V+ Box`

[rowlystravel]

hi, i currently subscribe to VM and have a V+ box and a second standard box.. is it possible to buy a second hand V+ box off ebay and use it? or will i have a problem with NET ID and Box ID etc etc

im not trying to do anything illegal here i just want to watch what i pay for but have HD in two rooms without paying over the odds

hi m8 even if u do buy a hd box off fleabay chances of the net id bein rite are small, so u would have to sort the net id out, and even when that is done u will still only end up with fta channels the record functions wont work ither that only works if u subbscribe using that box. hope this as helped u...

thanks chief, i figured as much but thought it was worth asking... i would imagine VM would "switch me on" if i asked them to with a box like that and charge a monthly multiroom fee then.. just they charge a lot of money for an extra v+ box....

i think im going to have to fix my satellite set up, the snow ruined it and i lost my football

i asked the engineer when i had my V+ installed

he told me they pair the card and box, i as i wanted the old v box to use upstairs, so going on what he said they wont work

Hi,
I have also a V+ box in one room and a standard box in another but would like to upgrade to another V+ box. The trouble is I've phoned VM up on a couple of occasions and they have quoted me ?150 each time. Has anyone out there had a second V+ box from VM any cheaper?

Call cancellations and tell them you're off to Sky-I got a V+ box for ?49 not ?75-as an existing customer you don't pay ?150-if you want multiroom see what they can offer you-they are always keen to do a deal to keep you-don't muck around with customer services,cancellations is what you need.Phone 150 if you have their phoneline and pick the option "thinking of leaving?"Hope this helps,craig.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I called the VM cancellation department and I have now ordered a new second V+ Box for ?49 instead of the ?150 I had been quoted by them on two occasions. It will also be installed this week. Great site keep up the good work DK and lets get this N3 cracked asap.
