1993/4 for analogue - not sure exactly when but it was "United Artists" cable in Edinburgh which became Telewest shortly afterwards.

Video is for UA in Tyneside but the same/similar one was used in Edinburgh IIRC (it was put through the letterbox on a VHS tape!!)

Digital arrived in 1999 and I had one of the Pace boxes that were first used on the digital service.
