Cable Forum - View Single Post - General Using existing coaxial for Freeview

Hi all,

Long time no speak however just wondered if you could point me in the right direction please.

I've recently cancelled the TV package as most of the stuff we have been watching is on either Freeview, Netflix or Amazon and so therefore thought it was an unnecessary additional cost and as I have an Xbox One, I've now ordered the TV tuner to keep things as simple as possible.

The TiVo box was connected via a splitter in the living room and there was the old V+ box upstairs that was connected via the same splitter through ceiling.
Unfortunately we no longer have any aerial leads connected to the living room, but do have one connected from the roof aerial to the upstairs TV.

I was wondering whether the upstairs TV aerial lead can be split with a splitter and then inserted into the TV tuner downstairs with connectors?
I presume the coaxial cables would support the TV signals with the correct connectors?

If so, what would I need to purchase as I want to do this as low cost as possible?
