What he means is that the box (STB) only supplies Digital TV as an output. The boxes used to allow "passthru" which meant that there was an aeriel socket on the back of the STB that you could feed other televisions with an analogue signal.

The Main NTL cable that comes into your house terminates on a silver box generally hidden behind a platic cover on the wall. That cable carries both Digital and Analogue TV.

What needs to be done, is the signal leading to that silver box, either before or after, needs to be split. Once split, the signal can carry on it'snormal path to your STB, and a second cable would carry the analogue signal to wherever you wanted it.
