Hello


OK, here is the issue...I have a Virgin line coming into the flat, apparently. I do not want to go with Virgin, I want to buy a Freeview box. Can I use the line already coming in to the flat to connect the Freeview box to the TV?


I am so confused! It does not seem to be a standard TV ariel!


Can anyone help!

Agreed - a set-top aerial will suffice as long as it is near a window and as far away from electrical interference as poss. (use an extension to acheive this if necessary); and if you're not on a bus route and have no moped/scooters frequently whizzing by your place it should be cushty.

Some of the newer set-top ariels are pretty good. Back in the day I spent a few bob on many a rubbish one


But if you plan to be there for at least a couple of years I would have an aeriel installed properly


OR


Depending on your viewing habits, you might have a PS3 or an xbox 360


with PS3 you can use the BBC/ITV/C4 players over broadband, and xbox lets you stream new films and watch sky (if you have access to a sky login account)


all without an aerial

If you get Virgin telephone and broadband they throw in TV service for free.

WE just use a freestanding aerial with our freeviews, and they're fine about 95% of the time. The other 5% I have to hold it whilst standing in a weird position while missus mockers tortures me with the repeat edition of Eastenders.

    • Happy to recommend Leon. He supplied and fitted a new bathroom extractor for me. Very quick to quote, fair price, scheduled the work quickly, good communications regarding arrival time on the day, did the job efficiently, and was pleasant to deal with throughout. 
    • It's been suggested that he may be on drugs because some like ecstasy makes one thirsty. Was that why he stole the bottle of water? But what is strange is that he went in via the front door and reached in towards the rear. He then tilted the rear seat backrests forward so that he could reach right into the back. He did this rather than open a rear or the rear hatch. Go figure! It's my wife's car and she says she always, I RPT,  always locks it. Incidentally, our neighbour no longer locks his car because he has had a side window smashed twice now because of thieves breaking in.
