New TV Setup advice
 
Hi guys I am purchacing my new tv this weekend and wasnt to set it up to my V+ via HDMI. Nintendo WII Via Componant. And DVD Via Scart.
The only problem is my airel socket for my terestrial signal is the other side of the room and I don't want to drag a cable accross from that to the tv.
Indoor ariels do not work, so my question is there something I can get which will enable me to connect the tv to terestriel so I can use the built in freeview on the tv.
Is there a wat of splitting the VM cable so that can go into the V+ box and into the back of the tele?

Thanks guys.

Oh this is the tv I am Getting:- http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...ory_oid=-30633

As far as I'm aware VM don't send the analogue signal down the cable in all areas anymore - perhaps if you let us know where you are someone will be able to confirm.

If this is the case then the only way to take advantage of the freeview built in would be to run a cable across the floor....

Even if you did connect up the VM cable

a. You would not get Freeview, only a few unencrypted ANALOGUE channels
b. Your cable might not even be connected at the cabinet EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice you said you had a V+ box, but A+C still stand
c. Your connections if not tight (and even then...) could cause ingress of noise onto the network causing problems for your neighbours (and if they traced it back to you - which is possible - they would just unplug your cable and maybe send you an invoice)

Theres no way round it you will have to get a cable from your aerial point to the tv .VM do not transmit freeview signals on the network .:)
