Any testcards on 28E??

Discuss your wife's objections to the fifth dish going up or your concern that there's far too little violence on the box these days. You can also introduce yourself here or just chat about anything. Remember, no keys or files allowed.

Cool Any testcards on 28E??

Is there a test card or similar anywhere on Sky? I'm having a real job getting the colour and contrast OK on my recently repaired Pioneer plasma

Phone Sky and threaten to cancel your subscription if they don't put one out.


(BabeWatch has browns/reds and pinks most days, but they are usually off colour)

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

Ive split these off the testcard pictures thread as it really needs its own discussion

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

You don't say what Sky box you have - It's just that I believe the BBC HD Channel carries a Test Card at various times.

Happy to have helped Anne ..
As to your second request ..
