Your video helped me install my xfinity internet and cable again. I’ve been trying for a whole week after uninstalling everything to move the tv around,, I would turn on internet and cable would be off and vice versa so thanks a lot from the U.S.
Got mine installed yesterday. Engineer had to come into the house as it was a new install. Took an hour. Gone from 25 Mbps broadband with Sky to 220Mbps with Virgin. 360 TV box is a nice bit of kit too. So far I'm impressed.
Just signed up 6pm yesterday after moving to my new flat after only 1 day, and the guy on the phone was really helpful. should be getting my self installation kit this Thursday can't wait.
@@kingdylan5999 if your house has had virgin media before then no, they'll just send you a quick start kit and an engineer won't even need to visit. But if you haven't then the engineer will do a test to see which rooms have the strongest wifi signals to determine the best position for your wifi receiver.
Can the wire that comes across my (property) garden into the brown box on the outside of my house be extended???? If it can what cable is it that i need to buy ????
Is the phone now on the thicker cable for broadband? Having broadband/Phone installed in a few days only has a thicker cable coming into the house? Will that carry both internet and phone on that one cable?
Signed up on 10th April, install date is on 29th April, I’m wondering how they will get the cable from the pavement to my property, I don’t have a front lawn or anything it’s just block paving, I don’t really want the driveway to be dug up etc to feed the cable underneath 🤕
Hi if there is an existing cable we can use that. If a new cable is needed we will have to get a cable from the street to the house either take up the edge or tack to a wall above ground or tuck into the edge concreted best to look where the CATV little grid is in the pavement and work a rout you are happy with from there. Either way we have to get a cable to the house.
I am trying to figure out what cables are installed for Virgin M100 broadband only? I will not be having TV services as I do not want them and do not have a TV licence anyway. There is a cable point on the pathway and my frontage is about 16ft from the pathway so assume they will need to run cable along my flower bed to a box on the front wall of the house. But just wondering what cables will need to go inside ? Would i still need the Co-ax ? Additional cables would need to be run in capping along my skirting board to the other-side of the lounge a phone/ethernet cable will fit inside my speaker capping but i do not think there is room for a co-ax as well.
As you’ve turned the isolator cable into the router. The directions in my box said you shouldn’t twist it. Is that BS from the directions? As mine isn’t flush there’s looks like there still threading
I know this going to sound daft I’ve got virgin fibre 1000mps being instilled very soon but in my area we cannot get cable tv. Am I right in saying the cable tv goes through the internet. They can provide a stream box within I don’t want any help here thanks
@@alesjones9549 thanks for information but I don’t understand why I can’t get cable tv as I understand it works from the internet or does it have something to do with the exchange box’s in our road
I just got my hub 3 kit today but I can’t plug the splitter cable into the hub. It says just plug not screw. But in your video, it looks like you were screwing?
If i order broadband and telephone only now, will i be able to upgrade to tv just buy subscribing and installing the set top box? How many tv sets can it run?
You can have up to 3 360 stb 1 with hardrive and 2 mini stb. All will need cables ran to them connecting them to our system and a wired or wireless connection to the hub. More stb would usually be the larger older version of box. This is still to be confirmed on the new 360 software.
Why would Ethernet cable need to be connected from Hub 3 Router to TV Box? Wouldn’t it receive same signal from the Coaxial cable as my Mums TIVO box only has a Coaxial cable plugged into it with HDMI cable going to the TV 🤔 (TiVo box is on ground floor living room and Router is on 2nd floor).
The coax supplies the live TV signal the TiVo 500 has a built in internet connection and does not need a modem. The V6 can connect to the hub on either a wired ethernet or a WiFi connection.
I am rejoining Virgin ,but broadband only.My question is as follows , my set up is the same as your video ; screw fastening .Checking Virgin self install video , shows isolator cable as push on ,from the white wall box . Is the white wall box the isolator.
Yes the white box on the wall should have a screw at the bottom and should be an isolator. The cable sent in the quickstsrt kit will have an isolator in one of the cables.
