Need some advice on purchasing a second NTL cable TV box. Have seen a variety of units available on Ebay, nearly all with no come back if compatibility problems. I house share in Cardiff, have a second unused outlet on the cable wall box, want to connect to an analogue TV. Is there a make/model of box that is safe to buy secondhand ? What do I need to check on the existing box or contract to find out what is compatible. Is a card required to go with the box ? If there is an earlier forum item that answers this please point me to it.
