Sounds as if the new epg will be downloaded to Samsung HD boxes starting this month! Peter

Yes, I can watch 1 channel and record another or record 2 x HD channels at the same time. On this evidence it seems that the box works OK apart from the screen freezes whilst in the menu system which started this all up! Leaving the unexplained menu screen freezes alone at present, on switch on...

I've had lots of incidents of my Samsung box crashing when scrolling around in the menus. The usual remedy is to pull out the mains plug, count to 50 and reboot it! I got fed up yesterday when it froze yet again and as it is now only 2 months old, I called the Sky Service people. I don't...

Many thanks, that's the impression I got! I'll sit back and wait for it to come to me now rather than keep chasing something which might cause more problems!

My Samsung Sky HD box, made in Mar 2009, was fitted around 6 weeks ago. The engineer updated the software as part of the installation but commented that the new menu/epg would catch up with me shortly. Basically I have the Sky+ menu / epg system which works correctly, but does not have looks of...

I couldn't believe it either, but it happened exactly as described. Programmes for record, at the correct time before the clock change, were listed 1 hour earlier to record when you looked at your list in the "Planner" after the time change. However, on the banner at the bottom of the screen...

Whilst checking various "automatic" clock changes around the house etc I discovered on my Sky Plus box, that all the "series links" in the Sky Planner were 1 hour earlier than the published programme time! However the time in the programme information banner had adjusted itself to gmt + 1hr, so...

Managed to get the guy from Woodbridge area eventually, he replaced actuator arm, but brought the wrong size! It does work with this arm, but it has cut out a couple of sats W because the motor would hit the building wall! He did point out that he thought the real fault was that the whole...

Couldn't agree more, we have to have the ES from the same stable! The actual news content of the feed is of little interest, I'm much more interested in the technical side, set-up, sound / vision checks etc. I would guess that they are encrypted, I've had no luck at all! Cheers Peter

Thanks very much indeed for the information. My dish unfortunately tends to move offline in windy weather, so I leave it parked sideways on days like yesterday! Looks calm enough today so will have a go when I return from the dentist! Many thanks for your help Peter

Has anyone found any newsfeeds from the media outside the Crown Court yet in Ipswich please? Before my HDD failed on my computer, I used to log onto a web site reporting live feeds from all over the world, since building up all new information on the HDD, I've been unable to find this useful...

I have the 450 with the same problem, unlikely to ever be resolved as new models have taken over. One problem you may not have discovered yet is with the "event timer"! You can fill the timer events (20) for the current calendar month, but can only put 1 in a future month, in this case the split...

After 4 incidents within 4 weeks I suspect jumping cogs in 36V motor / actuating arm mounted 15' ft up on South facing wall of property controlling 1 metre dish. Installation around 12 years old so suspect problem will not improve and may as well change arm if I could find an engineer. Thanks...

Just before Christmas I thought Sky had moved following a gale. I didn't appreciate what the cause was, so contacted a local installer who eventually turned up 2 weeks later, inspected the dish from the ground, pronounced it fine, and retuned 3 satellites, and left me to fill in the gaps. I...

Hi Rolf Many thanks. So what I thought was Nilesat on 7W is actually 2D on 8W. When this gale blows itself out I will hunt for Nilesat a fraction lower and move 2D to the Nilesat position on the motor counter. Many thanks Peter
