we just looked at a house that we might be moving to and on the VM site and phoning them th dont know if we can get their services but the housing company say it can get the servicces i dont know what to do also its a new build so they havnt got the postcode on VM's database its in s2 there was 3 connections an aerial one, one that said sattelite and another dont know what it was but someone told me it was freesat or freeview but i thought that was the normal aerial HELP!!!!!!

If it's a new build, it probably wont have VM cable, I'm pretty sure they haven't laid any cable since the 90s. Some parts of S2 have it, but it's quite a big postcode.

do you know if they ever develop there cable areas so the might have it at some point and do you know what the 3 tv point thing is thanks

They haven't laid any new cables since the mid 90s, there are no plans to lay any new cables, it costs too much, I think they're still in debt from the original installs. Your only chance is if you're in a new build on a road that already had cable. If you've got cable, you'll be able to see the mark on the path outside where they put the cable & you should see a small triangular grate (think they're marked 'CATV') in front of each house.

The connection for cable doesn't look like a normal aerial socket, they're screw on fixings, like for sky digital. They come out of a small box on the wall that will be marked with the name of the cable company. It's likely at least one of your phone sockets would be marked with a cable company name too.

It is available in S2.. I have it.. But it depends where. Like anywebsite states a new build might not have it. if it's the new parklands estate then it won't have. I lived there when it was mainly fields. No cable ever laid. Which area or read is near?

its guildford avenue i cant see one of those grates outside my house either and i couldnt see se grey/brown box on the side of the new house its just that 3rd connection thats confusing me

If there are no boxes on the wall inside marked Virgin Media and there is no black plastic CATV triangle or no long stretches of new asphalt in the path then its safe to say there is no cable in that area.
The third connection you saw would not be Freesat or Freeview because they use standard aerial and coaxial satellite connections (the other ones you saw). If it looks like a normal aerial socket then its probably just an FM radio aerial connection.

thats what i thought about freesat and the 3rd one didnt look like an fm radio one but not sure trying to get virgin n th estate agent to find out there telling me different things need to know because if they dont have it ill have to pay the 12 months bill

if the house has a sky dish get freesat/freesat HD which is the ocst of the box and that's it.. No monthly bills.

Just do what I said. Have a look and see if there is any of the things I mentioned outside the property. If not then there is no cable there.
