I would imagine if the wires still go anywhere that there's no equipment in the headend (if that's still there - might have all been cemented over and built on) to broadcast anything.

Turns out that it was Rediffusion, my understanding is that Rediffusion is out of business now, so what happens to all the old cabling?
I havent looked inside the box, but it sounds like something should be able to be done with it, even if its only Analogue. So i was thinking if noone owns it anymore, what happens to it?
It has to belong to someone, or owned by someone, otherwise anyone could just grab it and claim it as theirs no?
