I've just returned from working abroad for several months and find that my digibox doesn't offer ITV, Channel 4 or 5 any more. Has the card been switched off by Sky now that BBC is free to air, or has it just packed up. If the former will Sky 'energize' it for the free to view channels? Ian Smith

I have been getting "failed " recordings on a number of occasions over the last month as far as I can recall they seem to be recordings from BBC1. The latest one was British isles - a natural history last night at 9pm. I was watching another program at the time but did see the recording light on...

I received a letter recently from a firm purporting to offer protection against breakdown etc. Whilst I naturally lean towards not subscribing to these warranties, I did read some blurb to the effect that even during the first 12 months, not necessarily all repairs come free with a Digibox. Is...

Are they planning to have a nude shower scene in every episode? Interesting way to boost ratings. Also, how come Thelma can eat crisps when she's a ghost? That's just ridiculous. Wont people see a crisp packet levitating around the room?

I see that the 160GB Sky+ box is now on Sky's web site and they're taking orders. Does anybody know of any offers on this box, or do any Sky insiders know of any offers likely to be available in the next month or so?
