Is it possible to buy the white cable leads for a Virgin Media box?

Question

I need a longer connection cable, I've moved my VirginMedia box to another place in my living room and now the cable doesn't reach. I phoned Virgin customer services and was told I could only get the leads and connection cables directly from Virgin and I would have to pay a £75 installation charge.

Obviously I'm not going to pay them £75 just to move my box a few inches, so I was wondering does anywhere sell the connection leads and cables so I could just do it myself?

Answer 1

They use basic cables that could be purchased from a hardware store.

Maybe go to B&Q or Homebase and just ask them for some of this cable.

You will need to have the connectors put on the ends and this uses a simple tool which electricians should have. They could probably put this on the ends for you.

Answer 2

£75...........!!!!! if your near uxbridge or st albans i'll give the cable you need if not B&Q will have it
