Default BBC test card

A few days ago someone posted info on finding the BBC Test Card (sorry,
deleted OP).

Would have been handy a couple of weeks earlier, when I was discussing with
a retailer the fact that my new Toshiba recorder had lousy definition and
distortion. Resolved satisfactorily once I got to an engineer ("Yeah,
software problem, we get loads back") rather than a salesman ("No, Sir, they
never go wrong").

Question - why on earth is it so difficult to find this "hidden" test card?
Much discussion around my learned friends at the Rat and Gynaecologist
(local pub, we thought the original name was silly) came up with the rather
weak possibility that punters with TV sets might be tempted to fiddle with
settings and do damage, thus leaving the BBC open to lawsuits. Surely not?
Any better ideas?
