You'll need to ensure your MCE system has an analogue (PAL) tv tuner card,
not a dvb-t. If you let us know your card model and freeview box model this
will help.

You can connect the freeview box to the system either from the coax out (if
this is a coax out - it's more likely to be a coax in, I guess, being a
freeview box, in which case, plug your roof aeriel into this socket) to the
coax in on your tuner card, or from the Scart to the S-Video in on your tuner
card, using a Scart to S-Video cable.

Cheers
Terry
