Hi Guys,

Just wanted to give you an update. Well lastnight when i got home i disconnected the coax cable from my cable modem and attatched one of those screw on converters that turns it into a mail coax plug (again given to me by someone ages ago). I plugged it into the TV card on my pc which i have never used (it came with the pc but i never got round to running an aerial cable to it) and after working out how to auto-tune it off it went looking for channels. Well OMG!! not only can i pick up crystal clear 1-5 but i can also recieve E4, Discovery Channel, Sky News, BBC News 24, normal channel 4 and finally a channel that isnt broadcasting at the moment and just has like an NTL slide show on it. I just cant believe that i havent found out about this 4 years ago when the NTL service was installed but i bet its not something they like to advertise.

Its funny you should mention the port only being FM bob as that is what its labelled up as so i may have to ask my dads mate what i need to do about that but i'll give it a go anyway. Yes it ius a sad fact that analogue will eventually be turned off but i still dont see how that will be possible, what about all those car radios and old vintage tuners that people collect, i just dont see how it can be done. In any case i wont be having the aerial removed as that will only cost me money so it can stay where it is, at the moment my family just wouldnt pay for a freeview box and will probably hold off until they start to offer them free to those of us who havent changed to digital when they eventually want to switch of analogue.

All the best
Dan
