Analogue cable problems

Since I had purchased my Tivo about three weeks ago now.
I have not been able to get an accurate channel lineup, I have analogue cable and am with NTL Communications, my Post code is E1 in east london, although I am able to chose NTL from the list of service providers, the actual channel numbers associated with the channel names are incorrect...ie:-

CABLE BOX CH# TIVO CH #
------------- ---------

11 sky one 03
04 bbc1 05
08 bbc2 10
16 itv 15

this is only a fraction, tivo seems to have all the channel names, however incorrect channel numbers

does anyone else have the same problem?

on reading through all posts, had stumbled across somebody from bow E3 in east london, they had mentioned that they also have ntl analogue cable and have the correct line up bar the odd channel.....well have tried post code E3 and hey presto...it works,...thanks mate from E3.

it will give you the option of NTL cable & wireless (seven kings)

channel lineup as follows:-
