Has anyone had a problem with sky digital where it can effect ALL channels sound, including looped through RF signals? Recently we've noticed some distortion on audio through tv. It's an old one so I tried to replace it but the new one had a distinct hissy sound. Returned that but now I am not so sure that the fault isn't elsewhere. system entails RF and sat leads attached to Amstrad digital...

A new technical brief has been issued by Sky, briefly outlining the immediate future for the standard sky digibox (non sky+) It is available here if anyone wants to have a look. www.fragglerock.me.uk/digibox.pdf It has an interesting new look, not sure whether the display at the front will keep displaying Sky whilst in use or be like NTL in displaying what channel you are on

Due to the bi-annual rearrangement of our Living Room, my wife wants to move the TV and Sky + to the opposite side of the room. The original Sky cable has enough slack, but the second one does not. Can I buy a simple extension lead, or make one up (I am OK at soldering )? Any advice would be appreciated.

A friend of mine has moved into his apartment which is served by a communial aerial and satellite service. He took his pace sky box and pace sky+ box with him and has connected the sky digital box and all his well. How can he use his Sky + box in the apartment if he only has one sat cable connection in his lounge on the wall. The instalers have written to everyone in the apartment and...

I appreciate that the signing person shown on quite a few programmes is a great help for the deaf but as the vast majority are not deaf can sky not invent a way for us to switch off what to me is an annoying distraction that blocks a lot of the picture and ruins my viewing experience. merry christmas scrooge

Hello. I've replaced my faulty LNB with a quad (as Sky wanted £65 to have a look). It works fine, with a stronger signal (about 70%) than before the previous one went wrong. But wondered what the inline attachment is and whether I need to use it now. I guess it is some sort of attenuator or filter. It is 3 cm long, metal and the same diameter as the screw fitting. Thanks

Having Sky+ installed again in the new year. Are we likely to receive a v3 box? The last box we had was a v2 that came with a 40GB disk (or 80GB, can't remember), which I swapped out and replaced with a 160GB for the extra storage. I've read on DigitalSpy the v3's have 160GB drives in, but only 80 is accessible, with 80 being reserved for future use. I was thinking of

My son has a standard sky box (non sky +) all that is happening is the red standby light is on the front.switching off at the mains fails to bring it back to life.is there a fuse inside,can anybody help before he has to make that phone call. Thanks in advance -- Tim

Sky+ (Pace) had been freezing during playback, randomly re-booting (during playback, live TV or recording in standby) and various other nasty stuff I have seen detailed here by other posters. Tried all the usual up to and including reformatting. Phoned Sky, relieved of £65 over the phone, helpful and knowledgeable (yes, I know, but really, he was!) Sky chappie turned up this morning, could...

I am lookng at upgrading to SKY+160 anyone know how i can get the best deal from sky as an excisting customer, i dont fancy paying another £199 cheers dave

Sky plans to team up with Sony to kick-start demand for HD television. The deal between Sony and Sky will offer promotions and give discounts to customers who buy Sony HD televisions and Sky HD set-top boxes together. Brendan

I saw this on the Digital Spy website that maybe some of you would like to read if your having skipping problems on playback..... the comments from there seem to be indicating a software problem. http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=315709 Steve

Heya, I live in manchester uk & will only be in my current property for another 6 months (with no option for sky installation after that), is there any way that sky will do a 6 month contract or is there a bskyb reseller i could go through? I rang sky customer services asking this and the woman said no and pushed me off the phone o.0 ~Graham

Is it possible to set the box to replay recorded stuff one after the other without jumping back to the planner between items? And has anyone a hack for spooling past the ads? -- Chris Game "...it is important to realize that any lock can be picked with a big enough hammer." -- Sun System & Network Admin manual

Had to replace Sky+ box last week. Had it since July 04 under no extended warranty. Paid £65 for a replacement. My question is should the engineer have took my old one when is was mine and originally paid £199 for.

anybody know what this fault is, where there is a list of technical faults perhaps? My skyplus failed to record stargate atlantis sunday, and we were sitting watching it, AND the red recording light came on! I just checked tonight as we'd recorded csi miami without watching it so needed to know if it had recorded, it had, but discovered the failure. pressing the i button gives us the subject...

Hiya, I've just got a DVD Recorder to use with my Sky+ box, but I'm confused as to how to link it into everything else I've got. I've got the following equipment: Tv - 1 scart - in Sky+ - 2 scarts - in and out? DVD+R - 2 scarts - in and out

Did anybody spot the subtle reference to Sky HD in the ads during Half-Time in the Chelsea/Arsenal game? It was nothing more than say a 5-second splash of the Sky HD logo. My guess is that around the corner, perhaps just after Christmas, they will launch a huge advertising campaign and announce prices and dates. Brendan

can i record with my sky plus box even though im not subscribed
