Hi there,


I changed my TV device with Virgin Media to a Tivo about a year ago and at the same time got a Superhub2 both located in our lounge. My daughter had my old HD Virgin box moved to her room and Me and my wife had a new HD box put in our bedroom. All these connections come out of the junction box on our front house wall. Now my daughter is moving out I am able to take over her old bedroom as a den but without the need for a TV and wonder if I can move the Superhub to the bedroom and attach it to the connection that the TV box is currently attached to without having to get Virgin out to do so. If I can use this then my PC and SBS3 can be connected via ethernet cable to the Superhub and hopefully get rid of the current set up of my SBS3 connected to a bridge as regular drop outs occur between the SBS3 and computer.


Any advice gratefully received.

I'm not sure I understand the wiring?

The SuperHub (i assume) is the main delivery point into the house for Virgin's TV and broadband?  If it is, there should be a coax input from the street?

How does the broadband and TV get distributed around the house?  Is it WiFi or cabled?  How are the TV's connected?  Cabled or WiFi?

Sorry if I didn't explain it properly.


There is 1 cable from roadside location box to a box on side of my house. This then splits into 5 separate cables from the house wall box. 1 to telephone, I to router/modem, 1 to TivO, 1 to Masterbedroom, 1 to spare bedroom. The later 4 all look identical and terminate in the same type of connectors to the respective Virgin boxes and Superhub.


What I want to do is move the Superhub from the connecting point in the lounge and use the connection point in the bedroom as that is were the prime user is (That is me with my PC and SBS3). I will then connect to them rather than using wireless for these.


I will still need the Wifi option on the Superhub for when grandkids are staying and take over mine and my wifes tablets!


I just wondered if anyone else had decided to chainge the locations within a Virgin set-up and whther it needs them on site to do it or whether the individual boxes detect what they need once connected and booted up.

I moved mine  without any problem.
No need for any any visits

Lee,


Thanks for the advice. Got to decorate the "spare" bedroom and then move all my junk in from the box room and lounge to keep the wife happy.....
