Brilliant. Thanks so much. I'm so pleased not least as I won't have to go to babewatch. Have ordered right away. is there a guy watch?!!

Only normal but thanks. Word has it the HD boxes don't work well here.

Eeeek babewatch? What's that?!! As foro threatening Sky I'm in Spain so no go there!!!

How am I to get the colour right without a test card!

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

Hope they aren't inept!! Well they certainly are not inept at quoting a lot for a repair! They are the nearest dealer for Pioneer which we thought best. We brought the TV from Richer Sounds as they are much more expensive here. I suppose we could ask the Sky box provider since the box is new...

The old TV is pretty much in the same position physically and nothing else has been added. All other boxes are in same positions. I would have wondered whether to retune the tv except that the optical cable via sony amp gives the same feedbanck noise. Also I was wondering if we were using the...

That's what I felt too but does that mean faulty and needs replacement? Sound and picture are both OK using purely the co-ax connection.

Ok try to be brief re set up. Live in Spain. Had lightening strike which knocked out LNB, sky+ box and extensive damage to Pioneer 50" TV (650€ to repair!!!). Waiting for TV repair. New Pace box (can't see a model number) and LNB. Before we connected from scart to scart switch and then to TV...

We'd get another sensibly sized dish and only use the big one for static sky. mAYBE A 1M?

Thanks. Well better than nothing I suppose if the evening is a bit dull or just to keep in touch with news. Could just rely on wireless (showing my age!!) I suppose but I hate to admit to being a TV addict!

Damn!!!!! OK I give in! The Sky is for him indoors and the cricket! Anyone know of a dealer here to supply?

We have a large dish here in Spain which allows us to get Sky (BBC for me, Sports for cricket for him!!). In the UK we also had a motorised system for him - I never enquired too closely why?!! Actually we brought the kit but were told the dish was bent although it looks OK. My husband keeps...

Lidl in Spain are selling a "camping digital" setup which it says accesses Astra 19. The dish seems to be 40cm diameter. Has anyone tried one of these? It's 89€ and would be handy for camping if anything worth while would be available in Europe and the UK. English speaking channels would be...
