    FreeSat and Sky

    Thanks! I might wait and see if Sky end up providing the subscription free over the next few years! Really don't want any more drilling of holes and disruption (1820 house with 30 inch thick walls!). Alan

    FreeSat and Sky

    Thanks - sounds complicated. So I would need more drilling through walls over and above the 2 cables I already have for my Sky Plus?

    FreeSat and Sky

    Hi:-) Apologies if this question has been asked already but I still wasn't quite clear in my head having read the FAQs. I am considering getting an HDTV to replace my ageing CRT. I live in an area with an appalling conventional analog signal, and from what I hear things are not going to...

    Thanks for the suggestions, and I will certainly try the reformatting option on the link sent, although will have to watch/back up all my saved programmes first. I may try calling Sky's bluff and threatening to cancel, but what if they accept? I may have to pay again to reconnect! Can other...

    Can I replace Sky + box?

    I have an 18 month old Sky + box, and still subscribe to sky's exorbitant fees. My sky + box has been playing up, and is unreliable. Programmes set to record often don't record, and some stuff disappears from the hard drive despite being marked 'keep'. Also the drive is saying it is almost full...
