RE: NTL Digital Box query.
Don`t know if you got an answer but I didn`t see what you need to know on the first page.
YES what you want IS POSSIBLE. You don`t need an aerial necesarily - you need NTL to put in another little box...
I had exactly the same problem when I recently got digital on NTL. What needs to happen is this...
On the wire that comes in from the outside is a little silver box with one input (from the outside) and two outputs. For me one of these goes to the digibox, and the other goes to my cable modem. The one that goes to the digibox needs to have ANOTHER little silver box on it which splits the signal again - one to the digibox and the other to the Coax input on the video. Or now I have put this connector on the Coax input on the digibox, then the Coax out from the digibox to the input on my video. Now I can tune my vid from 1 to 5 terrestrial AND have the digital as channel 9 so I can tape anything I want!
With this in place I now have full digital, plus all the analogue channels tuned in from 1 to 5 on the telly and video. I can watch any terrestrial channel I like and tape any other - and I can tape any digital channel while watching any terrestrial.
BTW I have also split the outbound coax signal from the digibox to a signal ampilifier and run another tv off it which gets all the terrestrials and a copy of whatever the digibox is showing! Result!
