    You can also check for a loose cable as not all properties have a socket.   Look outside for a brown or grey VM box on the wall and trace the cable to the inside.  If it is a loose cable only, you will need one of these to connect the Quickstart cable.  https://www.diy.com/departments/slx-f-type-satellite-cable-coupler/5028422001905_BQ.prd

    Also try calling the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 8AM- 9PM Monday - Friday or 8AM-6PM Saturday and Sunday, and explain the problem

  • Is it a virgin coax connection socket on the wall ? If it is and it's not live then it might have been disconnected in the street cabinet. Just give Virgin a call and I would select the "leaving option" if you want to have a chance to speak to someone and ask for a manned installation, the other option is to wait for one of the forum team to respond which might be 2 to 3 days.
