Can I ask for two TV sockets?

I don't need a multiroom setup, but in winter we like to watch telly in the kitchen as our living room is a bit cold. If we got VM installed, could we ask for two sockets so we can move to box as the weather demands?

    I doubt they would approve of the idea of you moving the STB from one to the other.

    However, if your TV was in the kitchen, and broadband in the living room (for example) both operate off the same cables.

    Just use a splitter and run some cable to the other point and job done, and if you explain it to the installer they may run the cable for you (tea & biscuits are great bribery tools)

    Unless you get an additional V HD box installed then cancel after a month or so as there's never usually a contract and then you would have a socket in the kitchen although you may have to pay a one off installation fee.

    Ask the engineer when he's round he put a socket into one of our bedrooms before and we moved boxes about.

    So the cable that goes into digital box is also a broadband connection?

    I have the 'Superhub' in the living room, and the cable box in another room. Could I put a splitter on the cable box for a wired internet connection in that room? My wireless is atrocious!

    Yes, that is how mine is wired, 1 cable into living room, which goes into a splitter, then 2 cables come out of the splitter, 1 to my Tivo, the other to my Superhub.

    As they are F connectors, something like this will do - http://www.maplin.co.uk/2-way-f-splitter-29530

    Then 2 small cables with an f connector on each end.
