Can i just split my NTL cable and hook it strait into the back of my tv's then, as it happens i have a few NTL splitters which someone gave to me ages ago after they had cancelled their NTL service and had ripped out all the internal cabling because they were re-decorating. My dad knows someone who works for NTL so i could see if he would make me up some cables, so can i just plug it in the tv and tune in the channels - cool thats £10 saved, i'll give that a go tonight. Cheers. Actually just had another thought, the connection point for my broadband is right behind my TV which has a spare point thats blanked off so i ould just use that as the two tv's downstairs are fed though my skybox so we can have sky downstairs - job done!

Yes, try it out first to make sure it works.
You might find the second cable point could well be a FM port and that will have everything above FM frequency filtered out so may not work with TV. Try it with your cable modem cable if it does not work.
However, bear in mind that all analogue TV signals (including those on the NTL cable) will be turned off in under 7 years time so do not go throwing that aerial away just yet (Freeview will be available to everybody before then)!
