COAX

Can someone please help me with which specific coax cable (or attachment) will fit my box as the lead from the splitter does not fit (Virgin have not helped after 4 phone calls … even sending a remote control…)

the lead from the splitter is the same width as the coax entry - therefore will not fit together

You cannot connect the V6 directly to a coaxial cable as an IEC connector is required. Ask VM for this connector. In this photo see the coaxial cable connected to the V6 via the IEC connector (far left).

We are having the exact same problem and are told to source the cable from amazon

If you can post a photo of what you are trying to attach to it might help.

Duplicate posts merged to keep them in the same place - I very much doubt you would be officially advised to source co-ax cables from Amazon.

That said, as per nodrogd - post some pictures of what you mean and someone can advise.
