Multi room box

I have just received my upgraded virgin tv box (360 box).

The new box is in my living room (the tv cable connection is in my living room and I usually watch my tv in my bedroom 98% of the time).
I was wondering how to get a 2nd box for my bedroom, so I can watch my Virgin TV.

    I believe, from April 1st, the additional box offered would be a Stream/Flex/Apollo (?) streaming box with no recording facilities.   If an additional 360 mini would be your preferred option, it will incur additional fees.

    Either option would, I imagine, result in a new 18 month contract as your product set would be changing.

    If you wait here a day or two a VM Mod should pick this up and discuss.

      Because I spend a lot of my time in my bedroom and my Virgin media box is in my living room, I’ve rarely been able to watch my Virgin Media tv package. 
      If I was able to get something like a multi room device so I can watch virgin tv then that would be cool

    The default V360 offering with multiroom now is a Stream box, as it does not require a tech visit to install the required coax point the Mini V360 requires.

    It will still allow access to all the content on the main box, the same as the mini.

    The additional box will be an Apollo which, if it isn't part of a bundle, costs £10 per month. This streaming box relies wholly on the network and works best if you run an Ethernet cable to it from the hub.
