    can anybody help
    looking to receive any sort of viewable signal from a virgin/ntl line I have the dvb t/c tuner .
    have tried a std uk search but nothing found.
    cheers

    It also depends on where in the UK you are. It may be all Virgin media now but it used to be Telewest and NTL. Both companies used different systems and different baud rates. There are Cable friendly forums out there, you just need to look for them.

    basics > have you got an active signal? (connected at the green cab in/around your street)


    chances are if you are not a subscibed customer you will not have a live feed > virmin do yearly cab audits to unplug unsubscribed customers.

    It depends on if the cables are labelled correctly as nine times out of ten they aren't, and most of the engineers can't be arsed to trace the cables so they just get left connected.


    Thats the good thing when you used to work for one of Virgins subcontractors. You get to keep a full set of cab keys :haha:


    Not that you need them as most of the time they aren't locked anyway. If they disconnect you, just go back up to the cab and reconnect it, its only a screw on connector. Simples

    haha, so true. i knew a guy who used to do the boxs, if there wasnt a signal he would go to the cab and connect them up, he also told me he would remove most of the tags, can imagine it made things difficult for the engineer haha
