Cable Query

[Isomerizer]

Hi,

A while back Virgin Media supplied me with this cable in my room to use on the Virgin Media Box, I no longer have this box. I also know it can be used at the back of a modem, but i have one of them downstairs.

Can this cable be used for freeview / normal TV, to pick up a reception, I've put the cable next to the normal TV aerial slot and its picked up a slight reception. So i was curious, maybe this can..

This may be a dumb question, but I'm clueless when it comes down to this sort of stuff.

If this can be used as an aerial, what adapter will i need?

Current cable in my room:

you can't get freeview from bare cable - but i'm sure it carries std 5 analogue channels

So, basically i can only have BBC 1 & 2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5?

So if i wish to use this cable i can only use it for basic TV...

That will do, What adapter do i need?

i'm not sure of the adaptor but if you check out Maplins will have one to go from cable to TV

ppl need to realise that Freeview is DTT not cable or satellite & you cant use cable for Freeview like you cant use satellite for Freeview etc.
