Hi all, first of all I know you are technically not allowed to interfere with virgin media equipment or cables, and any alterations should be done by an engineer or installer .My question is what is the worst that can happen if you do it yourself? such as extend or move the existing cable to move the tv around the lounge, or add a new tv point to another room for instance. sorry if this sounds daft,but if you buy good quality cable like wf100 or similar with proper crimp compression fittings and the correct type of splitters then what is the problem? What are the consequences if you do this by yourself and how would virgin media find out? just curious but lets say the braiding touches the center core accidentally what exactly would happen? would the tv just go a bit funny like with an aerial system? or would you cause a riot with your neighbours somehow? what exactly would happen? would there be any immediate effects if this were to happen? I just want to know the reasoning why virgin media feel justified to charge about £99 just to connect move the tv around or connect a daft bit of coax together? Why are virgin media so fussy about this?
thanks
thanks