If you have a PC in another room. Will the Virgin installer hard wire the PC whilst providing a TV in the main room? Or do I have to commit to one room? (Ie. PC would have to be wireless)
Hi! Quick question. Ordered the ultimate volt bundle. Package for tv says virgin 360 tv (already installed), additional tv box and the virgin 360 mini box. Am I supposed to have another 360 installed alongside the mini box?

I just wanted to ask a question, can the broadband be set up so it's inside a bedroom that's facing the back garden, and not the front? It'd need a lot of cables around the wall of the house but, I was wondering if that's possible.
The engineer should put the equipment where you ask it to be. We put TV boxes in back bedrooms all the time so there shouldn't be an issue. We have also have pods our new wifi extenders. There is a charge on some packages. To move existing equipment there will be a charge from the company
@@alesjones9549 Thanks mate, appreciate it a whole bunch. I am considering getting Virgin Media since I can only get 32Mbps down and 7.7Mbps up on my current provider (BT) due to it being FTTC but Virgin's rolled out on my street and will be available in August. I'd only go for the broadband if I choose to get Virgin services. (I also don't pay for the internet so I could have both BT and Virgin in the house if I really wanted to, since BT and Virgin use different networks and I'd be paying for my own service??)
@@alesjones9549 I had my VM connection installed 2 days ago. You were right, the technician was more than happy to install it in my bedroom, and the cables from the big brown Omnibox went around the brick wall of our house and directly into my room. The white box on the wall is plugged into a socket. I'm getting 7-8ms ping, 550-556Mbps download and 36-37Mbps upload. I'm happy.
It's OK sending a self install kit but pretty certain they haven't sent me the right or enough cables . I havent been sent a splitter and all the cables are push on rather than screw on... managed to connect but just getting tv and no digital services or option to record etc. Does anyone know if I can move my hub from office upstairs to the connection downstairs...is it the same cable to connect bb hub and TV?
This is my 2nd connection at the house. Virgin pulled up a new line to my house for the 2nd connection. The technican split the line upstairs which was connecting the 1st router to connect the 2nd connection. Will this affect my speed and ping. Thanks
Question, I’ve just ordered a package from VM, when I was checking out it stated that my flat was already compatible and didn’t need an engineer however after looking at my connection it appears to be going to a satellite dish, does anyone know if this will still work?
my mum has virgin tv and phone already and has just ordered broadband which they said they are sending her. Will she need anything special to be able to make it work? Is it easy to set up?
It will hold 2 weeks of Chanel info then will need to be connected to internet to update schedual. It needs constant internet access for on demand and apps to work.
Oh man, what the heck. Mine is coming tomorrow. Why the heck is there an ethernet and phone connection on the router/modem now? I currently have my TV downstairs and router upstairs in 'modem mode' as I'm using my own router. Can I still do this in modem mode?
phone connection is 21st century voice so its a normal phone line but runs over the internet. The lan ports are there if you want to use them. you can put the router in modem mode if you want to yes
I had the same question myself and in fact it is a ordinary coaxial cable but it is produced by Virgin Media and has been made properly for the internet to come through nice and fast. The fibre optic part is actually from what is called the head end node which feeds the fibre optic cable into an optical node which converts it to coax and then goes through to amplifier nodes and taps that then connect to your house.
all cable inside the property is coax. outside it is fibre if you are in an FTTP enabled area, or coax if in the older style HFC. Either way it doesn't matter the service and speeds are the same.
Hi, mate. I have a problem... I changed the house and I installed the kit again, but the router have a flickering white light for 5 minutes, then goes to a static red light. I unplug everything, rested the router 3 times, I checked the wall socket, the wire seems ok, but the router still hase that problem. And yes, I activated the Internet when I moved. Do you have any suggestions? They said that they will send someone to check, but that will be in two weeks....
