Thanks Chris...

No - my only reason isn't the reception! I realise the base pack is basic, but I will probably upgrade it once I'm abit more flush..

The Aerial option is apossibility, but I live in a tenement and by the time I pay for high access installation and all the aerials etc I'm going to be looking at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100 - ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£150 squid, so that's nearly a year of the base pack and line rental anyway...

When you say it might be possible...

What do I have to do to run my other tv's from the ntl socket? Do I need special equipment/splitters etc or can I just plug straight in and go for it?

I don't fancy the split from the box idea as I only want it if I can watch other channels from whats going on in the living room.

My confusion comes from seeing someone talking about getting 1-5 straight from the socket, yet NTL telling me it wouldn't be possible. Although I'm sure it might not be desirable from their point of view, I thought it must be possible...

Thanks again,

J.
