I've just set up my new Advent T9317 with built in tv tuner. In Media i can get terrestial stations by plugging a portable tv aerial into the aerial input plug-in. In my front room i've got Cable from Telewest. Would i have to run a lead all round the house from the set top box? And then i wouldn't be able to watch a different channel than was on in the front room. My internet connection is via a Webroot external modem plugged into a USB. Whats going to be the easiest and cheapest way to get digital tv and be able to watch a channel independant of my present set top box?

If it is a new computer you SHOULD have a digital tuner installed, plug your aerial back in, and see if you can receive channel 5, if not, you will need an external Aeriel.
If they have stuck an analogue tuner in, TAKE IT BACK, you have been ripped off!

Have a chat to your PC Manufacturer or even better have a word with Cable (Telewest) Support.

the easiest way would have been to get a digital tv tuner then you could get it straight from the ariel,
but your just going to have to run a lead from your usual digital reciever and watch only the channel it is watching.

So, its already digital then

cable and sky use a different coaxial, if you hadn't noticed
