    Default alternative to Virgin

    HI Guys

    I am using Virgin Broadband to watch Kriptview, however I am thinking of swapping them, thinking of Sky. Would I be able to run my Kriptview box through Skyboard.

    You can use any broadband, including Sky, so long as you have a live cable TV feed to the box.

    They usually do not dispatch a tech to disconnect your feed at the cab immediately. Next time there is a scheduled visit to the cab it could get disconnected. I have heard of people donning a Hi-Vis jacket and reconnecting themselves, apparently the co-ax at the cab is labelled and they usually leave the plug on
