Re: Remove need for aerial
As far as I understand from the forums, they don't offer an external bypass unless replacing a box that had bypass.

Neither can you purchase the official bypass unit yourself - so an awful lot of people cobble together a solution with a MAPLIN F-type splitter and an F-F and F-TV cable.

So the TV gets signals it doesnt want from the cable, and crap from the TV can go back down the cable - a normal splitter has no isolation beyond its inherent loss.

It would be far better if they offered this as an option to purchase, or even as an extra £1 a month rental option (preferably free after cost covered).
