OK ... thanks for the info guys

So, my digibox has a scart and a normal aerial output (it's one of the Pace boxes).

My PC is in the next room to my digibox, so the only option cabling-wise is to use a standard co-ax lead and drill a hooe thru the wall.

Simple question - what will I receive on my PC from that?

I gather I will get 1-4/5 which I can control with the software - will I get other channels, depending on what channel my digibox is on?

And - slightly wrong forum for this one - if I want more control of my TV, for recording etc, could I use one of the cheap 'desktop', portable TV style aerials in connection with a digital TV card with Freeview decoder built in to receive more channels than ntl will give me via software?
