I've just moved into a new flat and it doesn't have a working aerial socket but it does have all the ntl connections.

I've signed up for the ntl broadband service but i don't want a phone line or any tv other than the terrestial channels.

At first I was going try getting an adapter to plug the cable connection directly into the rf socket of the tv but a friend of mine had a spare set-top box so he gave me that so now I have the terrestial channels but with the benefit of a the tv guide.

Is there anything wrong with me doing any of this? Am I breaking any law or could I get into any sort of trouble for doing this?

thanks, i hope this is the right place for asking this sort of question
