I'm happy now as have signal on 2nd TV, shame I can't get the menus duplicated though which is a real pain, really bad function that's been disabled by virgin on the boxes. I'm going to split the HDMi output signal and distribute it to the second TV when I find out the cheapest and simplest way...

Out of interest will splitting the HDMI signal enable me to see the menus on a second TV?

Hi chaps, thanks for that, yes im using the RF output via the Video scart lead and an RF modulator so i can see the viewing output from the box on another TV. Only problem with this Atlanta box is that i cant view the menus on the other TV which are disabled when usin the video output which i...

Wanted to know if the Virgin Media V+ boxes are interchangeable, I have seen a few on eBay as the fan on mine is noisy, is it as simple as just swapping the cards or are the boxes and cards individually paired? Thanks

Many thanks for the replies chaps, greatly appreciated. Sadly I only have low loss sat cable between the virgin media box and the second TV in the other room which has been installed in plastered stud-work so cat5e wiring is not an option. Most annoying as I have a box of cat 5e in the garage...

Hi thanks for the fast response, to answer sadly the menus when viewed on the HDmI connected TV do not appear on the second tv which is scart connected. I did read somewhere that this is normal when using the scart output if the HDMI is also connected. I haven't tried disconnecting the HDMI...

I have two tv's connected to my virgin media (scientific Atlanta) box, one via the HDMI output and the other via the scart output and an RF modulator to a cabled point in another room.The TV via the scart output although the picture is crystal clear sadly does not allow the virgin channel...

Can anyone help in advising roughly how much central heating inhibitor I need, I've just finished my heating install which consists of a Worcester 42cdi and 12 rads in a 4 double bed extended semi detached house. The system is generally plumbed in 15mm JG speedfit, and 6 of the rads are K2...

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced AV sender for a Virgin Media V+ box, I really only need the IR functionality to use the remote in another room on a second tv as my AV signal is hard wired. Also is the 5.8ghz sender the best one posing no interference to wifi which I have read transmits...

Hi many thanks for the speedy response, I struggled via the RF coax connection to get a signal, probably didn't prompt the box to RF out channel 52 as suggested so ill try that. I did however manage to use the V+ TV scart outlet to connect to a video recorder input then used the coax output...

Hello can anyone please help me in finding out how do i go about connecting a 2nd tv to my virgin media V+ box for secondary viewing the same channel as the main tv in another room, i know i cant view different channels without a secondary v box only what's being viewed on the main tv. I have...

Hi thanks for all the info chaps, ill check if one is in SAB and the other SCB probably not, i dont usually connect multiple bell boxes and I assume moving a link in one bell box from scb/sab will solve this? Am I correct in saying one bell module will draw the current from the alarm panel SAB...

In the panel, the one next to the bell fuse on pcb.

Yep ill try that thanks it's the same chip which keeps blowing so ill bell everything out again to be sure. Thanks

No I've not used scantronic for donkeys years since I used to fit alarms professionally in the early 90's, they used to do a 9100 and 9200 panel with yellow keypads if I remember. They were good panels then but I can't help you on their latest products, I would also personally opt for a wired...
