I would severely warn against plugging a cable split from the back of your modem into a TV or anything like that because it can generate noise onto the line which will affect both your broadband service and for other NTL customers in the same area (as sollp said above).
Do you have a TV card in your PC? If so, get a cheap TV aerial from Argos or Wilkinsons for a few quid and use that... OR get a standard roof aerial fitted in your attic and use a freeview box then plug that into your TV card.

Yeh, but with a cheap aerial, you wouldn't have sky1, E4, paramount comedy, cartoon network and the many news channels.
I was just wondering though, is this all legal and ok? The thing is, I cant really afford to pay for tv, and I get bad ghosting from the aerial because of some large buildings near me. I extended my broadband line myself anyway, because NTL were gona charge £50, whereas I could buy all the equipment myself for £20, and it's all running fine. So i was thinking about splitting the connection where there is already a joint. Think that would affect my connection?
