I always thought it was DVB-C, and there are no unencrypted
transmissions. You need a TCL STB with a CAM card to decode them. Plus
your cable link may have been terminated if you're not a current paying
customer.
But that was years ago and things may have changed.

My cable link is active, its what I am using now to send this email!

I just wondered because they seem to offer TV over both UFB and cable,
and I thought they must have gone IPTV.

Seems wrong to encrypt Freeview, although I appreciate that they will
be encrypting their Sky transmissions.

There was a small period of time when Telstraclear/Saturn were transmitting
RF along side the encrypted stream. With the right filter you were able to
effectively use the Cable Co-ax as a Terrestrial Attenna. Last time I
checked there was just the weather update channel nowdays (circa 18 months
ago).
