Virgin Media for TV

    I have Virgin Media for Broadband and Sky for TV
    I like the idea of having redundancy for the TV in case the broadband was ever to go down

    However it is very rare and looking and bundling the TV & Broadband into one

    My Virgin media hub is in my box room upstairs where I work from and in the same room is the connection box

    Does the TV box need to be plugged into the wall connection box via a cable or can it work through the wifi?

    If it means it has to be connected it would mean re routing the cabling etc to get it to the front room where the TV is and I was hoping that could be avoided

    Thanks

    Has to be on the co-ax. In some cases VM go over the roof to get a new point to the rear.

    TV is at the room at the front and so is the room upstairs that the hub is currently in, just on opposite sides at the front

    I suppose they could just extend to the room with TV over the top and down the front drain pipe

    In one word.."don't"
    It couldn't wait to get rid of virgin TV. The EPG was a disaster.
