The phone also starts life in the NTL box on the outside wall - it's just routed along the outside of the building before coming in through the office wall.

Yeah, but I'd already explained that poor quality cable shouldn't be used and mentioned the type of cable that would be suitable. You appeared to be suggesting that something untoward would happen if using this cable as opposed to Virgin's. The single line in to the splitter came through the wall in to the living room from the NTL box on the outside wall. For the main living room I've actually placed four coax there: two for the sat TV, one for the return and the other to connect to Virgin in feed from the street (again, relying on me eventually shifting the box into the loft/hub).

Plug the other ends of the output cables into your devices. Some devices may not possess coaxial inputs but instead only use HDMI and USB, which you may need to convert as appropriate. Step 4: Turn on the TV or Device

You may be able to find cheaper retailers, but beware of imitators. A lot of the cheaper stuff isn't as advertised and may not be WF100. However, this seems like a great service, and it is. The cables are likely to be clipped to skirting boards, and even if the colour is close, they can still be unsightly. Does Virgin multiroom need cables? The main concern is potential signal loss due to setting up a splitter between the source and the receiving devices, but in the majority of installations this is of little concern.No, any cables within the house can be touched as much as the householder wants to touch them. Are Virgin Media paying you to store their cables in your house? The deal is that you use their cables as opposed to using your own and has nothing at all to do with any legal rights Virgin have to prevent you from touching their equipment while on your property.
