I have a basic subscription with Virgin (not HD) and a stone age Pace cable box (ex-NTL). This box is so old it does not have any audio outputs (no rca phonos or toslink).
I know that because I connect the Pace box to my TV and DVD recorder via scart I can get then use the audio outputs from the TV and DVD recorder. However, I would prefer a direct digital toslink connection from my cable box to my Dacmagic for listening to radio.
People advertise Samsung V boxes and Virgin V / V+ on eBay (which I believe have toslink). Can I simply buy one of these and replace my ageing Pace box - or isn't it that simple?
