You've wasted £4.59p straight away then - worst splitters ever and really poor cables... my cable receiver faq in my sig below actually warns you not to purchase this Electrosmart cheapo type of splitters and those cables :(

what I'm saying is that your VM cable is live now.
Yes £27 a month is better than £36.50, given that it's a smaller amount :: but you said:
''I will set it up and Imagine I get signal and that ordering vm broadband was a waste.''
If you were ordering VM BB just to get a live feed it would indeed be a waste of time because it's live now.
The only good thing in that kit you can use is the F to RF adapter.
This is the splitter you should buy > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Technetix...748071?hash=item4b226762e7:g:2WQAAOSwcgNZFI6m
Or a member is selling them on here > http://www.techkings.org/threads/technetix-tratec-2-way-and-3-way-splitters.130700/
Cables - order as many as you need but order the smallest lenghts needed to do the job as longer unnecessary cable runs can reduce signal...

Will 2 meters be enough for the cables.The zgemma box will be right next to the socker.
Also I need a 2 way splitter, not a 3 way.
Only you know how long the cables need to be as you know how far apart the equipment is from each other.
The eBay link for the splitter is a 2 way (it does actually say 2 way on it also) and simba is selling both 2 and 3 way ones.
not if you are only having broadband.
if you were having TV too they would
what type of splitter is it?
if it's a virgin media installed splitter, the chances are it's still good...and for the 53rd time, you do have a signal!
Kryptviews drop connections every ten seconds, this is just how they are!
in this case, it's highly likely there's either a break in the cable, either inside or outside the house, or there's a connection in brown or white box (brown outside, white inside) which is loose or degraded somehow.
this will need rectifying before you get a decent signal to your new box. VM will just send you a superhub through the post for your new BB, as they'll have it on record that you are already cabled up.
if the connection is still bad, you may need to book an engineer visit but you can't do this until you get your superhub delivered
they didn't install mine, it arrived by courier.
you don't need to say anything to him, if he installs the superhub etc he'll ensure all the signals/cables etc are correct and everything will be up and running!
yes, he'll test everything ::
when he leaves, the signal will be as near to perfect as it's ever likely to be
