Hi all,
Anybody know if it's possible to convert or get an adapter to allow a virgin TV coax cable to fit a Now TV Box?
Thanks
Yes. The cable can be converted using an F plug/coax adapter. Google "f plug to coax socket plug". Stick a cheap aerial on the other end to get the freeview channels. Works well as the Virgin cable is shielded and better than standard coax. Used it to replace my V+ box.

It is not unreasonable to think that Freeview channels might be available streamed over the internet.

So we had no other option than to spend £150 to have a Freeview aeriel put up.
@Anonymous User They are (mostly). On TV Player. On Amazon Fire stick. That option would have cost less than £40. As good as Now TV is it is not the solution in this case.

£150 for a free view aeriel, what a rip off they put them up for £50 round here.

Someone quoted me over £400 for one (I live in a 2 up 2 down). Instead I got a £10 indoor setbox aerial and used the old virgin coax cable that terminated in the eaves of the roof. Works perfectly and I am about 10 miles from Crystal Palace with a pile of high rises in the way. Lot cheaper than the £7/month virgin had me paying for a second box. And it is superior to the old roof aerial that needs a signal boost to get the HD channels (the reason I considered the change)
