Question Can I get any more channels?

Hi all

Can anybody tell me how I can get more channels on my virgin media digibox.

My sister gave me the box when she moved to a non cable area and it is currently only receiving a handfull of free view channels.

I am not currently subscribed to any virgin media services as I have recently moved from them to talktalk, but I do still have all the cable running to the digibox and splitted off to the aerial port on an old style tv via an f-plug adaptor which now only receives standard channels 1-5.

Is there any mod I can do to the digibox myself to receive more channels without subscribing to virgin media? If so will I need any equipment to do this and is there guide on how to do it?

Here is a little info on the digibox:
Model: Samsung SMT-2100C, it has an old style NTL card inserted with NAGRA VISION stamped on the back, and it is used in the east mids area if it matters.

Many thanks in advance.

Something that you shouldn't be talking about on here but someone with only two posts can find a lot about by searching.
