Hi rawsy,

Am I right in thinking that with a noise blocker the boxes location is kept unknown to vm?

Hi folks im new here but looks to have a lot of good info, apologies if i have posted in the wrong place.

Sadly my freeview PVR broke but luckily my sister was having the

virgin tivo box installed at her apartment and getting her V+HD box moved to her bedroom.

She had no real desire for a tv in her bedroom, so since I used to have virgin tv at my house (now only phone and broadband) I was welcome to try it out her old v+hd box.

So I picked it up took it home & plugged it in expecting it not to work, but to my surprise there were more channels than i got with freeview! I turned it off and did some research and reading up on this before i reconnect.

My questions are can virgin telli am doing this?

It is a scientificatlantaexplorer 8300DV v+HDbox. Does this 'talk back' to VM?

Do i need a 50db noise blocker to stop talk back and VM finding out?

Many thanks in advance.

Do they charge her an extra £10 per month for the second box or is that only if she has the full channel sub? If she's just on minimum package, does she still get the HD?

She get the 2nd box for free because she got tivo on full sub.

Ok so, 50db noise blocker = no talkback = no location givaway = happy chappy?
