If the cable has been left connected in the cab then yes you can tune the off airs. And yes to the question about the f-f lead. Youll need a male belling adapter.

In theory, the answer to your 1st question is no, ntl disconnect your connection the the network when you canx, so no signal should pass through and therefore no pictures will get through to you.

Although it will still be connected if you still take broadband.

As both TV and broadband use the same cable it must still be connected at the cab for broadband to work.

I read somewhere that it was a condition of their license that they had to deliver terrestrial channels through the cable, _even if you cancel the sub_!!!
BB is on the same cable as TV, so if you have BB you should be able to split off a UHF TV feed, although it is technically possible that they may be adding a bb-only filter to prevent hacked STBs being connected.

That would have to be a pretty good bandpass filter!!! The BB signal being an 8MHz signal like the TV signals within the normal UHF TV bandwidth.
As an ex analogue Telewest customer, they disconnected me and left me with phone only about 6 months after I cancelled the TV package.
