Thomson Sky Digibox and FTV by AmyGG
I have a Thomson Sky Digibox. I recently cancelled my Sky subscription but would like to use the Free To View channels. According to the website http://skydigitalfaq.cjb.net/: "If you have a dark blue card with a yellow "house" design on it then the FTV channels should continue to work for some time." However, when I try switching the Digibox on, although the channel automatically changes to the...

Slightly OT - Freeview Interactive Services on Samsung LE37R8 TV by Bob Huntley
Hi, My old man has just bought a Samsung LE37R8 TV - a 37 inch LCD set which includes analogue and Freeview tuners. We've found one slight problem with the Freeview set-up - we can't access the Interactive services (i.e. the "Teletext" pages of DTV) which you normally enter by pressing the Red button on BBC1, BBC2, BBC News 24 etc. etc. I've tried the Text button as well as the Red one -...

Any Samsung tv engineers read this NG? by diy-newby[_2_]
I have a Samsung LE40M87BDX LCD. It suffers from the known and common scart interference issue on EXT2 and slightly on EXT1. Is there a fix for this yet? I connect my Sky+ box through EXT1 (RGB) and in dark solid scenes you can see very faint scrolling horizontal lines. EXT2 is un-watchable. TIA

www.NO2ID.net More than a card - a new way of life The ID Card scheme is not just a harmless new bit of plastic in your wallet. It requires a massive and intrusive database that changes the nature of UK Citizenship and shifts the balance of power further away from the citizen to the State. With the National Identity Register (NIR) and ID Card, the Government will control your identity. It will...

odd problem with Sky remote by Geoff Pearson
Last week I took a Thomson Sky box, with FTV card, out to my friends in Spain where it worked perfectly - at first. Then sporadically the Select , info and interactive, and channel change + and - buttons would not operate on the remote - they work fine on the box itself (it might be buttons down the right side of the remote). No flashing lights on the remote or on the box for these...

sky+ recordings which won't play by Paul Heslop
They don't say failed or anything, they just refuse to play. Not a massive issue so far as everything that has failed has been an old program or is repeated, but I am curious as to why this happens. -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/
