i would like to know if what i am doing is a waste of time. can i get freeview channels with this box without subscribing to ntl?


thanks

to the forum.

Unless you are willing to pay a subscription, you won't get anything from the NTL box, I am afraid.

The best way to get freeview (assuming you are in a good reception area) is to go down to your local electrical shop and buy a freeview box (you can get them from about £20 up now).
