Virgin comes through co-ax from the street. It's most certainly not fibre to your house (even though their advertising may make you think otherwise ).

Sky comes through co-ax from the dish/LNB.


Neither of which have anything to do with terrestrial antennas or signal boosters.

As above. No aerials are involved with either Sky or Virgin. Sky comes from a satellite dish, and Virgin TV comes from "cable" from below ground....

an aerial wont help, but if you make yourself a tin foil hat. put that on and stand next to the TV and do star jumps you'll get a better picture
