Another Sky card replacement? by
Terry Pinnell
A week or so ago I installed the replacement card sent to me by Sky.
Today I have a letter headed:
'FREESAT from Sky: Please Register now for your free replacement Sky
viewing card'
Was it an oversight that this wasn't included in the recent update?

Newbies get it cheaper? by
Andy[_10_]
Hiya,
I've been with Sky Digital 10 years and am paying £22.50 for the
family pack. I believe the packs that this comprises would work out
around £20 for people joining Sky.
how is that fair?
Has anyone tried getting a reduction on this basis?

Waking the box up by
Tony
Hi
Is there a knack to bringing the box out of standby?
I have a Sky+ box & sometimes it's a real effort getting it to wake up.
Whilst just pressing standby works half the time; for the rest it just
doesn't do anything. TV + Standby & Sky + Standby just doesn't do anything.
Help please.

like I have done many times onto a DVD it comes up with Copy Protection
detected and will not record. If I put in a VHS tape it records but...

Problem with Sky+ Box? by
Zhang Dawei
We've had Sky+ for about 4 months. Until a week or so ago, all was
well. Now, we find that the picture starts to wobble from side to
side in bands after being switched on for about a minute or so. We
can stabilise it by pressing the TV button on the remote, but that
means all the sky stuff won't...

Recording on Sky+ box by
Jim S
Can anyone tell me whether the Sky+ box can cope with recording programmes
when the times have been changed?
Virgin only seems to update its programme guide once a day so when timings
are changed because eg the golf overruns, then we lose the last minutes of
any programme set to record.

Top Gear failed by Sky+ by
Tennant Stuart
In last night's "Top Gear", why did Jeremy welcome Sky+ viewers
to the show well after their first item? Is it because these boxes
go wrong and start recording at a later time or something?
