Analogue pass-through
 

In the Langley region what is happening with the analogue pass-through. Is it true that on new set-top boxes there is now analogue pass-through, and you have to ask for an add on? What about future boxes like the Samsung or the Sagem??

I very much hope the analogue pass-through receives continued support as it is the only thing about ntl that I like, and what prevents me from going to Sky.

Thanks for any help.

ok so the analogue pass thru is so important that you stay with ntl for it , save some money and go for sky , far superior imho , i will get me nomex overalls now :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Correction: was meant to read "there is now NO analogue pass-through"

Also could just clarify that I am talking about the analogue pass-thru on digital boxes, to allow the tuning of channels 1 to 5 + qvc by the television.

Please help!!! Thanks!

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

Analogue pass thru is no longer supported by NTL .... although the cable still carries the analogue signal

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

Thank you.
But what about an add on to the stb to enable analogue pass thru? Does it exist? How much?
Thanks!!!

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

There are splitters available that are placed on the main cable before it gets to the STB. Not sure of the cost, but I have 1 or two spares ... PM me with details ...

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

I assume all the analogue pass-thus and splitters will become obsolete in a few years time when NTL turn of the analogue signal?

Not until at least 2010 tho'

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

As a new subscriber I've just received my NTL STB(PACE). I ran a standard RF cable from the 'TV' connection on the back of the box to a TV in my bedroom and I get all 5 analogue channels + the active cable channel. Surely then analogue pass-thru is still supported then and there is no need to split cables before they reach the STB.

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

Depends on area and box version .... my older Pace boxes had the passthru built in, but the newer boxes no longer have this feature.

Chances are you have been given a reconditioned box.

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

thats a stroke of luck then, because I dont have any external aerial feeds in my flat and cant get a picture from an internal aerial.

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

IIRC, ntl supply by pass filters for the newer pace boxes - just ask for one?

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

The Samsung has one, at least the one installed at mine (still not working though) has :)

Re: Analogue pass-through
 

im curious, what are these bypass filters and how and where do you fit them?
