added an extra virgin box to another room and it comes up ld-20 or ld30 and wont do anything else. have even connected it to another tele where another box works and does same thing so not cables.

anyone know anything about them?

we had boxes upstairs and down and they work ok

now we have transferred to sky
which is much better and cheaper for the tv
but stayed with virgin for the Internet and phone
as they gave me a deal £10 a month for both

How did you get the box Dawnie, OH says normally you would buy it from Virgin media and they would come and set it up. It sounds as if it is not set up properly.

Dawnie, OH said what sort of box is it. A V box is one but there is another box that needs a credit card type thing. If they both have cards try swopping them over.
