TV channel problem

I have recently got virgin WiFi with a 360 box. However my tv is too far away from my router area to connect the tv coax to the router. Can I get a cable extension or something? Does my virgin tv work straight from my Broadband hub once I get a wire long enough.

Hi @Jt67 👋 Thank you for your post and welcome to the Virgin Media Community 😀

If you'd like your Hub or set top box to be re-located, there will be a one-off charge of £25.

Please let us know if you'd like to proceed on that basis.

Thank you for your support @japitts 👍

The co-ax cable is what provides your router with the broadband signal, and your TV360 with the live broadcast channels, each need their own separate feed. The separate connection between your TV360 & router is ideally Ethernet cable but can be wireless.

If you don't have co-ax connection points where you need them, you'll need a manned engineer installation.

My router is in my hall cupboard the wire provided is long enough to move the router but the splitter wire is too small

If you are within a few weeks of the install, VM should not charge you for the additional work. The self install kit was not suitable for where you wanted the hub & TV box located. That is not your fault, so the additional cable run/signal rebalance should be classed as a manned install, not a paid for alteration to an existing working setup.
