Mmm, not quite sure if I follow all that
The DVB-C (digital cable) signal is decoded by the STB and is then transmitted through the RF output connector in a format that is identical to a plain old analogue terrestrial system. It doesn't generate a DVB-T (digital terrestrial) signal.
If you want to add this then you'll
have to put up a terrestrial aerial and feed the signal into the RF input connector. The STB will combine the two before sending them to the RF output.
However, the television at the receiving end will have to understand both analogue and terrestial digital - and I'm not sure that most systems will do this.
PS. I volunteer to edit the acronyms page on ntli.info
