Can I use a transformer & receiver with virgin tvvo.so I can receive virgin tv on my tv in the bedroom. Or is there another way of doing it like with sky u can use a magic eye in Ariel socket.& two way Ariel splitter
Not sure about about the transmitter but the magic eye thing is possible however you wouldn't be able to change channel unless your pointing your remote at your box because a sky box has power going through the magic eye but a virgin box doesn't

Hi, The first thing to do is troubleshoot your TV independent to any other service provider that has a box that probably connects to your TV via a HDMI cable or old version scart.
Simply turn off your TV and turn off the socket that the TV is plugged in for 20 mins. Also turn of any Virgin media boxes.
After 20 mins turn on the TV. Do not worry if you get a message saying no signal detected. Wait and see if the TV stays on with no messages such as auto-standby. If the TV remains on with no problems then turn on your Virgin Media Box. The box will need to initialise ( about 30 seconds ) and then the TV should recognise the HDMI signal and you will see the Virgin TV.
If your TV turns off at any point during this process you have a fault with the TV, If when you turn on the Virgin box and no signal is detected you have either a cable connection problem or a Virgin Box problem, so using your TV REMOTE turn your TV back to ARIEL input to receive the normal television broadcasts via your Ariel that give you the normal freeview television that all modern TV's can receive, if you can get the normal reception contact virgin support who will troubleshoot your problem.
No,half a second that not consider a problems.There are hundred of hardwares and softwares design by dozen of compannies and corporations.Putting these diveces together 100% functionals are not gaureentee.99.99.....% out of 100% is not cosider a problems.
your on track . better than i could have accomplished. no updates on this receiver. strange how it worked for 9 months,though.I am inclined towards the v-box as well. but i have not been able to get any info about this box.
Virgin Media is received via an external box and there is no way to simply program the tv so that your gran can just press one number.
There is a complicated way, but it would be even more confusing. Some Virgin boxes have an RF (i.e. regular tv aerial) output in addition to the usual Scart output. The RF output can be tuned into a regular terrestrial channel, but reception quality is poor compared to using the Scart. Your gran will have to remember to ensure the tv is set to terrestrial reception and to use the source button and ext when she wants to go back to Virgin. This also will not work when the tv uses it's own inbuilt digital Freeview receiver so it's both confusing and useless after the digital switchover.
Either leave the TV permanently set to ext and tell your gran to only ever use the Virgin remote to change channels, or be patient with her as she takes time to learn how to select between terrestrial, Freeview and Virgin.
It's less than ideal and when I worked for a tv rental company this kind of complication was a major pain for older customers (and younger non tech savvy ones!)
It may also be worth looking for a simplified universal remote control with clear buttons. There is one which has large buttons but the controller is almost the size of a sheet of A4 paper.
I don,t where you live & therefore I don't know which transmitter you will be picking but this sounds as if your local transmitter has now stopped transmitting the analogue signal. You maybe aware from a lot of advertising that this form of signal will be getting turned off in different areas around the country so unless you have cable or a digi-box or a digital TV then you will not receive any signal. As you have the Virgin box you will still receive channels 1 to 5 on digital but not on analogue.
Right then, on the back of the virgin box there are 2 scart outlets, connect one scart from the TV scart port to the scart in on the DVD recorder, then connect one scart lead from the scart out on the DVD recorder to the TV. Find the DVD recorder source channel on the TV and then use the DVD remote control to find the digital input on the DVD recorder, this is usually AUX channel. Post back if you need any more help
Do a search for thechatterbox.cc toolbar once you've found it, download it and click on the dropdown next to the key, you should be able to get them from there!
The Eurovox should be connected to your TV with the Virgin box tucked away in a cupboard somewhere!
A Eurovox is a cable receiver used instead of a Virgin or NTL box, usually to obtain access to unsubscribed channels.
What are you trying to do, perhaps I can assist with more information.
Good luck.
