Hi,
I have just moved into a new flat and it has no TV antenna or any cabling to receive tv through an aerial. I'm not much into TV these days but it would be nice to watch the odd thing now and again.
Virgin Media provide me with an Internet service, and I do somewhere (im still half in boxes) have a 3rd party cable box, and was wondering if I cou;d plug this in to get just the freeview channels??? I assume this can be done as when i left virgin TV years ago at my old house I kept getting the free channels (might have been NTL at the time actually). I'd rather not pay out to get an aerial installed ect or pay for TV thru Virgin as I only watch once in a while but if this is ok then it will be worth the TV licence fee
.
I had a brief look at my wires coming in from virgin, and I only have 1 wire, with a little box on it and then another wire coming out of it that go's to my router. Im sure when I paid for VM a few years ago I had 2 cables coming out 1 for TV and 1 for internet??
So anyway I just wanted to check im not doing anything wrong before I set it up, and looking for advice on how I could connect the old TV box up to get the freeview channels??? Is there some kind of adapter I would need to get it done???
Best Regards and thankyou for reading
