    Hey guys,

    Just moved into apartment block in Dublin. Trying to get TV sorted out. There seems to be wires for TV but they haven't been set up.

    The wires have a white exterior, a copper coloured layer inside this, another white layer and finally a copper core.

    Would anyone if it's possible to get free view or saorview etc through these items or would I need to sign up to sky or another TV provider?

    Any advice appreciated!

    Probably wired for Virgin Media as they are called now.
    Go into Maplin and get a Male-Male (I'm 90% sure that's the one) lead to hook it up to the tv. You should be able to pick up the analog signal gratis. Picture quality will be sh1te but does the job for me.
