I seriously doubt i am not entitled to use my broadband cable as a source for a terrestrial TV signal, i don't think they could need the tap currently feeding 1 - 5 because as you said everything comes down the same cable. I can't see how they could stop 1 - 5 coming down the cable in order to provide someone else a service, that doesn't make sense.

It is conceivable that Virgin will stop sending the terrestrial TV signal in the near future but i can't see how a problem with channel 5 flickering and sound cutting out every second can have anything to do with it. I subscribe to digital and i had analogue before that, because i had analogue the engineer that originally installed it many years ago tuned in 1 - 5 using the terrestrial signal that comes down the cable which uses different frequencies to the normal TV aerial, because of that i kept the TV tuned in to these frequencies. I can't see how i am not entitled to get 1 - 5 through my broadband or digital cable and if i am not then how would one go about getting the right? My guess is they can't because they aren't channels you pay for.
