Hi,
This discussion extends back quite a while but is very relevant to me. I would like to be able to record one of the analogue channels and watch another digital channel. I had just assumed this was not possible without two digital STBs or an aerial feed. I don't have either, only the NTL cable...This would be a wonderful solution.....
There seems to be different views about
:
1) Whether you can defintiely get analogue TV over the NTL digital cable in all areas? In my case, NTL cable in London SW18, not sure if ex CWC etc?
2) Whether some boxes that are fitted with RF pass through actually block the analogue frequency from digital cable? I have a pace Di4000-N with RF loop through, I have tried to get analogue TV and can only get the Digital STB signal cleanly through the RF!
3) Assuming answer to 1) is yes for my area and my STB is the problem as detailed in 2), it appears I need a pass through kit or a spliiter kit as put forward using Qamtex VQ1002. Will this work as well as the official bypass kit, the add says as used by NTL, or are there differences regarding noise ingress signal loss etc?
Based on several previous experiences with NTL which I won't go into here, I don't fancy my chnaces of success with a request for a bypass kit! I would prefer to source directly or use the splitter kits if I can do this with the same results?
Hope there is still some help to hand to answer and clear a path to help solve this one for me.
Thanks
