Thanks Keith.
I thought that I have no chance, but I'll try to borrow STB from someone
and
give it a try. I am pretty high on the 4th floor, if that means
anything.
Cheers,
Nik

  Hi Nik

  That doesnt sound like a "true" cable feed.

  It sounds more like a bog standard SMATV system (Satellite Master
Antenna
  TeleVision)

  The "extra" channels you are getting are all free to air
satellite
channels
  so my guess is that there is a single TV aerial on the roof and
a
satellite
  dish feeding a bank of satellite receivers which are in the RF
loopthrough.

  Because the FreeView Digital channels actually use the Taboo
channels that
  are rendered useless by the 5 terrestrial ones they would find
it
extremely
  difficult and expensive to actually block them. I bet the digital
signals
  are getting through OK.

  I think you will find that if you can borrow a box it will work fine
:-)

  Keith,
  My only feed is from a cable supplier (Sentryscan). I'm living in a
block
of
  buildings managed by managing agency and acording to our
leasehold
agreement
  we are not allowed to put any aerials or dishes and that's why they
supply
  the signal through the cable (and we pay for it through service
charge).
We
  don't have settop boxes, chanels are already modulated in the 75
Ohm
  coaxial.
  We are getting these channels:
  23    ITV
  26    BBC1
  30    CH4
  33    BBC2
  37    CH5
  50    TCM (Turner Classic Movies)
  52    BBC Choice
  54    Sky News
  56    CNN
  58    Al Jazeera
  69    CCTV (Chinese Channel)

  So it seems like mix of communal terrestrial with some extra
channels
added
  in. I can try to tune to those, but I reckon, that they filtered
out
  everything except their channels, to avoid interference.
  I'll try tonight.

  Cheers,
  Nik

    Hi Nik,

    Is your only TV feed from a cable supplier or is there a
communal
    terrestrial aerial feed as well. ?

    What UHF channels numbers do you receive the 5
terrestrial channels
    on ?

    If its

    BBC1 26
    BBC2 33
    ITV 23
    CH4 30
    CH5 37

    then they are coming from the terrestrial channels on
Crystal Palace

    Try tuning into 22,25,28,29,32,34 to see if you get
funny way lines
    and block on the screen. If you do you are picking up
the digital
    signals from Crystal palace and there is a good chance
that an
    onDodgy box would work. you then need to borrow one
froma freindly
    London based UKHA'er to check the reception before
parting with your
    dosh.

    HTH

    Keith
