    Another Sky classic! On logging into my Sky account this morning, there was a red notice saying that it is 'unlikley' that after the 1st February they would be showing any of the Discovery Channels, which is really all I watch other than the free to air channels. After eventually getting...

    Advice Needed Bicycle Recommendation

    Advice Needed Bicycle Recommendation

    I saw with interest the $44,000.00 electric bike. I believe under uk law electric bikes must only have a 250w motor with a maximum speed of 15 mph. I attach a picture of my bike, which I ordered from Shanghai on the Monday and received it on the Thursday. It originally just had a 1000w rear...

    Installing Dishes In Spain for 2E Chit-Chat

    Hi Brian, I'm glad to see that at least other people have similar view re the correct method of measuring a dish, as I was starting to doubt myself. The dish in question is an offset and yes they have taken the vertical measurement, but as I said previously, my view is that if you measure the...

    Hi Huevos, One of the three people mentioned was a female pensioner that had originally bought a 1m dish from this company last year. Obviously when 1n was switched off she lost all her UK channels and then went back to them as they were offering to replace the dish for 1.37M for a cost of...
