Just bought the Redlight Elite card from Viewtech and tried it on my TM softcam. It recognises the card in teh menu but the channels aren't clearing (says "scrambled channel"). I bought the receiver last month - "patched and with the latest softcam keys". I can edit the keys using the...

Hi. My dish attached to my wall will only go as far west as 28 east. I also want 13 east and still have the bracket I used at my old house to get 13, 19 and 28 east on one dish. However this had 19 east as the main focus and the dish won't go this far! Any solutions or suggestions?

Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. Re: Xbox. I understand there's a new "Sky Go" app coming in July which will allow you to watch live tv on your laptop with a Sky sub but without broadband max/multiroom. Hopefully the same will apply on the Xbox!

Hi there. I've got a Sky HD box with card currently showing BBC, Channel 4 and (I think) ITV's HD channels with no subscription. Can I subscribe to Sky's standard definition channels on the HD box without paying the extra £10 HD subscription if I call them with my viewing card number, whilst...

Will I get these channels with my card when my subscription expires in early March? Will the pause and rewind functions of my sky+ box still work?

Hi folks I'm thinking of getting s*xview but have a dilemma. I like the look of the 12+ package but don't want to shell out £140 for a 12 month card (6 month cards don't seem to be available). On the other hand, I have a Diablo 2.2 Cam but no Cas programmer. I've spotted an upgrade to Diablo...

From Oxfordshire? When could you make it over? How much would you normally charge for that sort of thing? Sorry for all the questions! Can I have your email or should I PM you?

Sorry if that sounded a bit abrupt! I've already been let down by 2 installers. I've also missed out on nearly a month's Sky! I have a 70cm Raven Gemini dish with a bracket holding 3 LNBs. The middle one is vaguely pointing to 19 East but needs fine tuning. The other 2 need pointing to 13...

Hi. Just an update on this. I'm moving to Sale pretty soon (well Ashton on Mersey to be exact - at least that will remind me of home!) and I'm going to order a Raven 70cm mesh dish and multiclamp - found them for about £53 including postage: is that good? I'm also wondering if anyone knows...

I recently put several gigs of files on to a Seagate hard drive I bought from Maplin. Then it breaks)(-red I plan to bring it in for a replacement/ refund, as I have with several Maplin items. However I'm being told they may examine the hard drive and look to repair it. This is a pain...

Don't worry - I'm from Merseyside so I'm well versed in that!;) Thinking bout Sale or Prestwich because I think I need the quiet life now. I'll only venture in to Manc with bodyguards in tow! Then again I'm very good at suppressing the scouse twang. Top banana, hacienda! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks -this is really helpful. So would a sky installer provide the 80cm dish and quad lnb (could then add the bracket myself) or do they only provide Zone 1 and 2 dishes? What would the charge be?

Thanks again Can I get a bracket for 28, 19 and 13 East? Seen ones for 19 and 13. I'm trying to keep the whole thing as minimal as possible, so passers by don't think I'm watching anything dodgy! Ta

Thanks So you would recommend not using the motorised system for my Sky Plus box, even with a quad LNB (having directed the dish to 28 East using the other receiver)?

Having to move fairly soon to the dark side (Gtr Manchester O-no) with work commitments On the bright side I can finally move away from the communal dish to a proper dish with a quad LNB for my Sky Plus. I was planning to set up a motorised 80cm dish, for use with my Sky Plus and my other...
