recording from sky digibox to dvd recorder by
dwdw1
I've got 'standard' sky on a panasonic tv with a panasonic dvd
recorder. I'd like ot be
able to record sky programmes from the sky guide. Is this possible. If
not is there any way around this, rather than buying sky plus. The tv
has an inbuilt freeview system, so I can record any of these from the
dvd recorders tv guide, but obviously not the sky progs.
any advice appreciated.
cheers

RedRobin
My son has Sky Plus in his bedroom, and following a change-a-round at home
he is moving into another bedroom. I can take the 2 cables through the
wall, but they are not long enogh to reach the box in its new location. Ca
we easily get new extention cables, and if so can you help with a supplier

loss of signal by
SoWeezy
last night during the heavy rain I lost a lot of channels, almost all that I
can normally get, can't remember what channels I could get but it wasn't
many
certainly no BBC, ITV, C4, E4, More4, SciFi, Paramount Comedy, Discovery H&L
etc. etc.
is this normal or could it be that my dish be poorly aligned (I installed
the dish) ?
thanks

Sky - is picture freezing an issue? by
Vaughan
I'm thinking of giving up my cable service and joining Sky, not least
because one of the worst things about the cable system is the regular
occurrence of pictures freezing, going blocky and just dropping out.
This tends to happen with groups of channels and is a result of frequent SNR
issues which take weeks to get resolved. For instance, nationally all the
UKTV channels were freezing every...

EPG delay in switching by
George
Basic Sky box (one of the Pace originals!)
Recently, I've noticed that, although I've set up programmes to
autoview, recordings (NOT Sky+) show that the channel does not switch
until a minute after the programme has started. The EPG even indicates
this ("This programme has started"), yet does not switch at the
beginning of the programme. This happens whether there is a previous
programme...

Use for old Sky digibox? by
Douglas Hall
In relation to the other question I posted, now I've got a LNB on my
dish with spare connections, in moving and clearing the loft from my
previous house, I've found my old Sky digibox which would have been a
remnant when having Sky+ installed.
I haven't looked at the box, yet, but I seem to recall that the card
would have probably been used for my Sky+ box?
So I've got an old digibox, and a...

Sky+: question about signal strength and quality by
Douglas Hall
I posted some questions some weeks back about moving house, and what to
do about my equipment post move.
As events panned out, the exchange and completion occurred rather
hurredly, and I didn't really have time to contact Sky before moving.
At the new house, the previous owner hadn't removed the dish as was
indicated in the legal pack. Although only having one connection to the
LNB, plugging...

Sky+ Multiroom contract by
diy-newby
Hi guys
We are toying with the idea of getting multiroom. I see you can get Sky+
multiroom for £99 or regular sky digibox for £49. Because the living room
tv is in the opposite corner of the room to the cable entry point and the
cable is buried in a channel in the floor, getting sky+ for the living room
is a no-no (can't see the engineer ripping up the carpet and hiding another...

Mixed up programme descriptions on Sky+ by
Peter Pratten
This subject was discussed back in March. It seems to have got a lot
more prevalent lately. To re-cap: The synopsis of a programme (as seen
on the /i/ button) is recorded with the programme but sometimes the text
changes to that of some other programme sometime after recording.
Usually it has been to another programme I've recorded but I have seen
it as belonging to a programme on a...

Remove need for PIN? by
Steve Waller
I seem to remember reading that a global "PIN off" option is available.
But I can't find it! I have one of the modified Sky+ hard drives (i.e
bigger) which had the firmware update a while ago rolled back as it made
them inoperable. Is that the firmware that gives this functionality, and
is that not yet available for larger hard drives?
Thanks!

damned PIN by
Bill Wright
The Skybox in my motorhome has suddenly started demanding a pin number for
certain programmes. God knows why -- it's never done it before. I have no
idea what the pin number is, of course. Ideas anyone? Other than chuck the
bloody thing in the bin? It's got a fault where it won't work on certain
muxes when it's running from the inverter, so it's risking a landfill future
by ****ing me off...
