as far as I know the freeview box is expecting a digital signal on its RF input - nothing coming down an NTL cable is compatible with that. You cannot use an NTL cable as a substitute for a freeview compatible aerial, in other words.
- you may get a few channels by plugging the NTL cable directly into your TV, but only if it is physically connected in the street cabinet, and there have been many debates about whether this is 'stealing service, or not. I am not going to go there...
