Cable Forum - View Single Post - Freeview possible connected to Virgin Cable?

Good morning,

I have just moved into a new property where it appears the previous tenants had a Virgin Media cable connection. In my previous flat, I had freeview (just plugged through my TV into a bog standard aerial socket).
I'm wondering if it is possible to buy a converter to attach a normal aerial cable onto the Virgin Media connector (which appears to be a screw in connection), or do you need a set top box to connect to this?
If so would an old sky box work to view just free view on?

Thanks for any help. I'm clueless.
