Just a quick query here.

I have thought a couple of times about getting a freeview box in addition to the NTL Digital service, and I've thought about getting my mum one for christmas.

Now although we are both in OK areas, I don't use the ariel, and I'm not sure about my mum's - the picture on analog isn't great.....

Now I don't use the ariel on the roof, as I take the RF out of the back of the NTL STB, which I know also carries the RF channel -s.

My questions are these - firstly, does the RF output on the STB carry the DTT signals, and secondly, if it does, My mum used to have analog Cable, and still has the cable socket on the wall - would this still carry the RF signals, and I know it's a different connector (f-Type?) but can that somehow be hooked up instead of the ariel?

TIA
