standerd virgin box straight swap for HD?
Hi all.
I currently have standard virgin tv package and was thinking of getting their HD box.
Instead of upgrading through them and paying a fortune I was wandering if I could buy a HD box second hand and fit it to the current wiring?
Has anyone done this?
Would it work?
Thanks

The service code on your account would not match that of a V+ box.
Although the services are provisioned to your card ! .. you would need to pair the card to the box ..
If this is not done you would get error 2110.. then you would only get channels 1-5 ..
As I understand it .. I'm not a DTV person though.. I'm networks and BBI.

We did exactly the same with Sky.
We had a Sky+ box and I bought a HD box from an independent retailer.
One phone call to Sky and they activated the box.
Easy.
