If you don't have a co-ax cable connection in the location you want to use any VM kit, then you'll need a manned install.
You can either call in to arrange this, or wait on this forum for staff to respond. The latter may take a couple of days, the former is either 150 from a VM phone or 0345 4541111 from any other phone

The V360 box receives broadcast channels down the coaxial cable in the same way a Sky Satellite receiver gets its broadcast channels down a coaxial cable from a dish outside. No cable, no channels.
A VM technician can split the incoming coax to either create another entry point from external wiring, or wire internally if you wish.
