    Virgin TV in two rooms

    I would like to be able to watch Virgin TV on both my livingroom and my bedroom (not at the same time). I currently have the XL package with all the sports in the livingroom.

    I do not want to pay for multi-room. I'm quite happy to unplug and take my Virgin +HD Box to my bedroom when I wanted to watch TV in there.

    But I do not have cable plumbed into my bedroom.

    Current options are:
    1. Paying for Multiroom (can't afford this)
    2. Feeding my own cable through the house to the other bedroom
    3. Video Sender


    Are there any other options, which would you recommend?

                the phone line cost you nothing, its actually more expensive to do it without a phone line.
                they do this because , they know they will make money from your calls.
                just unplug your phone from your wall

                    i rung up about prices not so long ago and told them i didnt want phone.
                    i was told it was more expensive withut phone.
                    i have bb, phone and tv package, maybe that has somethin to do with it

                    i presumed dazpem had bb.

                          Thought about this, I think the cables all over the place is out of the question per the missus. to the missus.

                            I didn't want a phone line either but I did want Broadband and XL TV and full Sky sports and apparently you have to get a phone line much to my bamboozlement. It actually does work out cheaper.

                            See the full details on this page.

                              Yeah but it's another ?99 for a second cable line installation to the bedroom first. So that option is a non starter.
