What is this? Photos attached

It looks like some sort of signal booster, they are common in areas where tv aerial signal isnt great.

 

Apparently isolators are used for cable TV so I do not think you will be able to do anything without a box and a subscription.
Just house holder and I know it is not Sky satellite or Freeview via aerial so must be Cable.

 

Was for virgin.

 

Internal virgin point

 

Or use the internet for TV, then you can ditch the loony left TV tax.

 

Whatever its was for its appears to be fitted the wrong way around if the cable is the input.

 

You can watch live tv via internet if you pay for a licence but everything live is on catchup within the hour.

 

To get Freeview you need a normal TV aerial on the roof.
Most modern TV's have a Freeview tuner built in them.
If you want to record and playback you need a hard drive Freeview Box

 

You need a licence to watch I player or any mainstream TV whether live or on catchup.

Or loft.

 

Id do some checks on your area reception before you do anything with regards to TV.
The cable in the picture might be of use if its virgin and you get the internet off them.
Loft Aerial's work fine in good signal areas but can need a signal booster in others.
I'd be using a wide beam aerial what ever way you go.

 

Not yet you don't and iplayer isn't the entire internet, its just a bit of communist drivel no-one needs.

Also that law only applies to iplayer, not ITV or C4 etc, or Netflix etc.

Looks like internal TV distribution.

Kind regards

 

Our TV aerials are hung off string in the loft and works fine but we are on the top of a hill.

 

We have roof aerial for main TV's, and as chippie, one hung in the loft for kids bedroom TV's.

Where does the black cable outside go to ?
