Hi Guys, I have a FTV card, which I didn't manage to get activated by BBC before they stopped doing this. Can anyone tell me is there any way I can get it activated now ? Thanks, Ray.

Are sky minidishes meant to shake from side to side when the wind blows???

hi all. seeing as im moving home, i thought now would be a good time to get a new sky subs. what are my options? assume that if i get sky+ ill get at least both movie channels. is there any reason i would go for a sky+ box over a "sky+ and spare digibox" (apart from the 10 quid mirror subs)? i...

Richard said this: A sky+ box is effectively a 'computer' and as such has a hard drive, a fan which is a little noisey and allows you to record some programs (how many hours???) With the standard 40GB hard drive you can get approximately 20 hours of recording time. The actual figure varies...

Ive read the Sky package deals on both the website and leaflets. One thing I dont see mentioned is if we were to subscribe to the £18.50 deal do we still recieve all the "lesser" channels. At the moment we have the full pack for the 1st month, if we drop to the 18.50 pack do we lose only the...

As the title suggests, I've currently got Sky (normal digibox, family pack deal) and am moving in about a month. I want SKY installing in the new house which currently has no dish so my questions are :- Is it cheaper to cancel and then get it reinstalled or pay a private firm to move the...

I've moved into a new house and phoned Sky for the £1 install offer (as the website kept crashing). The Customer Service guy told me that I couldn't get an installation as the previous owners were Sky customers and had not paid their bill, so the house is Blacklisted by Sky. I asked the CS guy...

Is anyone else having problems on digital satellite? For about the past week the image has been freezing and going pixellated, with attendant pops and squeaks. It's happening across the transponders (Sky One & Mix, C5, E4 are the worst stations). Is this a reception problem, a digibox problem or...

Just had Sky+ installed and the engineer told my wife he couldn't programme the remote to work with my Thomson 32WF45UG. (My Sky remote had to be specially bought from Thomson). Does anybody know the correct code for this? Thanks in advance
