Thanks for the post, I couldn't see the options you specified (assuming you were referring to the PACE box) because of the below.

**Its the 20th, and Telewest came to install my digital tv. My Dad had to supervise the install as I couldn't get time off work. Turns out they've given me a Scientific Atlanta 4200DVB STB I must say in my opinion it is rubbish. The specifications for this box on the SA website show far more interconnects than what is on the STB provided by Telewest - which is a MUCH watered down version. MOST importantly SA Website show a Terrestrial Aerial in, but not on the Telewest box - nightmare! Anyway I rang them a few times after getting cut off by some fool who tried to get me to plug the cable from the wall box into my TV (go figure) I asked for the PACE box (which i confirmed with the operator had the required aerial in), and after quite a bit of complaining they are coming to swap it on the 25th July (they had quoted me the 8th of aug!) **

Apologies for length and for being off topic I thought this would be pertent to "splitting cable tv around the home" you need the correct STB for after all!

I'll post again after the 25th.
