Assuming you are using it on an NTL or Telewest network, I don't think you'll be able to. As I understand it, the boxes on each network are restricted to working on that network. You may be in the same area as the person who sold the box, but bear in mind that NTL's network areas do not necessarily line up with the physical area (one network may service two or three areas).
One final thing.. It is illegal to sell both NTL and Telewest boxes. They are rented out to each subscriber, but they remain the property of the cable company.
