Obviously, state the obvious (lol) He just needs to speak to the caretaker or even his neighbour to see about getting his channels through. As far as i'm aware MATV works from one source, not all boxes leading to the cab. The council pay good old ntl to provide the cust with terrestrial channels. AFAIK

ALL CABLES LEAD TO A DISTRIBUTON POINT AND IT IS THERE THAT THEY ARE MANUALLY DISC AND I DONT KNOW OF ANY COUNCIL THAT PAY NTL FOR A TERRESTRIAL SERVICE IN FACT I BELIEVE NTL PAY THE COUNCILS FOR THE RIGHT TO PUT THEIR CABLES INTO FLATS ETC SOME COUNCIL FLATS IN MY AREA ARE ONLY ALLOWED SKY AS THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF DISTRIBUTION

I know all about DP's. Turn off your caps lock we ain't deaf lol. I'm just going on what I've heard about MATV services. As I said in my initial post about it, I've came accross it very few times so I could be wrong. Also, it would not come from the council direct, the customers would pay the council a small fee.

As i say, I may be wrong!

Bascombe, what area are you in?

EBO48 · 13-02-2005, 20:37

Sorry re caps lock

Bascombe · 13-02-2005, 21:30

Glasgow. Guess I'll maybe make some enquiries with either the housing association or ntl. May be a dumb question, but would my currently getting ntl broadband have any impact on this?

And thanks for everyones help so far!

If you are on bb splice the cable and run it straight to your tv you should then be able to tune 1-5

This of course will be part of ntls book of naughty things to do. So don't do this unless you want a callout charge if you make things worse.

Why is it that the engineer when first putting in my cable, left extra cable with a fitting to attack it to the aerial socket on the tv?

This is simply so you can still view the terrestrial channels on your "normal TV" and also some issues occour with regards to teletext. It's just so you can still have access to your "normal" V services if the box if turned off or FUBAR

Paul

Bascombe · 15-02-2005, 09:14

Does this mean that you can connect the TV directly to the cable socket on the wall? Alternatively, can you pass it through the cable box without having the cable box switched on/plugged in, and still get the basic channels?

And FUBAR has to be one of the best acronyms in the world.

CHeers,

Bascombe

Yes, what i was trying to get across is if ntl didn't want you connection the cable straight to your tv then they wouldn't do just that ^ :s
