Hi,

I need "Help connecting Freeview & NTL Analogue to TV". I have the following devices:

LCD TV
Scientific Atlanta Cable Box
Yamada 6600 DVD Player
Playstation II
Gamecube
Pacific Freeview Box

Some of the channels provided through NTL Analogue don't display too well on the tv, they look faint and there is some visible ghosting. With this in mind, I thought I would introduce a Freeview box to clear things up. Today, everything but the Freeview box is connected.

I can now receive the channels BB1\BBC2\ITV1\Channel4\Channel5 through the TV tuner. In order to receive the Cable Channels, I tune to channel 6 on the TV. I would like to be able to tune to channel 7 and receive broadcasts from the Freeview box.

What would be the easiest way to connect both the NTL Analogue and Freeview box to the tv? As presently, I can only seem to have either NTL Analogue connected or Freeview.

If you are wondering; Why don't you just upgrade to digital? Well the answer is, that I don't know how strict NTL is going to be as regards broadband capping. If they strictly apply the cap. I'm leaving. So don't want to take on another 12 month contract.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.
