Hi
I have an unused cable connection that was only used for internet in NTL days, I connected this cable to a TV, tuned it in and got the following channels.
On UHF band 1
UKTV History
ITV2
VH1
Hallmark
On UHF band 3
Hallmark
Cartoon network
Sky sports 2
E4
BBC News 24
Virgin 1
Disney Cinemagic
Nick
CNN
QVC
On UHF Band U
QVC
MATV
Five
Channel 4
ITV 1
BBC2
BBC1
I have a couple of questions and would be grateful if someone could answer me as I know nothing about cable, I've always been a satellite man.
1/ I assume these are analogue transmissions, do virgin plan to stop them soon as part of the digital switch over?
2/ If I connected a digital cable box would I get anything without a subscription?
3/ I know you can split the signal from the cable to another box but is ther a limit to how many times you can do this before loosing signal quality?
4/ Regarding the above, would a normal signal booster/distributor solve this problem?
