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? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

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?

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. TonyB

Hi I have just noticed that I now appear to have a problem recording any prog that is in a Sky package i.e. Sky Sports 1, Sky 1 etc. When I try to record 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...

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...

I purchased one of these gizmos and its working fine. Is the Red LED on the RF cable "box" supposed to stay lit all the time ,even when the Sky box is in standby ? Mike

I have a basic Sky box in room A with a TV. I also have a TV in room B with a coaxial lead from room A but not connected to the Sky box. If I want to watch the Sky progs on the room B TV is it possible to just connect the cable to the RF Out of the Sky box in room A and do any menus have to be...

I know I can use the main one, but I just wondered if someone here know of a 'secret' number that might get the process moving more efficiently? :p -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham (change 'invalid83261' to 'blueyonder' to email me)

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. -- Jim S ...

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? Tennant Stuart -- ____ ____ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ ____ (_ _)( ___)( \( )( \( ) /__\ ( \( )(_ ...
