Guest destinationoz Posted July 10, 2011 Sorry this may be a daft question but will our Virgin V+ Set top Box work in Oz even if it's only too pause live TV etc .... I'm guessing this is a long shot!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt it would because you need a decoder card in it to work and it wont be set to work with the oz signals......you would get/buy a decoder when you sign a contract for a tv service in oz.......in any case isnt the virgin v+ box on hire from them and so still belongs to them ??????????...................

Funnily enough - I knew someone would say that!!! The V box belongs to us - we used to hire it from Virgin for £5 a month then found out we could buy it outright for £50 or £75 .... Much cheaper in the long run (this was a few years ago) so we now own it! Guess we can't just put a decoder /card in it then?.... Thanks anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly what I said to them after we had paying monthly and then found this out! Typical Virgin - money grabbing!!!! No wonder the main man owns a bloomin island!!
