Palindrome
Newbie
There probably isn't an answer to this question I'm going to like, but I can only ask...and see where we go with it.
I moved into a new place that has VM Cable. However I didnt' really want any of VM's crappy packaged deals so I've not ordered anything. There are cables and stuff coming into the property, but I can't tell if any of them are active.
I've tried hooking one up to the DVB-C combo tuner on my Xtrend ET10k and sticking in the relevant settings, but a scan instantly returns with Zero channels found. I expect this means the coax coming in isn't live, disconnected somewhere, but it could just be that I've got the tuner settings wrong.
Is there a way to test if the feed coming in is live somehow, and secondly, is there any way you can surreptitiously reconnect it (perhaps outside the house or something) without being a VM engineer and going to a cabinet?
Basically, unless I order either CableTV or Cable Internet, am I screwed, or is there another way?
