I lived in a communal flat situation with one TV aeriel providing Tv for 25 flats. was amazed when I plugged in my DTT box and found it worked spot on. Obviously it depends where you live as you may not get Freeview anyway but it is worth a try.

Many flats can only get analogue cable due to previous wiring when the fltas were built and will not be able have a digital service due to the internal wiring. This may be one reason why ntl is not wanting to turn off its analogue service because it knwos it will loose vast numbers of subscribers.

It is a surprise that you are unable to get a broadband connection however. Maybe you can get a broadband connection via ADSL?
