Re: are v+ boxes of any use?

I wouldn't say no

I suppose we better apologise to the op from veering massively off topic, the best advice I could give is put them back in the skip from which they came.

Surely Virginmedia will chase the ex customer who 'gave' the the V+ boes awayx, then go onto charge them a ridiculous fee per box when they can't return each one

They have probably left the house and whoever is in there has just binned the boxes.

Looks sweet, I,d love to be involved in this kind of work, instead of just the tinkering I tend to do these days.

Ive always had a soft spot for the cobra, I think its to do with the burble of a 5.7 litre chevy V8
