Hi, i left Virgin about 6 months ago, and i own the V+ box. I have moved into a house with no virgin connected to the house, but have noticed on the back of the V+ box that there are 2 aerial ports, 1 for the Antenna/aerial, and one to connect to the tv, which i assume can be used for freeview.

I have connected the aerial lead from my rooftop, as if it was a freeview box, connected a scart from the box to the tv, pressed reset on the front of the box, but no channels come up, just the 'Virgin Media' sign! Does this box need to be connected to a Virgin Fiberoptic connection for this to work, or am i doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance
