Ger,
You should be able to add an external antenna to your new radio
but don't expect 'perfect' reception of other than local stations. I'm
afraid reception would never be as good as on the 'cable', but that
doesn't mean it won't/can't be pretty good. A 'closed circuit' system
like the cable will always be 'better' than broadcast reception.

Thanks Doc, but don't you miss my point?
I *don't* want to use an external antenna - I want to use the co-ax cable
input.
There are channels on the cable which I can never receive with an external
aerial.
