What channels can you pick up without a VM TV subscription?

I was told by several people that VM still broadcasts the old analogue TV channels simultaneously along with their digital broadcasts.

Without a VM TV subscription, which channels could you pick up in the clear with either an analogue or (preferably) a digital receiver hooked up to the line? I only have a 20Mb BB subscription at the moment, but a T-bar splitter and a box so I could watch TV on my PC would be great (we have a TV license for the house anyway so it's not like I'd be picking up BBC TV without one).

Anybody know for definite which channels can be received without officially having a TV package?

Ern since analogue is being switched off I wouldn't expect too much. Also the only thing that should be connected to the line is the equipment that you receive from VM. Nothing else will work and nothing else should be attached to gain a service you aren't paying for.

Cable Forum will not allow discussion of any method of obtaining service without a subscription. As that is the sole purpose of this thread, it's closed.
