HI, We missed this weeks Mastermind and i'd like to know if any of the other BBC regions or Digital channels will be showing Monday's programme again. I tried looking in the A-Z listings, but couldn't see anything. I tried looking up University Challnge which i'm sure is on next week, and that wasn't listed either

I am considering moving from Metronet to Sky broadband and wondered if it might be best to wait a while to see what happens. Anyone got any ideas about this? -- "you're not supposed to be sleeping Hawkeye!" "I'm not sleeping Radar, I'm just inspecting the insides of my eyelids!"

There has been some discussion in this group recently about the difficulties of aligning a satellite dish without professional test equipment. I hope the following technique will be of use. Initially the object of the exercise is to find due south, from which the exact bearing of the desired satellite can be extrapolated. This can be done using a good quality wris****ch or other timepiece,...

Hi All. I have a couple questions relating to Freesat. I'm going to be putting in a dish and box in France. I'm pretty sure I'm on top of that. With no card - I'll get all the FTA channels I know. How will the receiver determine what ITV region I'm in? I've read that this selection comes from the Sky Cards.

Hi, I have a multi room Sky system. Sky+ in one room and original Sky in another. I have video senders on both systems. In order to use the channel changer at the remote TVs I have put the supplied "Stickies" onto each remote channel changer window on the Sky boxes.

Do Sky still do Multiroom? I can't find it anywhere on their site?

I have just got Sky HD and ever since I have been having awful reception problems, not only with picture break-up but complete blank screens (not even the 'No satellite signal is being received' message) for short periods. Prior to this installation I had a single LNB on the old, larger analogue dish but I now have the twin LNB on the small dish. I have already phoned Sky once and they asked...

Anyone know what's causing this?? Been happening on and off for the last month. Program starts and all the way through the sound and picture seem to 'jump' out of sync then 'jump' back to ok again for a few secs, then back to out of sync, etc. Totally unwatchable. Only happens now and again on a recorded program, but bloody annoying when i t does happen. Also it happens on different programs...

Does anyone know how to get passed entering your PIN. My mother did not keep any of her documents and can't rememer the PIN she chose. I have tried the standard codes; 1234, 0000 and used the last 4 digits on her card. The funny thing is, when i call up to try and sort it out with Sky, they say that they have "re-set the PIN to a new four digit code", and that we should "change it to something...

Hi everyone. I'm not able to send a PM because I get an error saying it's full yet I just registered!! Waiting for your advice. Goodbye -- BebopVT

Hi I have bought myself an LCD screen. It does not have an integrated TV tuner. I have SKY TV wired round the house on standard RF CoAX cable. The LCD is not in the room where the Sky box is and has the following inputs available to me: Component (Y, Pb, Pr) S-Video

I've been thinking about upgrading to Sky+ (the new factory fitted dish would solve my dish/LNB problems - see other thread) but as I'll be considering getting HD next year, I wonder if I should (or could!) buy a Sky HD box but without the HD package? This would be effectively a Sky+ box until I get a HD TV next year at which point I could buy the HD package. In other words why buy Sky+ if I...

Is there any logic to the Sky Movies/Cinema numbers. For example - is Sky Movies 1 for the most recent releases on Sky Movies and Sky Movies 5 for childrens stuff (not that I've noticed it being particularly for kids - just using it as an example). Or are the Sky Movies channel just a general hotchpotch of different types of films spread all over the 10 or so channels.

hi - ive just got sky hd and when i go onto sky movies 10 plus a HD movie channel asks for a pin number am i correct on saying them 2 channels are pay per view ? Cheers Mark

Just watched last Tuesdays episode of CSI-Miami (Felony Flight) only to find that part 2 continued immediately afterwards in CSI-New York (Manhattan Manhunt). In cases like this, surely it would make sense for the series link to have picked it up? Fortunately, the channel 5 website carry an episide guide, but it's not the same as actually watching the conclusion. Very frustrating! MickK......

In article , Charlie+ writes We use UKTVDrama quite a bit, in the last few months short glitches in transmission are appearing in some programmes and also on some other channels, average perhaps two or three glitches in an hour and lasting only a few milliseconds at a guess, seems to be somewhat programme sensitive on the...

Hi all, Just got a cheapie reciever from Lidl and am having problems aligning the dish. I'm trying to get the freebie channels from Astra28E The dish is on the kitchen roof with clear line of sight - no obstacles. I've been onto the Astra site and typed in my exact location and got the co-ordinates. I've aligned the dish horizontally with a compass and protractor etc. I've tried moving it a...

Hi, I am new to sky tv and was wondering if I put my Sky card in a spare box which I am planning on installing in another room, will it work and give me all the channels I have subscribed to, or does it just work in the box it was registered for? Regards Allan

Last night I set my Sky+ to record the prom on BBC Four starting at 17:30. No other recordings were set. This morning I noticed to my surprise that the Sky+ box was still recording. It had been recording channel 116 all night! On investigation I discovered that the programme being recorded was CBeebies (ch 617) - but on the BBC Four channel (116). The only way I could stop the recording was...
