Hi All

First of all apologies if this has been answered before.

I currently have a VU+ Solo 2 running Vix hooked up to a standard sky dish and a motorised dish but the house I'm moving to has no dish installed but has previously had virgin and the cabling is still in the lounge.

I take it I will need to a buy a VU+ Turbo USB Tuner DVB-C/T2 to use this?
Should virgin just work when plugged in?
What do i need to change in ABM to get the channel lists etc.
Net ID for Studley Warwickshire?
Any other setup work do be done?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

The line needs to be active tho. Do you have virgin media broadband or virgin media TV service?

No I havent moved in yet, so in order for it to work i would need to activate the line by taking out one of their services?

Well i would think TV package becuase the signal levels would work out better right? I am not sure about that tho

Most of the time virgin don't bother disconnecting the line so if your lucky it may still be active
