Here's a neat bit of #analogcable history - a behind-the-scenes video showing Swindon Cable's headend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INXXd4E6sUM

Interestingly (to me) they have a couple of General Instrument MVP scramblers (photo 1) - "SBY" on the display means they're in standby.
Above them are three General Instrument modulators, probably Commander-6M's.
The cable box is an INTERCON 7000.

Seems like that's proof PAL versions of the MVP and C6 existed. I'd love to find one of each - or even just ROM dumps.
