If we have to have DOGs (and I assume we do, since the Powers That Be seem resistant to appeals to remove them), all channels should take a lesson from BBC HD. The DOG is faint enough to be barely noticeable except on the plainest of backgrounds. With a busy picture, it virtually disappears. I think DOGs and other screen clutter (such as animated, multiple, and/or coloured DOGs; squashing...

Does anyone know if a freeview box connected to a Sky dish would work in Switzerland? I cancelled Sky 6 months ago and now "only" recieve free to view channels. I know someone back in the UK who has the exact same situation as me and he told me that he bought and hooked up a new freeview box to his Sky dish and now gets more channels and even some in HD. Would the freeview box work in the...

I have a 2 year old Pany Plasma with Freesat HD. I use a Sky HD box . My TV sound is via HDMI and i use a Kenwood AV amp for 5.1 etc The Phono sound from the sky box is sent to the TV in the Kitchen and a little Amp for good sound. the two amps sound good together. Because of the delay on the TV the sound echo's if you have on the Amp sound and the TV sound at the same time. As the...

Just installed a SkyHD box to replace my Sky+ box. Main reason was that the Sky+ box kept freezing on playback (although never on record). The free self-install option looked to be a cheap way to replace the box - Will cost me £120 in the first year after which I might downgrade to lose the HD channels. Our TV is a Panasonic TH-37PX70B, which you will realise is a 37" model. It has a...

For a while now I have been having trouble with Sky Player. Each time I logged on to Sky Player to watch something which wasn't very often it kept re-registering my computer. I only ever watch Sky Player with the one laptop it is the only computer I have. It is a macBook if that makes any difference, tonight I went on and yet again it registered my laptop and but also said that I couldn't watch...

Following a post in this forum recently, I phoned up the nice people in Sky on Sunday 23 May to enquire about the no-cost (apart from monthly HD sub) self-install option. Ordered box and it arrived on Friday 28 May. As we were away over the weekend, I did the self install yesterday (31 May). Mild hiccup when an HD recording failed. Phoned Sky who said their system was down and they...

So whats the score? Is there anything different between Sky News and Sky News HD, apart from one being broadcast in HD format? Do the programmes vary?..... Or is it a completely different channel with completely different presenters and news format?

I have the sports pack at ½price for 6 months but noticed I cannot get ESPN Classic and At The Races and Eurosport channles. Aren't ALL sports channels (minus ESPN) included? If not what package is At The Races part of? Thanks --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

So I have Sky+ and want the hd bbc and itv channels for the world cup. Can I just go buy a skyhd box off ebay and get my sky card paired with the new box at no cost? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Hi Guys, Getting regular failed recordings now with "Technical fault 11" quoted. Any genius out there with any ideas? Cheers all.

If a HD receiver has an RF output, will a HD television connected to it, give a HD picture? Do the current $KY HD Digiboxes have an RF output?

A relative in Spain is being quoted stupid prices to renew his sky subcription I'd like to but a box and card in the uk and get it to him, but sky seem to be saying that I can't buy a box without having a (free) aerial installed at my house! Is there any obvious way round this? Or some other way of getting sky in Spain at non-exorbitant prices? (I assume that HD+ works fine in Spain if you...

A customer who operates a large system with several Sky boxes at the head has emailed to say that he has replaced some of the boxes and put the old cards in. These cards either worked immediately or worked after he rung Sky. However he wishes to access the parental control options but the PIN number doesn't work. He has tried the last four digits on the cards and the various obvious options such...

My Thomson HD box failed last Tuesday. The screen went blank and when I tried re-booting the box via unplugging and replugging - the red light flickered briefly for a short time and then went out completely. Clearly yet another Thomson psu failure. I did consider sending off for one of the psu repair kits - but I wanted the matter sorted out quickly and so phoned Sky. I was offered the...

After a long call to sky, they sold me a Sky+ HD box, without the HD subscription., for £59 installed (I already have Sky+). Letter came through to confirm, and has the box listed as 'Sky+HD (A Grade)'. Anyone know what that means? I was assuming that I'd be supplied a new (smaller) box - sky did say on the phone that it would do all the latest stuff when i was available (Sky Player via...
