These TVs with integrated Freeview. Will they receive Freeview when on
cable? I have never looked into this. |

The upgrade cycle for a STB is (currently) far shorter than a TV, in a few years time you'd have a relatively new TV with an obsolete "STB". I've owned both and speak from experience! R. |

If your TV's RF socket is plugged into the cable box, then you will not get Freeview. Only connecting the TV to an TV aerial will you get the Freeview digital signals. |

We get all our TV fed through cable here in Milton Keynes and you have to get an aerial put on the roof to get the Freeview channels. Which hardly seems worth the expense and effort to me. I get all the Freeview channels through my Sky+ connection. You can easily tell round here who's getting Freeview as they're the ones with an aerial, oh, and are normally over 50 and have some contrived political reason for not paying for Sky...when the truth is they're just too tight. |

cable? I have never looked into this. I might check next time I'm over my mother's house. She has NTL and certainly used to get analogue terrestrial baseband down the cable. No idea if they are now transmitting digital terrestrial signals as well, or have reallocated the bandwidth to digital cable or something. Christian. |

It will be re-multiplexed and modulated according to the DVB-C standard, which is quite different from DVB-T. AIUI "Freeview" only refers to the DVB-T (DTT) platform. -- Andy |

which is quite different from DVB-T. AIUI "Freeview" only refers to the DVB-T (DTT) platform. Obviously it won't pick up the cable digital signal. However, the NTL system, at least where we were, also rebroadcast analogue terrestrial signal on the standard UHF frequency. There is no reason that they couldn't do the same with the DVB-T signal. Whether they do or not is another matter. I wouldn't be surprised if they had dropped the baseband analogue signal yonks ago, let alone failed to rebroadcast the new digital multiplexes when they came online. Christian. |

It may carry a similar (but not identical) mix of channels, but it uses different technology and needs a different sort of decoder (set top box). So a digital TV which contains the equivalent of a Freeview STB won't be able to understand the signal from the satellite. I'm sure others will correct me if this is wrong! -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

Don't Sky have a one off deal to fit a dish that can receive Freeview better than an aerial? Milton Keynes have/did banned roof aerials, but (unsurprisingly) it's not enforced. There have been quite a few rulings from the early days which have since been broken like "no building should be higher then the highest tree". If you can somehow get a Sky satellite dish fitted along with a decoder then you can get all the Freeview channels without having to subscribe to Sky. Anyway, why on the one hand are you saying that there's "sweet FA" on Sky but yet you're trying hard to get the Freeview channels which are generally all a few leagues below sweet FA in quality? |

Well i've just totted up how many free channels you can get from Freeview and through Sky... Freeview - 41 Sky - 169 approx Baring in mind we're generally not talking quality TV and the emphasis is more on quantity of channels and you'll have to pay to setup both, so the Sky package looks a far better deal, especially if you're already a Sky subscriber and already have the kit and cancel your subscription. Personally, I think people that go to the expense and effort of paying to have an aerial put on their roofs just to get crappy Freeview channels might as well put a banner up there while they're at it saying "We're Too Tight Fisted Old and Cantankerous To Pay For Sky". /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
