Wireless Mini Box

[mjryan78]

Hello,

I think I already know the answer to this but are Wireless Mini 360 TV boxes available in the UK or are they only available in Ireland? 

I’m getting one installed next week and the wife is upset at the prospect of running some cables across her wallpaper.

thanks,

Matt

If you only have broadband you can have a stream box which is WiFi.

If you are on 360 and adding a mini box it will need a coax cable for live TV and a internet connection either by ethernet cable or WiFi for everything else, and of course HDMI to TV.

Thanks for the response. I thought so.

What's the Wireless Mini 360 TV box you have seen available in Ireland.

That is the Stream box in the UK which is only available to broadband only customers and has no recording capability.

Not according to the blurb. It looks to have the same features as the coax mini box but delivered over WiFi. 

It would be great to know what plans there might be to introduce this to UK customers.

The wireless boxes in the UK are only cloud recording enabled, which is broadcaster blocked currently. They also cannot access recordings on the V360 box hard drives, so VM UK do not mix the two systems. Nothing is likely to happen until the autumn when there are several possible changes in the pipeline. However, some of these changes are outside VMs control
