That's. exactly what we did. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our house.. They used
scanner devices which go to over 1 GHz. and would pick up any nearby
transmitter in that range, they also checked the phones. and found
nothing... but if the tap was. at the exchange, then they wouldn't find
anything,. would they?

CS: >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in. fact, no bugs to be found?

You can assume. that they've done this sort of thing to other people in more
"serious" cases, where they would know the targets. would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So they will. have developed techniques
and devices which are not readily. detectable either by visual inspection or
by electronic means.. What those techniques might be, I couldn't guess.

In this case, the existence of bugging. devices was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in" with. what was said by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people. to be
called. in, who they knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility to the other. things I would have to say relating to the
harassment.

I did all the things. someone in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in professional help. using electronic
counter-surveillance,. I made a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment, plus. any points where audio or video surveillance devices might
have been concealed. Of course, I found. nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and require. visible supporting
circuitry. It seems. to me the best place to put a small video surveillance
device. would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such as a TV
or video. It would be necessary to physically break. in to a property to fit
such a. device.

Hello all. (Sorry for the repost if this is one, but the first message
doesn't appear to have, err, appeared)

You (may) be pleased to find below a 1080 version of the SkyHD test
card which I've fettled, recoloured and redrawn over the last couple
of days to remove MPEG and JPEG compression jubblies.

The 'fixed' finished article is available to download here:

<http://www.bgn.me.uk/SkyHDTestCardFixed.png>

After 'remastering' it I had a search on Google Images and Flickr
which suggests that this is currently the highest quality and sharpest
(no anti-aliasing in my corrections) 1080 line test card freely
available to the public.

Those of you with large screen HDTV's might wish to throw the image at
your xbox 360 if you want to see how well you telly stands up to
inspection.

If you have any suggestions or queries please drop me an email.  If
you find a better quality HD test card then good for you, if you want
to modify this card then feel free - all I've done is given it a good
tidy it up so it's of a decent quality :)

Please try not to distribute the test card with 'lossy' compression,
but I understand that some of you will have to convert it to a JPEG or
similar to get it near you telly - if that's all you can do then
compress it at the highest quality you can (largest file size) and
don't squint too hard.
