Hey ppl,

I've got an odd one here. I've just moved into a new flat, and was in the midst of hookin the telly up to the aerial, when i noticed there were two diff aerial leads. The first one i plugged in was just a regular analogue feed with Chs 1-4... My tv picked em up straight away as they were in the same place as the last flat. So then i plugged in the other lead, it had a satellite type connection on it (sorry for my severely non-techy terms - i mean a coax connector with a little screw-nut on it). Anyroad, i fixed a normal coax connection to the end, plugged it into my telly, and did an autotune.

I'm not at home at the moment, but from memory it picked up these channels:

BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, ITV2, Ch4, BBC3, BBC4, Trouble/TheAdultChannel, BBC Parliament, SkyMovies(1 i think), a couple ntl:home advert pages for footie matches.... and a strange screen from someone's Windows Desktop showing lots of green lines n techy info. Looks like some kinda scanner prog, but i can't read the writing in the menubar to see what it's called.

How's this happenin? Who's doin it? Also, there's a load of channels it's picked up, that're *just* outa tune, looks like the vert-hold needs adjustin on them, but when i finetune, it don't pick them up... To my uneducated eye, it looks like the signal's too strong for the telly... but mebbe it's just scrambled. Is there anyway i can get these channels?

Anyway, movin into a house to find free Adult Channel access... okay, it's cheesy stuff mostly, but better'n nothin.

Any help on what this is all about, would be MOST appreciated.

Cheers,
