Relocating Wall Box, or not

My existing wall box and Hub is in a different room to my TV, but in a good place for the Hub signal (I had broadband only, no Virgin TV).  I've now upgraded and received a 360 box, which seems to necessitate moving the wall box and Hub to the living room with the TV.  I'd rather not have to move the Hub to a room with a poorer location in terms of signal, and am happy to connect to the 360 box via wi-fi, so could an engineer just run a longer coax outside, along the wall about 20m, and into the living room?

    That shouldn't be a problem you just need to ask for a manned installation and it might be free as part of the 360 box addition, if not then there's a £25 charge. You just need to make sure that where you want the 360 box that the WiFi signal is good if you can't run an ethernet cable to the box.

      Many thanks for your reply!  Wi-fi is good so sounds like a win.

    Hi VM2024 👋🏼.

    Thank you for posting and welcoming you back onto the community forum 😊.

    As Roy247 has mentioned there maybe a charge in moving your box however I can look into this for you.

    So I can further investigate 🧐.

    I will have to private message you. 

    Please watch out for the envelope ✉.

    Thank you.
