    Virgin media box used in another used in a different area

    Guys good to see Dk back online, was having withdrawal symptoms.

    I have Ex5000 which has replaced my box provided by VM which is just sitting under my bed.

    My girlfriend has VM broadband in her house but no TV. If I were to put a splitter on the line coming in and attach my box, would this work or would VM know the box is out of it's area. My area and my girlfriends area are both TW.

    Thanks

    p.s sorry the title was meant to say Virgin Media box used in another area.

    as long as it has a active veiwing card you can use the box anywhere ive done this before and it works fine

    i would even say virgin would say nothing about it being in another house as your paying for it so doesnt really matter whewre it goes

          i would keep hold of that genuine vm box for yourself mate, as your ex5000 is going to be as dead as a dodo very soon.