The red light usually means modem mode but can be a fault. I have seen this fault working with internet and without. You can try to reset with a 50 second pinhole reset instead of 10 seconds I recommend to time it. Turn it off wait for the white light then pinhole for 50 seconds this will completely reset the hub. If you have a TV stb and are getting your channels that shows the signal is there.
@@alesjones9549 Thank you for replying. I've done what you said the second time when I reset the router, it did the same thing. Wite light for 5 minutes, then goes red. (HUB 4 ) I even tried with a different hub (HUB 2) , the same thing happened, it went red after a bit. And the hub appears on my phone but it says that is " Connected without internet". Maybe is a problem with the outside socket?
Hub 4 red light means no signal you are either connected to the wrong place or not connected in cab. If it's the cab you will need an engineer to do external work.
I got mine on self install as previous tenants had VM however the new isolator cable is very short and doesn’t reach where the TV is. Any suggestions? There is this style extension wires installed previously however the wires I received are now push and click no need to twist & tighten. Would the old wires still work ? Thanks
I'm so so confused.i just signed up for virgin and my start kit comes Monday.Im not supposed to be allowed to make decisions like this..I am the bill payer but I'm classed as vulnerable and I think I've made a big mistake..Ive been sick this morning and up all night with worry..I've to do it myself and I've checked my house.(I live in a flat) been told the area is virgin ready BUT I can't find a box with bits coming out of it..In the past I've had talk talk but no box like described here...What do I do?? 😭😭
When you receive the kit if you can't find where it goes call in and we will arrange an engineer to come and do it for you. Don't worry we will help you.
What cable is it from internal box to the splitter, reason I'm asking is that I have sky currently and have run cables from external wall to my sky box under my wooden floors, could these be used?
only if they're solid core and have no noise ingress on them (needs verified with a meter). hollow core can be used for tv only in very short distances with no problems i.e a few metres max and again with no noise ingress.
Does the hub have to be wired to the set too box? My hub is in the back of the house, with the to being in the front of the house. Are wire in is already split from when we had virgin tv previously, and the cable is still in place
Some of the new expansion areas of the network are fttp and converted to coaxial externaly. The existing areas are coaxial from cab to house the fiber convertision takes place before the cab. All equipment hubs and TV boxes are connected to coaxial cables.
We should not drill through door frames or window frames. If a cable needs to come into the flat it will be through the wall. The video is a top floor flat and the entry point is as it should be, through the wall in the corner.
@@alesjones9549 By chance there was a Virgin Media engineer doing some drilling and I think placing some cabling just outside our door (we are on a 5th floor flat) but nicely done with covers on it. He said that the lines will be ready in a week or two and that some drilling may be required to pass through the cabling just above our front door to connect it to the inside of our flat for the router. Sorry I hope I was able to explain that. So do you think drilling would not be required? And if I was to cancel Sky how fast to VMs engineers arrive for a visit?
@@TechNomadUK1 a cable will need to be put inside your flat I'm in the north lead times are about 7 to 14 days ATM not sure about down south. You can contact me privately with your postcode and contact and I can refer you for a deal.

Does a electric line from the street goes into the brown box and not from your house electric?
The line is radio waves. The electric is from your house to run the hub/stb

Can the bb hub be connected to the TV cable that comes in the house pretty certain I haven't been sent correct cables and no splitter also

@@alesjones9549 How do I private message you? I'm an NHS key worker and I can also get discounts off a website. Unless.you can get us something better. But If based on what I told you would suggest that drilling would not be required then I'll probably cancel my Sky then.
thank you Manouevres
i tried that site but there is nothing
Really helpful thank you
Hello does the Virgin V6 box (not the router) have a dedicated ethernet socket through which I could connect to my Network streamer listening to music like tidal?
Or am I forced to use the router going the ethernet way?
Many thanks
I don't want to connect via WiFi.
No only the HDMI cable to TV the Ethernet connection is to connect to the router
Hi Andrew I dare you to plug a new xbox into that super hub 3 via lan cable and watch it keep losing connection
