Re: [ot] Virgin V Plus Box

I've done something similar - but I don't have Virgin TV only
broadband -
however if you split the cable before it enters your broadband box you can
get all 5 channels plus some others BBC New, Sky One?? and some others
depending on your location.

I again got all the bits from Maplin and it cost it a couple of pounds.
