[UK-CONTEST] set top box

[David - M0ZLB]

Peter,

Unfortunately, due to the abysmal lack of protections that we have in 
this country, its unlikely Virgin will waste any time on your neighbours 
equipment as the ball lies fairly and squarely in your court - now in 
the US, the set top box would be classed as unable to prevent the 
intrusion of spurious interference and the responsibility would lie with 
the neighbours equipment.

Fair? Course not!

Anything we can do about it? Course not!

Reason for the problem? - many years of negligent management by our 
National Society and their failure to secure us "protected status" like 
our US friends.

And don't bother with Ofcom - as we meekly accepted a free licence for 
life the concept of contract law went straight out of the window! We 
don't pay any "consideration" for our licence and that therefore negates 
any supposed contract - they don't legally have to provide, supply or 
protect us in any way!

Another example of piss poor administration of our hobby!

Try a good low pass filter though!

I come through on his Virgin Media set top box. I feel sure Virgin will have to come and sort it out but I wondered if there is a filter made for this purpose. I don't kown what frequencies the signals come in at. Any help would be appriciated.
