I've just received Sky+ and so far am very impressed. I notice that when a program is recorded, Sky+ includes an extra 5 mins (approx) at the start and end (presumably to ensure that the whole program is captured). There is a copy function to copy to a recordable device (Video, DVD etc). This is...

I have just moved & cancelled my Sky subscription but did not take my minidish with me. Can I use my Pace digibox without the dish, for example to pick up freeview channels through a normal aerial?

I watched 'A Beautiful Mind' live on Sky Movies Premier last night (Sat 20th 2000): the closing credits had not only a voiceover but the credits were folded to half the screen and a noisy trailer put on the right half. It's the first time I've seen as Sky Movies channel do this and it's a worrying...

I have a digibox, all channels are fine until I use box office. After I pay to watch a film and start watching the picture may flicker slightly and the colour/brightness fades in and out during the whole film making it difficult to watch. If I switch to any another channel, including the other...

Hi, i'm a sky+ newbie, and am curious to know if the veterans have found they have completely changed habits? eg - do you still watch live broadcasts directly, or everything via the box with a bit of a delay so you can FFwd adverts? do you record loads of stuff, simply coz you can, and then not...

I decided to sell my trusted TIVO now that Sky + sub is free (sold it after 12 minutes on EBay). Rang Sky on Monday and quoted the £1 deal for Sky + and was told that it would be fitted today Thursday.

Glad I was *watching in the background* again :-) Looks like the thug that threw the paint bomb was a cover-up so they could swap body-doubles under cover of darkness. Off to an all night cafe for a good nosh-up no doubt ;-)

Just got one of these off a mate for a fiver. Last time I saw it the unit was working fine, however it had been left unplugged for several months. He's since had the dish taken down (lives in a grade 2 listed building and got ordered by the local council to remove it) so we were unable to test it...
