Multi Room Viewing

bluefinger

Hi
Am gonna go digital soon and have decided to go with the ntl digital pack. Been on their website and there's no mention of installing extra boxes extra for tvs in multiple rooms. Can anyone please tell me what the situation is here? Are there any recommendations for how to go about this?

As far as I know its €50 per installation per extra box.

Subscription is usually about €8.50 extra per box per month..

i currently have the ntl boxes in two other rooms attached to tvs, if i switched to digital would they need to be replaced with new boxes??

Er, NTL don't supply analogue STBs any more, all analogue services which required an STB (all MMDS customers and cable customers who took sports or movies) having being switched off a good while back.

If you mean the wall taps, NTL usually replace these when digital is installed, even though strictly speaking they may not need to be replaced.

You may only use the digital decoders supplied by UPC/NTL/Chorus/Casey/Virgin. They will supply extra for a nominal charge.

Anything else is Theft of Service in the EU.

I'm not trolling, even though this may seem like a contentious comment; but I think it's a shame that people can't view UPC's Digital line up using the tuner in their digital tvs... Instead you must use an ancillary box which just doesn't look neat when you wall mount your flat screen! I wouldn't mind paying for a CMI/CAM....

so in a nutshell, i got the exisiting analogue boxes in 2 other rooms currently, if i switch over to digital will these need to be replaced, also is it just the boxes than gets replaced or the whole cable as well?
