hi, i've just moved into a rented house with no outdoor/roof aerial and i'm having great difficulty getting any sort of a signal on my tv. I've noticed however that there is ntl wiring in the house. I have no plans to subscribe to ntl or sky and don't really have any need for all the extra channels but i do have a freeview set top box. Basically i was wondering if i could still get a signal through the ntl wiring, i'm not trying to get free cable or anything and forgive me if this is still illegal but I just want a clean picture on terrestrial 1,2,3,4,5... if it could also power my freeview box for itv2 etc.. that would be an added bonus!!
The ntl wiring comes into a white box thats mounted on the wall, there are two in seperate rooms infact, the cables out though are not usual tv connectors though, otherwise i would have just given it a go... not even sure if this is analogue or digital?!?
any ideas if this is possible/legal and the more detailed method the better cos i really have no clue....
thank you.
