Have NTL, want BBC interactive!

We're currently with NTL's cable service, but I'd like to add BBC interactive to this mix, with the whole "power of the red button" thing. Is there any way I can do this... I know it's available as freeview... but having cable means we're not hooked up to the aerial...

Anyone got any ideas? Pref not too tecchie Thank you!

Press the red button on any BBC channel. Providing you are on NTL's digital service, you should get it..

You have to upgrade to the digital service. All Interactive services rely on software that is built into the Digital set top boxes.
