Re: VBox Freeview Question
Okay. So you plug in your arial to recieve the channels, but to get the Braodband, you need a phoneline?
Sorry, I thought it was a little like that BT Vision, and the TV Channels were sent to the box via the phoneline.
Wierd, how you can still recieve Sky Sports News etc on the Vorgon Freeview...

Yes in the summer, apparently, but that is included in the Investigation into the Pay TV Industry, so they might be staying on FreeView.

Nope, it's just a Freeview box. Uses an aerial.
As for broadband...Yep, broadband in a non-cable area requires a BT landline.
BT Vision is a bit of both... Freeview PVR with Video on Demand (VoD) content via IPTV.
