you should get SKY quite easily on an 80 - 90 cm dish. BBC is another matter all together. probably 1,5m or larger. sorry.

Hokksund ... but do you get BBC and the 2D channels on your 1meter dish?

hi anyone know if the Dave channel is on 2D? I know its on freeview and though its on my SKY EPG , i cant get any picture. If its not on 2D , what packages is it available with? if its on freeview , isnt it freely available? thanks

Lycka till i Lilla (lila) Edet I'm also hoping to move soon , and a suitable area for the dish is a must! As i mentioned earlier , i,ve spoken to a guy on the islands outside gothenburg who gets the Beeb and itv on a 1,5m dish , though he does have all the ideal set-up,best receiver,etc. so it...

hi all in Göteborg I have had sky for several years now , and its all picked up on a normal 80cm dish on the roof , proffessionally installed , no problems . The bugger is that if you want the Beeb and Itv , then u need a much bigger dish . I know of someone that gets these on a 1.5m dish with...

Does the 2A south signal cover far north , so we that receive sky in Scandonavia without the bigger dishes (no 2D) can pick it up easily (with HD receiver) ?? this could be interesting , very interesting..

well this should give you something to do on sunday morning or give good old Martin effing Timmel a call ... My suggestion would be to fix it to any granit / rock if you have any available in the garden or a bit under the surface , then you'll get a sound base . you'll probably still get some...

same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago with my old(ish) amstrad . I feel like blaming Sky and their bloody software updates for buggering my box and creating the whole mess I was very unsure about getting a good deal on E-bay , so i bought a new PACE box for £128 +p.p. from digiboxshop.com in...

thanks for such rapid replies Rolf (southern england eh , i'm originally Winchester, hence SAINTs) I reckon the 20% figure has just swung it for me . need no more hassle , its gonna be the Pace DS430n cheers

without subscription , it will still work as a receiver , just with no PVR functions , yes ? Pace PVR3 , any good ? cheers

about the sky+ box . it costs nothing more for me as i am subscribing to the sports package , but what happens when i stop this package , and use it just for the freebies . does it still have all the options (PVR) or do they then take £10 per month then ? Do i have to tell Sky its a sky plus...

hi again anyone out there selling a working Pace 430 or 2600 box ? e-bays not really for me . send me a PM if u have one to sell .

Ok thanks whats the deal with Sky Plus . I am currently subscribing to the sports package so it should only cost me for the box , yes . doesn't this require another cable from the lnb to the tv ? Do i order / buy this through Sky or do i buy it seperately at thedigiboxshop.com , which is...

Its a common amstrad DX100 . does this mean that the box is knackered then ? living in sweden , whats the best replacement for it ? can i buy a Sky+ without the extra monthly charge ? Ive heard lots about DREAMCAST boxes , do they work with Sky ?

I cant turn on my Sky digibox when i press the power button , nothing happens . the power light stays on red (pressing maually and from remote) . Ive tried removing and reinserting the plug from the mains and removing the sky card , but nout . I have an oldish (3 years) Amstrad standard sky box...
