Two Sky HD+ recordings at same start time of 9pm failed with message "Technical Fault 10". Was watching a previously recorded programme at time. Tried to set recordings again from EPG. First worked but second (at same time) didn't. Kept failing with TC10 message. Googling fault produced suggestion to re-build planner. This I did, although the box did not restart as described and I had to do a...

I'm currently listening to NASA TV on the web - PHOENIX LANDING on MARS ;-) It'd be nice to get this on my SKY BOX :-( Anyone know if I can manually tune my SKY box to NASA TV? I've googled around and it's a bit ambiguous - but I'm guessing it's a 'No' Patrick/

After some intial problems getting the signal level down to usable level, we ebnded up with a set up of 1.35 Metre Dish, Fibre Optic LNB, 15dB Optical attenuator, 4-way Optical Splitter, 5 Metres of Fibre Optic Cable, 4-Output MDU and a Pace 2600C1 Digibox. We are comparing this rig with out standard installation package of 1.35 Metre Dish and Invacom Twin Output 0.3dB Off-Set Focus LNB...

Is there any new on Sky actually fixing the intermittent sound on Sky Sports. I am using a HD box but don't have a HD subscription. It is really annoying, especially when watching Cricket. I have tried setting it to mono even to see if I could get it to settle down. Steve

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't see any reference to it, so here goes: We have Sky TV piped around the house - not multiroom, just the RF2 output so that all TVs in the house see the same as the main TV. The portable telly we have in the kitchen has gone faulty so, before buying a new telly I was just wondering if there's a way of utilising a spare computer monitor (with...

I've been using a IR to Radio type IR extender for a long time, but it's a bit unreliable. I've been very impressed with the reliability of Sky's own Magic Eye, which works through the TV aerial co-ax cable instead of via radio. However, I was wondering if these work through signal amplifiers? My current situation is that I have the Sky TV UHF signal sent to a signal amplifier, which then sends...

Hi We've a problem with our Sky HD box (it's about 3.5 years old). Certain channels are starting to pixellate - others are OK and appear unaffected, but C4HD (140) is virtually unwatchable, C4 and Sky 2 have intermittent problems and I'm concerned that the situation only appears to be getting worse. Signal strength, even on the effected channels is showing as good.

We've just received an offer to replace our Sky+HD box with a later (larger disk) one (not the 1TB box) free of charge because we have been a customer for a long time. There seems to be no other condition even though the fine print said it was for Sky Broadband customers in a Sky network area, neither of which we are. The chap thought it was a Thomson one which was shown in the picture on...

I don't use my hd box for recording only as a freesat box with a ftv card from sky. I Is there any way to cut out the hard disk either manually or set up. thanks

I have the standard quad LNB that you get fitted by Sky when you get an HD box. I am thinking of connecting a second HD box to it. Do I just connect the box to the two spare connections on the LNB? Or do I have to adjust any settings on the second Sky Box (such as turning off power to the LNB)? -- Vincent

I know this has been asked before, so I apologise for asking again, but things sometimes change... I have a spare Thomson Sky+ HD box, with new capacitors, and was pondering my options. Are the following options still correct? * Sell the box on eBay. * Watch only the FTA channels (without a viewing card). No recording.

Can anyone help?

It is no longer a rumour. Sky Text (Page 192) states, "Over the next few months, we're mailing new viewing cards to all Sky TV customers". The text page states specifically "Only applicable to Sky TV customers and all Pay TV customers. It does not mention "Freesat from Sky" cards. However, the FAQ at www.skyviewinghelp.com states, "If you do not change your viewing card, you will soon be...

Hi I wonder if anyone can help? I'm having a problem with Channel 4 HD on Sky (Channel 140). It's pixellating quite badly and the sound keeps dropping out, to the point where it's unwatchable (insert own joke here). All the other channels (including HD channels) are all OK. "Ordinary" Channel 4 (104) is fine too.

I've noticed on the Sky+HD box we've got (a Thomson, ugh!) that the LAN Connection is now visible and configurable in Settings/Options. Any other experiences on this before I start fiddling with it?

I just noticed that the DOGs on the Sky channels only appear for a short time at the start of a programme and just after an ad break, then they fade out. This is a much better arrangement than previously. Everyone is catered for from the suits who want station ident to those of us who are smart enough to know which channel we are viewing. Now, to get other broadcasters, including the BBC to do...

I don't know if it's me being stupid or not but, can anyone tell me if Republic of Doyle is repeated anywhere or available through Sky Player, because I can't find it if it is. We missed last week's programme and thought 'not to worry, it's bound to be on again' but so far, no joy. One of our other favourites, Castle, is repeated three times a week as I can see, but I'm completely missing...

I've been having the signs of capacitor failure on my Thompson HD box again (third time now, happens every year or so) and I spoke to Sky cancellations department in an attempt to get this fixed for free, instead of paying £65. They eventually said I could have it for free, or, if I prefer they said that as there is an offer starting tomorrow (26th May) for existing customers starting a specific...

Anybody know if its possible to modify a Pace 2600C1 so that it will run from a single 12V supply?

OK, can somone tell me, do these new boxes from sky still hang like the old HD boxes? if not I'm buying one cos I'm sick of this stupid box crashing all the time ta -- Vass
