Requesting additional cable

[Lindajane59]

I currently have TV360 and have a box in my lounge and a mini box in my son's bedroom. I'm shortly going to be having surgery which will see me confined to my bedroom for a few weeks so I'd like to be able to watch tv from there.  However, I understand that in order to do that I'd need a cable connection in my room which I don't have.  I've looked on the Virgin Media site but I can't see any way of arranging to have one installed and there no longer appears to be a chat function.  Can someone advise how I go about arranging for an additional connection to be installed?

Non-fault cabling works can be arranged via the "I have a fault" phone route, or by waiting here, and comes at a small price of £25.

Your alternative option is to use the TV Go app on a compatible mobile device and use in-home streaming..

Thats what I'm looking for.  So I cant do it on line?

What do you mean "waiting here"?

I mean that Virgin Media staff often respond to posts on here, and can assist with queries such as this. Just wait around, and their turnaround is currently around a couple of days. You'll recognise their reply because underneath their username is "Virgin Media staff" or "Forum Team," and their avatar graphic (where mine is a west-country rugby club) is the Virgin Media logo.

VM have no online fault reporting or appointment booking system outwith this community forum.

We can certainly arrange this for you however as mentioned above there is a £25 charge that would appear on your bill after the visit.
