    Cable Connection

    Hello ive just recently ordered a eurovox which i think sound amazing.

    I know u need a to connect it to a cable line.

    I no longer have my virgin media set top box but still have the white coxial cable that runs along the wall.

    Can i use this cable to connect up tO the back of the eurovox to scan for channels?

    Any help would be muh appreciated!

    if the line is live yes but u may need an adaptor to connect it to the the eurovox, plus the box will need flashing with firmware to get it working dont worry tho eurovox are fairly easy to do and the peeps will help u to do it any questions ask in relevent forums namely here- Eurovox

        Thanks alot mate and what do you mean by adapter?

        Do you not just put the coxial cable in the the rf input part of the eurovox?

        The one i purchased was the 5100.

          the end of a vm cable usually screws on to their boxes, on my eurovox its a straight rf in so ive a little adaptor that screws on to the vm cable then just pushes into my box, if u have a normal rf on the end of the cable your ok, u need to get the box first to start working things out.

                    It's called a satellite 'F' type socket to coax plug adapter (allows you to convert 'F' type connection to coaxial connection) you need a female 'F' to male coax adapter

                          Hello does anyone else have any info.

                          I no longer have my virgin media set top box but i still have the white cable running along the wall.

                          Will my wire still be live and be able to scan for channels?

                          Cheers

                            THE TRUTH
                            The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

                            Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                            The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.
