    Default NTL! Cable! Lost?

    Ok ive got NTLS phone and broadband service and presume it all comes through the same cable ....

    Now

    I want to basically have free NTL TV and have Broadband , would i need an NTL Engineer to add any CatV wiring?

    and ...

    What is the procedure for hacking NTL after reading Rizzo it says never to mod a subbed box? What is a subbed box! Subscription ..... if so doesnt this mean i would still have to pay for channels

    after a look on ebay i see some suitable boxes for the Davic! area (which i am)

    4001N or something it implied what it could be used for


    So basically i want to know

    How do i rig up the Cable tv , i have the boxed installed and have Broadband in the room i want the TV

    What boxes do i need to buy

    Do i need two Boxes! and if so doesnt this mean im gonna have to pay for channels anyway


    thanks

    NO. The 'feed' that goes to the back of yer box has to be split (2 way splitters available from maplins). One feed goes back into yer existing box and another will go into yer new box. IF u are subscribing to a tv package as well as bb then knock it down to the basic package and watch tv thru yer modded box. Good Luck.

    mmm £18 is ok anyway i suppose, i have tried lookin through links but most seem dead

    What sort of channel lineup would i get if i did hack it using a "Fun Card"

    And would there be anyway of having TV upstairs and downstairs or would this require lots money and work

    I already have the Phone and Internet on top of the cable so i shouldnt incure any extra costs with installation! Surely

    AC3 is a sound format mate LOL,a subed box is a rented box,a spliter is a device to split 1 wire into 2 /3/4 really unlimited but un nessary to have loads of them.you need a box that hac a unlocked rom card or else you will need your atmels reading,if you split your broadband wire were it comes into the house and use a spliter you can get a digi box to work on that feed.so you dont need to take out a min package on digi tv btu dont let that stop ya takeing out a sub with them mate...every little counts...we keep them from going bust we get the service for longer...everyone is happy
