According to the FAQ, the 'phone connection isn't obligatory in certain instances. We're about to take out a new subscription, IF the contract ever arrives, having always been free to viewers. We've had the box about 2 years. Do we/must we have the line connected? We've redecorated and ripped the...

Just after the 22:57 weather, the News 24 jingle got faded up slowly, but no one faded across video. The weather guy started moving around, shuffling stuff off screen, turned around... turned off a light which made the weather screen go dark and a crooked reflection or something of the map could...

If your phone rings showing 'number withheld' and when you pick it up the line goes dead after a few seconds of silence you may think its a call from someone trying to be a nuisance. Don't worry it could just be the sky automatic dialling system - apparently the computer rings you then works out...

Alf, I believe that you get the sky equipment at a discount because a media company pay for it in exchange for viewing habit info. If you do not connect to a phone line then you probably need to pay the full £120 or so for the box and dish. So you could do this by ordering from...

Does anyone know the name of the music that Sky often use on their football coverage, usually the live coverage. It is music, and no words. There is drums, brass instruments and an occasional whistle being blown in the music. Thanks in advance, Dave.

How are they doing ?

Hi, An engineer has just left after upgrading Sky+ for me. The system is not working properly after trying 3 boxes and a different LNB. Sky are sending a new card as they think this could be the problem. It seems a bit strange though because the problem is this: I can record any program that I...

Taken from a post below, its implied that Sky maybe scrapping the monthly fee for Sky+. Anyone know if there is any truth in it. -- Scott www.toptravelsites.net www.myeyes-youreyes.co.uk

Hi, If I were to upgrade to Sky+, what would happen to my current digibox? I've had this one about 3 years at this address. Do I get to keep it? Also, can I sign up for Sky+ at my local satellite installer or do I have to do it through them?

I've been reading the speculation about the dropping of the £10 charge for sky+ If this happens I think there could be quite a rush for the product. Is it worth ordering now to avoid a long wait ? If I were to subscribe now would I be commiting to paying the charge for 12 months even if they do...
