I got Sky+ installed last week. Really happy with it apart from a problem with Dolby Digital. If a program is being transmitted in DD then it takes about a minute for the amp to pick up the DD signal. Is my box faulty? I thought it was my amp so I went out and bought a new Sony Receiver......

Am I correct in assuming that when copying from hard drive to VCR I am allowed to watch any other program that is on the hard drive while this copy function is working, but what I am not allowed to do is use the copy function and watch any another sky channel, so if you use the copy function and do...

I am considering ordering Sky + online in order to get the installation for £1. 1) When I order online will I be given the opportunity to say that I want my original digibox move elsewhere ? 2) How much do Sky charge for this ? 3) Has anyone experienced any problems whilst ordering Sky + online...

OK, just flicked on to nation 277's Flipside. 4 people sat around a TV with Sky remotes flicking around the numbers and talking about what's on other channels. They are basically encouraging people to tune away and watch other channels! No microphone control either, lots of loud coughing and you...
