    Ill try to explain this, hopefully it rings a bell with someone who can direct me. I bought a simple Saorview setup, aerial, wall mount, cable run etc. Set it up directly to the combo box and it worked (connected directly from aerial to the combo box, not through the internal house cables to verify it worked okay, and it did).

    I then to route the cables through the junction box. Its a new house and there are 2. One box has a Virgin media cable, and a VM box in the living room (which won't be used). There are 3 white cables in the same box, then there is a box with Eircom written on it and it contains 2 black (double cables). I can't for the life of me figure out which to connect the Saorview cable to? Anyone familiar with this type of setup? Thanks in advance

    Pictures might be useful. It's very hard to give correct advice based on what you have posted.

    The eircom box is for telephone and so no use to you with this.

    As regards the co-ax cabling carrying the VM signal, this cannot be shared with Saorview due to conflicting frequencies that may be used by both providers. As regards the VM junction box, where is it located? The 3 white cables, it's not possible for us to know where these cables go to or how the house was cabled at build.
