Hi

Just like to say the threads on Sky v's VM have some really useful discussion, so thank you. They have helped me decide to get VM.

I need 2 boxes for my house, and although I am not fussed about HD, the PVR facility is very important. If I got 2 V+ boxes, is it possible to transfer information from one box the the other? If I record something downstairs, is it possible to watch it upstairs?

THank you.....

Not with the current implementation of the software in the box although the hardware is capable of this.

Is it possible to transfer data from the V+ box to say a memory card/stick etc so it can be transfered?

I think the only alternative is to record everything on both V+ boxes in case I want to watch it in bed!!

Afraid not

You could run coax from one/both V+ STBs to the alternative location(s) or use an AV sender, though coax is preferable

I'm not a technical person on this I'm afraid but appreciate any help you can give.

I know what a Coax cable is, but how do you attach this from the V+ to an alternate TV. Does the receiving TV need to have a V+ or VM box?
What is an STB?
If I use an AV sender, can you recommend one?

thanks in advance

From the RF output on the back of the V+ to the RF input on your TV*

Nope, as stated above, the coax just connects directly to the TV.

Sorry, STB just means Set-Top Box.

See here*

* If you receive 2 x Scientific Atlanta V+ and are planning to connect them to your main TVs using HDMI, there are limitations to the above. If you are using scart to connect instead or receive 2 x Samsung V+ instead (new model), then you will not have this issue

And just one more question, slightly related, I was told by VM that the install is £99 per box. Is it true that some people are paying half price for install by arguing a certain point (ie new customers / old customers get a discount on install).
I only have VM phone and BB.

thanks

You shouldn't need to argue, it's up on their website until 12th April. See here & here
