If you want DTT (marketing name freeview) you will need a receive like one of these in argos
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse...ip%3D36797.htm then a aerial on a dtt transmitter, the pace receive you have is for a cable network and belongs to ntl if you install it in you house on a cable like that cable receiver can be tracked back to you house via the mac address in it,

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
