It is likely that one of your neighbours has a satellite dish (probably analogue) and the signal can be picked up (I have done this with a pocket TV when we were on holiday as the hotel we stayed at had Sky, so I could get Sky One and Sky Movies Screen 2 on a Pocket TV) as there probably is interference. Apparently it can't be with Sky Digital, obivous reason is that a Digital signal is far different than an Analogue signal.
The ones that use UHF channels are illegal now, so I doubt you'll find one anywhere (I tried to find one a few weeks back). The ones that use other frequencies are available all over the place.
I used to get cable radio stations because somebody in one of the adjacent houses had a leaky connection, that could be happening here.
Currently, I use a signal booster to DX and boost the weedy signal that I get from my indoor aerial, and occasionally somebody over the road switches to BBC1 and it comes through on my video channel (although it appears as just interference if I have the video switched on)!
hey i swear im not doing nothing illegal. I WAS SHOCKED AS ALL OF U. i dont know i was flashing through all the channels until i saw 22 which wasnt blank anymore.
I'm referring to an older type of video sender that sends an analog signal to any spare UHF channel between 31-38,
the area on UHF wavelength, once usually reserved for VCR's, set top boxes and the like. Plug it into the output
composite socket on any suitable TV, VCR or any other suitable AV device, plug it into mains power, pull up
a small transmitting antenna, and by design, you could use this device to re-broadcast analog signals
to any other TV situated in other rooms in the house.
Unfortunately, some of these devices had a stronger transmitter than expected, and you could
end up unintentionally broadcasting stuff from your TV or VCR, to the TV's in nearby houses!
When people complained of receiving other people's unauthorised re-broadcasts of late night smut from satellite TV
soft porn channels, and in some cases, their own home made video smut, the DTI stepped in, and banned these
devices. Now, you can get legal video sender devices that are made with certain technical safeguards built in
to ensure you don't unwittingly broadcast signals illegally to TV's in neighbouring buildings. These newer
video sender devices can be quite a bit more expensive than their banned predecessors
Have you got a local TV station (I don't mean ITV)?
If so, they may have a deal to carry MTV during the hours they're not broadcasting, although the default usually seems to be Sky News.
