Best way to connect a Hub and a separated 360 TV box

[Burtybhoy]

As part of our property renovation were are creating a study and a lounge/snug, the latter will have the TV (and 360 Box?) and the former will have the desktop (and Hub?). Previously both Hub & 360 TV box were in the same room and adjacent to each other; the computer was connected to the Hub via RJ Ethernet cables and wall adapters plugged into the ring main - worked a treat. 

What is the best configuration now given that the Hub and 360 TV box will no longer be in the same room?  The study and lounge/snug are about 10 metres apart, on the same floor and in line with each other separated by an entrance hall.

we will also have a TV in the open plan kitchen dining living space to the rear of the property so what do I need to connect that TV to the 360 TV box in the lounge/snug?

Thanking you in anticipation

The TV360 box can use WiFi if there is no Ethernet available. What it does need is the mandatory coaxial connection. You will need to book a tech visit (cost £25) to extend the specialised coax & adjust the signal levels in the street cabinet to compensate for the longer cable run. DIY extensions could cause network issues so please do not consider doing this work yourself.

You have 2 options for the second TV:

1) Rent & have installed a V360 Mini box. This requires the same connections as the main box & costs £10 extra a month.

2) Use an HDMI splitter & either a long HDMI lead or a wireless HDMI extender for the other TV.

Much appreciated - very helpful answer. 

I presume that if using an HDMI splitter and extension then whatever is selected on the main TVbin the lounge/snug will be shown on the 2nd RV in the open plan kitchen living dining space or can you select a different channel to watch?

You are correct, as you are using the same connection for both TVs.
