Virgin (NTL) cable TV question

[shoshntosh]

hi

i have an NTL (now virgin) cable box that is currently connected to our one and only tv. does anyone know if you get a second telly (as we are thinking of doing) and want cable would we need to get a second cable box and pay more money?

does it work the same way with other providers such as SKY?

thanks

usually cost you an extra tenner or so

[shoshntosh]

thanks for your reply.

sorry to be thick but is that a one-off charge or a monthly charge?

thanks

monthly - its the hire charge for the box

orr look on the internet for a starview box,

its about ?100

not illegal to sell but to use...

it gives you waaay more channels than the usual virgin

you can buy wireless gizmos that transmit signal from one digi box to a Tv elsewhere in the house. Only an issue if two separate channels are required at once.
