Free view through cable?

Hi,
If I cancel my base tv package with NTL will they want their decoder box back or can I keep it to watch the freeview channels through their cable?

(I still have an NTL phone line and will be keeping this).

Thanks,
Chris.

Thanks for the reply.

Ah well, looks like I'll have to buy myself a freeview box.

Re: Free view through cable?

If you had broadband with ntl and you wanted to cancell the base pack - they can simply remove the channels for you as the bb is via the stb - and you will pay line rental for the telephone - conversely the line rent for the telephone is included in the base pack as long as yo have the chanels
