How do I get a 360 mini box

[stevewsm1]

Hi, forgive me if this has been asked before. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade my PVR from a V6 to the new 360 box. I received this today and set it up with no problems. 

How do I get a 360 mini box? I have tried calling the number I thought I would need to call but it says the call centre is closed. 

Can anyone advise how best to go about this?

If you want to go multiroom with V360 it will mean installing another coax point where the box will go. The mini boxes are I believe cheaper than multiroom with a V6 box, but obviously there will be installation charges.

Be aware that the mini boxes are reliant on Ethernet or WiFi for everything except the live channels, & you cannot pause live TV for more than a few minutes.

The call centre opens at 8am tomorrow.

It is not really an upgrade - it is a switch to alternate boxes with quite different menus systems and services.

A mini will now be an additional box which they are likely to charge for.

I got main and mini set together but they replaced two V6s.

I think that an additional V6 box costs £99.95 plus £35 set up fee plus £7.50 per month, no reason to believe that a mini-box installation will be different. There is a different costing if you were subscribe to an 18-month bundle as you'd pay a £30 network installation fee plus £10 for the first additional box and £5 for each additional box.

Those fees have recently been updated, it's £10pm for an additional box but the up front fee is lower.
Or you can upgrade to Ultimate Oomph, which has a second box included

Thank you for your reply. 

does the mini have to have a coaxial connection or is it WiFi

Hello

The V360 mini box requires a coaxial connection to get the live channels, and wifi or ethernet to connect to the main box.

Thank you. Does it need coaxial to play recordings already on the main box on a tv in another room

[DJ_Shadow1966]

Hello

It needs the coaxial connection to work, if there is no coaxial connection then the box will not startup and you will not be able to use it.

To watch UHD (BT Sport, Netflix, Amazon) on a mini box in my cave, as stated I need coax, but will WiFi suffice or should I pull through some Cat 5 or 6 cable? 

I am about to have "Oomph" package installed so would at some stage prefer Cat 6 cable, but just wander how immediate this should be.
