    Hi all, i just purchased the starview3 and it is up and running perfectly although i do have a couple of queries i hope someone out there could help me with, first of all, is it ok to have my v*rg*n disconnect altogether? because the starview works of just the cable.
    Also, does anyone have the sky ppv channels, sky1 and sky sprt news or r these not shown because v*rgn dont broadcast them channels anyway?

    Unfortunatley the answer to both your questions is No !!
    You need a basic sub from your providor and You dont get sly in the UK

    Hi Langie, in your original post you only asked about getting the channels, so what is it you would like to do? do you have 2 boxes and you want to run these to different rooms or what? Let me know And i will do my best to advise you!

    I am not sure to be honest, but if you are getting a sub for the phone and internet with Vi**in i am sure they will see that you have the TV working from them as well.. Look even if you are sussed , didnt you get away with it for long enough!!!LOl
    all good thing come to an end!!!

    As I said I am not familiar with your type of set up, you will just have to wait and hope/see!!!

    If you are getting Virgin Media broadband via cable, then it will definantely work for you, no problems, you can even put a splitter from the modem box (Point Of entry) and run it from there. Just don't let the lazy buggers put a splitter on your TV feed, insist that they run you a seperate cable and box on wall.
