First question is what the heck you still doing with one of those antiques? lol
If your service has been upgraded to digital then you shouldn't really still have the old Sci Atl box, mine was collected at the time of upgrade to digital, though I believe NTL no longer bother collecting the analog boxes these days. My advice is call Telewest who will give you a box on a mirror of the main box's contract for £15, or possibly ask about their free to air box package, it will be much better in the long run as more and more channels are deleted from the analog packages
