[QUOTE="hoolet, post: 93484, member: 190212"] I live in a block and have just had Sky+ installed (and upgraded the HD).... Although I was prepared to pay for a stacker/destacker, we found that the equipment installed in the block had no spare outputs so I am stuck with a single LNB... What is Sky+ like with a single LNB? Well you cannot watch one channel and record another. Worse than this, you have to leave Sky+ on the channel that you want to record on - I'm sure there must be a way to get it to change channels but I haven't figured it out.. The only benefits, as far as I can tell, are: 1. doing away with tapes 2. being able to pause/rewind live TV Although these are nice, not sure that they justify the £400 spent... My next step is to build an IR channel switcher device, sell to everyone in flats and make my fortune!! T. [/QUOTE]
