Many thanks 2cvbloke for clarifying. I already use a Foxsat Freesat HDR but had another potential use for a 2nd box!

I have a Pace Sky Plus box and no card. Is there any way 'around' to record fta channs. (I don't need ftv or pay channs on this box).

Thanks for all comments. I replaced cables at both locations with WF100 and no joins. Have used sleeves at lnb end but not the grease until I correctly aligned! Tivu thanks for dect clarification. The one Icecrypt is a double and the other a quad. Thanks for link to Rolf's excellent comments...

Hi Mickha. Thanks for reading. Food Network is from Eurobird 1 at 11344H. I did look at a neighbour's standard Sly installation and all channels were coming in at very similar strengths. At my house there is a dect base station 18 feet from the Sly box and an extention dect handset 10ft from...

I know it should be easy but I have problem! Have tried to line up dishes in 2 parts of the south of UK. Both at 28e. One is 1m and the other 60cm. No rusting. New WF100 cables. New Icecrypt LNBs. Both for Foxsat Freesat stbs and one Sly box. The 'main' channels such as BBC and ITV boom...

My Humax was a disaster, (from June 09), until the software update of Dec 09. Missed a lot of recordings for example. Things have picked up since. It is easy to go to non Freesat but I would not want to be forever zapping between Freesat and non Freesat channels. I haven't said 'how to' as I...

I have not seen pids for ages. Non of the old ones currently open anything. The boxes were popular when the pids opened scumtanta's scottish football. I really would not buy a Nokia box for general freeview viewing as they are temperamental and slow. Good build / poor software. If you do...

Thank you Rolf. Amazing speedy response...as always!

Apologies as this has been covered so many times before but am struggling with 'search'! I have blown dust off 2 old digiboxes which I will install for friends. Neither person will be subscribing to Sky. Box one has a card with the little yellow house on so I will leave ON on Ch4 overnight...

Just to bring situation up to date in case others have problem.....the facility is now back working. I had hoped it was something to do with Sly updating their epgs or whatever. I think that was probably the case.

Thanks Rolf. I'm baffled too. I'll blow dust of another slybox and try that. If ever i resolve issue I'll come back and post here in case anyone else gets same. Guess it must be a fault.

Yep! Dating channel OK on 682. Tried to add some ITV channels from 10758V. Same result 'No signal found'.

Hi Rolf. Used the one off the Caroline site and the one off Lyng. Actually they are the same....just one digit different! Tried both anyway. Actually that doesn't answer your question! But i did then add same transponder to my Echostar (non sly box) and found Caroline there. Perhaps its a...

Am using an old Pace with old card (not subscribing) that opens Ch4 and 5. A week or so ago i noticed that the long list of channels that I have over the years accumulated via 'add channels', such as radio Caroline and all ITVs have gone from the 'Other Channels'. First question is from memory...

Rolfw. Your Sagem recommendation turned out to be excellent. (Not that I doubted your judgement!). Thanks. Have now given it away to an 89 yr old who certainly doesn't want bells and whistles! Now I have decided that I want one!!! I do want a 'bell or whistle' namely a timer function for...
