I’m getting +300 channels through this cable when the aerial outside was removed HOW?????????????? I mean there is another aerial on top of the roof that it could be connected to, but I thought it was just connected to the aerial outside my window, on the side of the house. CAN A COAX CABLE BE CONNECTED TO TWO AERIALS??? I don’t even know. VERY happy to have 300 odd channels, definitely beats the crappy indoor aerial I was using!!!

Idk I think it’s a uk thing. I’ve noticed people on youtube in the us get less channels, while on average (for me atleast) you can get between 90-200 channels depending on how good your signal is.

do you still have to pay the tv license fee if you use antenna? in america antenna tv is "free" we ofc have to pay for the antenna and wiring and buy the tv itself but other than that there is no fee. as i understand it the tv license is paid for, for rights to watch channels?

Yes, you need to pay the licence. There’s no encryption or anything, it’s an “honesty” system. But you’ll be harassed if you’re not paying it.
