Whats in the Sky+ pack? by
Nigel
I'm having Sky+ installed this friday ... yippee!
Can anyone let me know what's in the box in terms of leads, so that I know
what to buy up front. In particular:
a) LNB Down Leads to plug into back of box - I assume the installer sorts
that out
b) SCART leads - any if so how many

Disk Bargraph by
MerlinP
Could some knowlegeable person kindly tell me how to see the
"Bargraph" assocoated with the Sky+ Disk?
I have fitted a new 120GB maxstor drive, but the normal display shows
36% available, which is surely not correct.
A Google search showed nothing of help. Thanks.

I've ordered Sky+... by
Nel
....and I've currently got a digibox which I've had for over 2 years.
When the engineer comes, will he just replace the LNB or will he put a brand
new dish up? I'd like to maybe give my box to my mother as she has a very
poor analogue reception and I reckon I can put the dish up myself and get...
