Newbie who needs a little help!

Hi
Wonder if someone could answer this for me?
i have got virgin media but now wish to get sky digital, but my parents want to keep virgin media (they have the broadband phone etc).
So what i was wondering is if you can get both sky which i only want in my bedroom nowhere else, and virgin media in the same house?
any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Yep. Sky comes in via dish to its own box, VM is fed through it's own cable and box.

Re: Newbie who needs a little help!

the sky installer will run a extention lead from ur socket to the area where the box is ment to be. it will be tacked around along the skirting boards (but will not be placed under carpets as they are not allowed to do this)
