Spoke a bit too soon. One has arrived, and powers up just fine. But is
tuned to the trnasmnitter wherever it came from, but not London. And the

no factory code like 1234 as on many things. So I'd guess if someone went
to the bother of setting it, they'll have used their own number.

Googled for factory reset and found two ways. Neither of which works.

Seller is just a dealer so doesn't know the code.

You get three goes at entering the code then it locks up for a while
before you can try again. Dunno for how long.

Doesnt help you but I had an old recordable sky card which needed the number to record after 21.00. Same as you after 3 tries it locked you out. Stuck a bit paper on top and started at 5000, writing down the next number every time. Took ages but eventually got the number. I could have started at 0001 but it seemed better to start at 5000
