Switching Hub3 and V6 box

Hi, I have and existing VM setup which I've used for many years.

I have a V6 box and TV in the lounge and a Hub3 in the kitchen. Everything works ok.
I would like to move the V6 box and TV into the kitchen and put the Hub3 into the living room.
The kitchen will be much warmer this winter ;0)

Can I just disconnect the coax cables to the V6 and hub3 and simply switch them over or is it more complicated than that?

Regard
Alan

Hi Alan,

That shouldn't cause any problems at all as you seem to have 2 working coax points.

Just make sure that you tighten all the connections fully, especially the white coaxial.

They should work - just try it and see. Can always just put them back 🙂

There "could" be issues if the length of the co-ax cable to the two is significantly different - but tht's unlikely

If there is an "attenuator" (small silver box) on the Hub connection - make sure it stays on the Hub connection
