What is Virgin Media TV (Cable) and what is a good cable installation? Vivien.Stuart-Mossop 29 January 2019

Virgin Media TV (Cable) is a system which provides various channels, normally through a fibre-optic cable, to a cable television receiver, without using an aerial.

Cable is only available in some parts of the country, mainly cities.

Cable and connectors

A television signal will always lose some of its strength as it passes along the cable and through the connectors. Therefore, it is important to minimise the loss by using good quality cable and connectors. Check that none of the cables and connectors are damaged.

Connections

Check that the cable connections to and from your receiver and TV are secure as they may have come loose. If you have no picture, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI or SCART cable from the television to the cable box. It sounds odd, but often works!

Virgin Media TV provides TV and radio channels through a cable directly connected to the home and problems are rare. Virgin Media TV (Cable) service is often bundled with broadband internet access.

To get services, you need a cable television receiver and a subscription to a cable provider. Cable is available in many parts of the country, but mainly cities.

While problems with cable are rare, the following may help:

Cables

Check that all the cables are connected securely. If you still have no picture, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI or SCART cable from the TV to the cable receiver. It sounds odd, but often works!

Cable service

Is the receiver working?

Try switching off your cable TV receiver from the mains and then leave for 10 minutes. Turn on again and see if it then works.
