[QUOTE="richardinalex, post: 21683, member: 176119"] These decoder things are a super way of passing away bits of your life - that’s what the better half reckons anyway. Last night - changed this - changed that - messed around with this - messed around with that - and ........ - oh joy - all of a sudden the little beauty started working (but not 2D) So at the mo - without my new little SKY card - I can pick up lots of the FTV channels on the Grundig decoder - Sky News, QVA (I hope she who must be obeyed doesn't start looking at that channel), CNN, ITN News, TCM etc etc. So, here's today’s couple of questions .... Most of the other channels (pay to view), when selected say (or do) one of four things:- a) "Insert Sky Card" - presumably once the card arrives these should be OK B) "No satellite signal" - BBC / Disney / ITV - presumably because its looking pretty grim to catch 2D in Alexandria c) "There is a Technical Error with this Channel" - happened on SKY1 - any ideas what this is about? d) Nothing - no message - no picture - any idea what this is about? Is there a particularly weak transponder that has FTA channels - which I can check to make sure I'm picking up all the other Astra beams? If this all works I won't know what to do with my time? Cheers Richard (Working on a Sunday - because here Friday = Sunday!) [/QUOTE]
