hi there ive posted a question already and i understand that by connecting a freeview box to the rf output on the ntl box i wont receive freeview channels! but i was just wondering will i receive clear pictures of the standard channels like bbc 1 and 2, itv, channel 4 and 5 through my freeview box if it is connected to the ntl box? i was just wondering coz ppl have sed that these channels are the only ones sent down the cable on a different signal! please can u tell me/help me out? i just want to know if i can receive the normal terrestial channels through the ntl box?

to break it down:

cable -> cable box (no aerial attached) -> freeview box -> tv

will i pick up channels 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 (will the aerial have to be connected to the cable box to receive these, or can it be done without an aerial attached)?
