Setup

I am due to get a tv360 box shortly and have been checking on the internet how to connect it. I have got quite confused.  Will it work without a connection to the coax socket on the rear of the box ...

    All V6 & TV360 boxes require 3 connections.

    1: The co-ax provides the incoming live broadcast channel feed, and needs to be separate of your home broadband - else the broadband won't work

    2: An internet connection via your home-hub, for all things online. OnDemand, streaming, various updates. Ethernet connection is best given the choice, reliable wireless can suffice

    3: HDMI to your TV

    If you don't have a co-ax connection wherever you want to use the TV box, you'll need a manned tech installation. VM is a cable-based system and is totally independent of Freeview. If you want any of your TV's to have a separate Freeview feed, then that would come via your aerial - but has nothing to do with Virgin Media.
