RE: NTL digibox help

Thanks for the advice, the NTL man came on Wednesday and put a box on the back of the digibox. He said new customers don`t have them as standard, you have to ask.(obviously lots do as he had a supply in his van.
Also said that when analogue goes in 2008 I will loose the channels again.

RE: NTL digibox help

My parents digibox only has the cable feed going into it (the aerial lead is not connected) and they have the cable channel on No 6 and also the standard terrestrial channels on 1-5 so they can watch other channels while recording from the cable channel. My TV and Recorder will only pick up the cable channel, no signal for anything else. which means if i am recording on BBC 1 I cant watch any other channel.

NTL digibox help

Hi all,
I have just connected an NTL digibox to my DVD recorder and into the TV but the only signal the recorder or the TV will pick up is the cable channel none of the terestrial channels register, on the old analogue ntl box we had channels 1-5 plus the NTL channel.
Am I doing something wrong ?

thanks for any advice

RE: Frank Sinatra 3 CD Platinum Box set - 99p

RE: Strange Google message

It was just a standard search, once I`d typed in the letters indicated, it went through.
Hasn`t done it since so it must have been a fault at Google
