["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

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
