Over the last few weeks I have had problems with faile recordings - particularly where I have started a recording by simply pressing 'R' whilst a programme is on. It seems to record OK at the time (I have even tried restarting it from the planner while the programme is still on) and even shows...

Hi I had a phone call from Sky last Friday offering me Film Four for the reduced rate of £3.50 over the Christmas period. I agreed but they did not say if this is for the week,is it? Also looking through the T.V. brochures I do not think I will want to stay with it as there is hardly any films...

I recently had the movie channels turned on and today realised there seems to be a problem with the aspect ratio which was not there last time we got them, the movies showing in widescreen are not automatically dropped to 4.3 but kept in full widescreen, hence the left of the picture disappears off...

After "upgrading" to Sky+, I encountered lots of problems when attempting to use the interactive services (ie - I couldn't access them). The box didn't seem to recognised that it was connected to the phone line (which it was). Numerous calls to Sky all ended on the same note (that they will look...

When I power up the digibox one of the component colours seems to be missing, making the picture dull with a blue tinge. After between 20 seconds and 5 minutes it sorts itself out, so I have not bothered to try and get an engineer look at it. This seems to be a problem with the rgb, as if I watch...

All - Has anyone managed to get Sky to let them upgrade to Sky+ from std Sky on the 'New Users' deal? The difference is outrageous for existing, loyal customers. I don't really want to have to cancel & renew under the wife's name..... TIA

Having just got Sky+, I have a spare Sky box. I connected it up in another room but only get a few channels (not even ITV 1). I dont really want to pay the extre tenner per month to get all the channels on my package. Is there a card that allows just the freeview channels. I believe there...
