Thank you Nano, how very kind of you. I would like to take up the offer is there any way that we can exchange details?

Could you tell us a little bit more about the assets of the F5? I am thinking of getting one to replace my old dying Silvercrest, would you recommend the Skybox and if so would you pass on the details of supplyer? Thanks

Thanks HairyB I had a look on Ebay for the Skybox F3 and there is now an F4, says it updated the F3, and a dongle for F3/F4/F5 so I wonder if there is also a newer version F5, will keep on searching! I am in no hurry are I have two other rooms with receivers for now if I need to watch something...

Thanks for your reply, No need for pay cards, just want the usual FTA channels, dish is not motorised but has three LNBs not sure what 'dual tuner' is, I just watch the arabic FTA channels and MBCs

Hi all, my receiver is now being naughty and keeps switching itself ON and OFF all the time, so I guess it is kaput. It has been a good buy, one of those Lidle receivers (Silverscrest) which I purchased too many years ago now to remember. Never gave me any trouble that was not operator caused...

When I set the time on my satelite do I set GMT +00.00 (I am in London)? This has given me a time display of 20.01 (watching Jazeera English) (its actually now 09.48 in London) what am I doing wrong?

Hi, Has anyone tried out the new Iphone App 'DishPointer'? Just wondered if it is any good :)

none raised even a smile, maybe I have lost my sense of humour!

:confused:This is what I have done-not realising that someone in the house had been round the back of the TV and pulled out the wire for the satellite I saw that I could not get any channels-no signal was the message....so, being as I have not done a scan for some time (about 1 year) I decided...

You can get some great movies on MBC One & MBC Action, all in English with subtitles in Arabic Enjoy

Dont forget you are a foreigner-you may have to get permission for a large dish. Hotbird, Arabsat and Astra are all available. Yes the Syrians all have dishes too,remember though - Syria is a dictatorship, they have little respect for anyone. The Baath party are a law unto themselves. Watch what...

Mum used to make us bubble and squeak, bread and dripping on thick slabs of home baked bread, apple pie to die for. I remember gas lights at home too - I must have been very small, they had a very delicate white mantle, trolley buses, the tally man coming once a week, the coal man with his sacks...

I will look when I get home from work tonight (if I remember) I think it is the same frequency tho - forgive my ignorance Llew but what does the 3/4 stand for?Perhaps I have that set wrong?

I am looking for MBC-Maghreb, I have all the other MBC's (MBC1/2/3/4/Action) but altho MBC Maghreb shows on Hotbird 13.0 it says 'no signal', wonder why? I also get Atlantic Bird(whatever that is-load of channels). Thanks
