Setting Up Virgin TV 360 & Hub in Different Rooms
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Virgin TV 360 box, but from what I've read, the installation cables supplied favour the 360 box and hub being close together (in the same room).
Current Setup - I have two of those internal white Virgin wall boxes (coax):
- One is in the sitting room connected to the Tivo box.
- The other is in the spare room upstairs, connected to the hub via a longer coax cable (hub is in my bedroom next to PC, connected via ethernet cable).
I want to keep my current setup, but the cabling supplied in the Virgin TV 360 installation package isn't going to work.
From everything I've read, what matters is:
- The Virgin TV 360 box must be connected to coax and ethernet/Wi-Fi.
- The hub must be connected to coax.
If I've understood correctly, the Virgin TV 360 box and the hub don't have to be connected to the same coax source; the Virgin TV 360 box can connect to the white wall box (coax) downstairs, while the hub can connect to the white wall box (coax) upstairs. Is this correct?
If it is...
- Can I connect the hub to the white wall box (coax) in the spare room upstairs via an extension coax cable, so it stretches to my bedroom?
- Can I connect the TV 360 box to the white wall box (coax) in the sitting room using the coax isolator cable supplied in the TV 360 installation package (see here) and use Wi-Fi?
I've read on these forums that Virgin can send out pre-made extension coax cables up to 3M in length if requested (see here).
Will my proposed setup work?
Thanks in advance.
