The fact that you cannot get the digital FreeView channels through this cable means that this will be the Virgin Media cable.

Virgin Media used to deliver analogue channels as well as their digital channels but this is being phased out.

You will not get your digital Freeview channels, except through an external aerial.

Digital broadcasts are different dependent on the service.

Terrestrial FreeView is DVB-T and can only be received through an external aerial connection.

For interest the other types are DVB-C for cable and DVB-S for satellite.
