[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 2653, member: 175089"] Dear Methos, >hmmm, maybe I am missing something. Probably. I certainly am :-) the only EPG I have goes >up to 1 week in advance just like the normal EPG. Whats this >extended EPG ? I contacted SKY in the UK and an Independent Sat Shop in London. Sky said that you didn't have to have a phone connection. The Sat shop said the Phone Connection was to access the "extended" EPG (like TiVo). If truth be told. Next ! Personally, I think its all cock-shit. I have yet to get onto BBC Engineering (which I will) to ask how much schedule info is sent to SKY. AND, I don't believe for one moment that the BBC would, for one broadcaster, release a schedule two months in advance (think xmas). >After the 12 months are up you still have to pay the 10 >pounds extra if you wish to receive the SKY+ functions. Yet, thereafter, no phone connection is required - so what is the phone connection used for NOW. My own view - its as bogus as the requirement for a phone connection on an ordinary box NOW: only this time you paid for the box ? You can understand why I am confused. Next. Sorry, I over-snipped your post. It was on about a phone connection and being disabled by SKY. I add:- Software downloads via sat, card authentification via sat, upgrade/downgrade via sat - disable disc/SKY+ functionality by telephone ? I wonder ;-) Have Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
