Got a letter last week saying I was due a speed increase to plus 150 maybe 175 in two weeks....

We only got two Virgin boxes, one upstairs and one downstairs as the Sky System we had worked fine like that and we fed 3 X TV's off each box.

I spent over £100 buying an electric mains plug in RF modulator plus an electic mains plug in type multi signal booster which connect to each other via a co-ax cable and then to the Virgin box via a scart lead; and the picture on the 2 secondary fed TV's is woeful.

Tbh, I agree with Joker that the Sky system works better for me. Channel changes are quicker and the guide seems easier to use.

And I'm getting dogs abuse from my family for meddling and even bothering to move from Sky

still on 2mbps.......if we are lucky!!!!! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The problem is that you're converting an analogue signal twice - and it will degrade each time - SCART to composite video, then modulating that to run over co-ax. The TiVo boxes aren't really designed with analogue in mind.

If you have decent TV's in other rooms, then it might be time to bite the bullet & buy an HDMI splitter & run HDMI cable to the other rooms.

Also, have you looked at Virgin Anywhere - allows you to use 2 iPads/tablets/laptops to watch TV - might pacify some of the family 'feedback'

I've just upgraded to the bt faster broadband. Couldn't get infinity out here in sticks. My old download was about 0.52mbs so rang up bt and he said he could improve it. So had new bt hub 5 and when I was connected wow 4.5mbs now no buffering and at least two of us can use the Internet at the same time. Well pleased

Problem sorted after 2.5 hours of our favoured Cable Guy's time!

All TV's were previously hard wired around the house by him anyway. The issue was the wrong type of mains powered modulators actually weakening the secondary TV feed signals. Perfect pictures all round now and by using something called a Powermid XL pyramid, channels can be changed in any room via the Virgin remote. The Powermid pyramid just plugs into the 3 pin mains socket and then works off a wireless signal transmitting from one pyramid in the TiVo box room to another pyramid in the secondary TV room.

Glad you got it sorted

Ah well, I have BT for the phone, Sky for the telly , Virgin cable broadband and my mobile from EE, thats what I call quad play and I keep it that way as I believe each is best of breed - its only money. Geoff

This might be where I don't say I work in problem management for BT.....

I currently have everything with Sky, but will shortly move my broadband to BT's Infinity 2 as its free for me. Only get 4 odd Meg download with Sky. I do like the Sky box, it's remote and user interface, so I may do more research and see if I move for tv or not.....

My sister has Vigin Media, and the broadband is well fast, but I'm not so struck on the interface on the TiVo box.....

Pleased you got your picture sorted......

Cheers. Sky seems more advanced on the sourcing programmes/ easy to work front. Virgin's remote control capabilities seem long winded and antiquated. Family firmly of the view that Sky is much easier and slicker to use.

Broadband better though and no signal interruptions.

Netflix + Turboflix and BT Infinity - much cheaper all round and BETTER. Land Rover Addict

For the same package as we had with Sky (2 boxes, the landline, broadband, full Sky TV Movies & Sports package) Virgin includes all of the same as Sky, plus better broadband and also adds BT Sport & Netflix. Outgoings on that lot are reducing from about £117/month with Sky down to £65.99/mth with Virgin, plus a £100 start up contribution from Virgin.

Much hassle to set up though, their after sales customer service is woeful to the point of being deliberately evasive and the professionalism of their sub contracted installers varies wildly. It took 3 goes over 2 months and hours upon hours of telephone complaints before they managed to send a pair of sub contractors who were remotely trustworthy to do the install.

Almost more trouble than the monthly reduction from Sky subs was worth!
