Square eyes - do you know if the port on the wall was for a digital or analogue box?

I'm afraid I don't know the specific technical side of this works, but I did think that generally even if a cable service is disconnected, an analogue version of the base terrestrial channels carries on...

Can anyone clarify?
If the spare cable is still connected it will carry both analogue and digital signals. The analogue signals which are not encrypted can be viewed on any TV that covers the range of frequencies that they are broadcast in. Strictly speaking you should not connect anything to this spare cable as it is against NTLs terms and conditions and can have a detrimental affect on the service of other customers.
