Not sure. In the newer boxes, VM are disabling the pass through.

dab will not be carried over any part of the VM network. The audi channels that are now broadcast are generally for the V boxes to decode so you'd be better off connecting your amp to the STB rather than trying to rely on FM over the old anaolgue which is all being phased out.

As long as you don't have an RF bypass fitted (small grey or black plastic box on the back of the V-box), it should work.

Stuart/Rob: I assume the OP has an aerial, and just wants to use the aerial combiner that's built onto the box, rather than trying to source the signals from the VM cable.

Yes that's right - I am using my aerial to feed through the V Box (which I hope to triplex UHF/FM/DAB and use this to feed other points in the house. (btw -OP?)
