VM Coax & Box

I have a Virgin phone line and broadband (business service), but not the TV service.

I am about to lift a wooden floor in the living room and at the same time plan to run in some speaker points and network sockets. Does anyone know where I can get a length of coax that Virgin would use from the Omnibox to the internal wall outlet and ideally a wall outlet so that I could run these in while the floor is up? In the future I like the idea of TIVO so woudl like to run in the cable while the room is being worked on.

I am assuming if I use the correct grade cable an installation engineer would be willing to use this.

Sorry meant to post in installations... if a Mod is around could this be moved please?

Re: VM Coax & Box

sometimes the VM branded boxes appear on ebay for cheap, otherwise if your getting an engineer out then just ask them to leave you (or fit) one.
