RTE over UPC

Knasher · 2011-09-15 19:56:12

Just a quick question. The apartment I live in is wired for UPC but not for normal TV reception, I'm not a huge fan of RTE so I have never bothered wiring it in, but as I recently got a letter reminding me to pay my licence, I figure I may as well get my moneys worth.

Thanks.
