Does anyone know how to detune the digital channels? Both Freesat and Freeview. I don't watch live broadcast TV anymore and would like to save myself the license fee (yeah I know they are a pain in the backside once you do that but I will deal with that when it comes). I don't think it's enough cutting the aerial cable at the wall as if you get any signal whatsoever they will nab you for it.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. You have to auto tune with the aerial disconnected whereupon it will find no channels and you can leave it like that. For analog I had to keep the aerial connected and make sure all the channels were de-tuned before disconnecting it.
