I have been a Telewest (VM) customer taking a full range TV services. This was followed by the installation of an early TIVO box. In order to have a second TIVO box upstairs VM ran a second cable directly from their outside junction box to the upstairs room. Both TIVO boxes work well albeit independently.

I decided to upgrade to the new V6 box and ordered 2 V6 boxes together the recommended 100mb router. I await the arrival of the second box. In meantime, the first V6 box and router works well.

The question I have is the whether the upstairs V6 box will plug into the existing cabling – and work seamlessly with the other V6 box – or whether I should prepare for the second box (I do not want to hold up the delayed installation – should have I have additional cabling installed or invest in ‘powerlines’)
