I think I may already know the answer but wondered if someone could just confirm for me.

A long time ago when I was at uni we use to watch the basic TV channels by directly connecting a aerial to the 'then NTL' coax lead and tuning the TV in.

I have recently moved and in a bedroom we only have a Virgin feed available in the room - would I be able to have a Ariel to Coax cable and get 'some' channels out - or with the demise of analogue tele this is now impossible?

Any other options with using this feed (cheap as possible) or is the best bet to try a in-room aerial and see if i can pick up any freeview?
