Virgin Media, London, can I get a basic package and a starview box?

I take it that NTL we are talking about Virgin Media? I live in London, can I get a basic package and a starview box?

My friend has an NTL package and starview box in Dublin, does it work the same way over in London?

Sorry if this is ridiculously basic I just want to know if I can go ahead with this that is all?

Thank you very much

 

If you have Digital in your area, then yes a st*rview b0x will work, once you have the basic package from your cable co.

 

Thank you, I will be back when I have sorted this out!

 

Do you need a specific Virgin TV cable to plug into the box, or any old Virgin Broadband?
I've heard about using a splitter, so would that splitter go into the back of the starview box, with the broadband cable go into that as well as the TV ariel, or have I gone ridiculously wrong?
I can't find any guides on what you actually need and how you set them up.
Thanks

Thanks very much. I was told that it would work on broadband a minute ago, but it's not coaxial I don't think. Am I screwed then?

 

Needs to be a coaxial & not a phone line.

 

I've detected a splitter on the wall, with the cable for the net coming out of one port and one spare. Will it not just work if I connect the box to the spare port in the splitter?

 

Try it & see if it works sammy.

 

Will do, thanks for your help. I'm a lost cause at times. I'l be back Wednesday when I get it asking about something else!

 

See you on Wednesday lol.

 

Same time, same place
