Hello,

I apologise if this is out of place or incorrect, but I'd like to know whether it is possible (will it work?) and allowed to take the output RF aerial that comes from my VCR (the NTL aerial goes into the VCR) at the moment and directly then goes to the TV and instead plug it into one of the aerial splitters so the aerial can go to the TV and to the TV card on my PC?

First of all, will it work? If so, is it acceptable or is there a problem with NTL (I tried to do some research by searching this forum but I'm not sure whether they were trying to do the same as me, or trying to split the direct cable connection)?

By the way, if it makes any difference, I'm still on analogue NTL cable TV.

Also, this should only be temporary for about 1 - 2 weeks as I am awaiting a card that will allow me to send the output back to the TV, so I will only need it going to the PC then.

Thanks a lot for the help
