Hi Everyone - I'll try to be brief. Trees!!!! Getting in the way - so I've asked my neighbour if I can take a feed from his dish. Obviously, I'll pay for the upgrade of his old LNB, but is there one make/type of Quad LNB that stands out head and shoulders above the others.

Does anyone have anymore information on this http://www.susat.co.uk/satmeter.php#ant Any specs/dimensions? - capable of sky+? Any info much appreciated si

Is it possible to receive fox sports on sky? I have had a look on the internet but couldn't find any frequencies for the channel. Thanks Bucky

It is a shadow of its former self. When Lindsay Wesker & Gordon Mac run the station,it was fabulous. Justin Timberlake & some of the other crap being played on the station would not have got anywhere near the kiss studios. Kiss 100 is now a poor clone of capital FM playing dire pop. Listen to the original sound that was Kiss100 by retuning to 879 Solar

Hello there, I am not receiving a signal on any channel. I have phoned sky, they told me the usual stuff, turn power off, remove dish cable, check the copper wire is poking through enough, re connect, turn on. Still no signal, then also told me to press ' 0 1 Select' in one if there service menus, then reset something. That hasn't worked either.

Hi all. I am looking for some technical information on Sky Digital (dish only). I could do with information about the following and anything else relevant. - Operating frequency - What sort of things can disrupt the signal

Personally and through experience a Hard drive is stressed during its power up cycle. The spinning up the drive to 7200 or is it 5400 in these things will cause more stressed to the HDD than leaving it on all the time. Also the heat decreases and increases to the box will cause more problems than just leaving the thing on??. I know people worry about leaving things with power attached overnight,...

I appear to have the volume and text controls on my sky remote control. I have recently had a new Panasonic television TX28 PL1 but I think everything worked on the remote after we had this. Do I have to reprogram the control unit if so could someone point me in the direction of the details. Many thanks

According to http://www.ses-astra.com/satellites/footprints.php?sat=15 Which is the Astra website so they should know, probably about half of France could be able to pick up the Astra 2D beam with an 80cm dish or less, and an 80cm dish really is not that big, particularly in a country which seems to have more space for everything. Now I know that there is a certain amount of adjustment that could...

Hi I wondered if someone could please help me about the new sky card. I am a sky subscriber, but I have not received the new card yet. I have not received any messages on screen about the new card either. Does this matter and do you know the date that old cards will stop working please? On the AV channel I can no longer get sound from the sky channels, so I have
