well my old tv aerial cable runs into my loft, I have been trying to get freeview tv but cant get a signal so I thought I would plug the old tv coax cable staight into the freeview box. When I got up into the loft I found that my coax aerial cable ran to a splitter and the modem coax cable ran from the splitter which I reckon will reduce any signal that I could use for freeview tv. As you see I do not know anything about this stuff but I keep on trying to find out how things work. Thanks to anybody who takes time to answer.
