Hi there,

I've just got a new TV for a room that used to have TC cable TV (with digital STB). We've since gotten rid of the STB but I'm wondering if I can use the cable to get FTA channels on the TV.

The thing is I've tried, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I've plugged the cable directly into the TV (it once went to a splitter, then to a modem for STB and the STB itself) and started the tuning (digital and analogue from what I can tell) but it finished with no channels.

I don't know if the analogue switch off if that would've effected the FTA channels on the cable, I assume not as VF would have their own source coming over the cable.

Does anyone know if (providing it's connected at the box outside the house) I should still be able to do this? And if I manage to, are there any issues (I've read about certain things that lead to degrading the local signal quality.....injecting noise and interference etc...?

Cheers,

Nick
