You can only record if you pay Sky the tenner a month "recording tax" (Apart from in a few rare cases where the fsfs card allows it!)

Thompson boxes are notorious for having missing channels caused by failing capacitors in the power supply sub system.

Pop the top off the box and see if any of the little cylindrical components are bulging or leaking. The caps are usually embossed with a Y or a T on the top of the casing.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CLEAR!! The components can store enough charge to give you a nasty shock long after its been unplugged!

Thanks for the info, channel 5 HD poped in this morning ( maybe the update took longer than i expected ).It is shame about the recording that you would have to pay to use the function.
