? Just run a coaxial cable directly from the cable box?.... and bypass the STB?... I thought the signal for all channels was digital though?...

We have the family pack and just want the option to occassionally watch TV in bed really... on top of this it would be handy to be able to record directly onto my PC (which is currently doubling up as my TV)... my PC can handle a TV/UHF input, SVHS or composite so that side of things should be fine.

Downstairs we have the main STB and this runs into a DVD recorder... the hassle here is that with a UHF input downstairs we have to record and watch.... maybe a freeview box would be handy....I think I'm more likely to keep this in the bedroom thouh which is the only room to have a UHF input from our loft aerial...because of the PC though the Freeview box would need to have a UHF, SVHS or composite video output.
