Press TV guide button and just have a browse, you will soon get used to the
numbers of your favourite channels.

O-K as long you know MOST interactive services using the phone with Sky are
chargeable!

As for freezing,You yet to come to terms with heavy rain,Snow and bird ****
on the LNB, Heavy winds knocking your dish out and so on.
Oh...And a fortune for replacement boxes when they magically go faulty after
twelve months!

I think you'll soon get used to the extra crap channels that sky throw on
their platform as FTA..I doubt anyone would actually pay for such content.

The novelty soon wears off :-/

Sky don't throw those channels on their platform, those channels are broadcast
by non-sky broadcasters on the same satellites Sky use for their own channels,
Sky has no control over those channels, and they must allow them to have an
EPG number on their proprietary system if they pay the required fee.

Dodgy boxes? I had the same Amstrad for 5 years and it still works now.

As for freezing,
Freezing? Hmm, I ust be one of the "lucky" ones then, I certainly do not
have any freezing on my digibox.

You yet to come to terms with heavy rain,
Not if it is aligned correctly

Snow
Not if it is aligned correctly

and bird **** on the LNB
Hmmm, I've had my dish up for approx 5 years now, and not one bird has ****
on it! Damn, I must be unlucky here then

Heavy winds knocking your dish out
Not if it is fixed correctly.

And a fortune for replacement boxes when they magically go faulty after
twelve months!
Never had any of my 2 boxes do that! 1 is 3 years old, the other (at my
ex-wifes) is 4 years old. Both still going strong.

Sky do not "throw" those channels on there. They have to by law accept these
channels and allow them on their platform. They would get done my Ofcom if
they prevented them.

Best of luck
If nothing goes wrong Sky is OK but if you need anything sorted from an
installation that fails to a replacement viewing card or two that don't work
to an overcharging problem than best take a month off to try and get through
to and get some sense out of customer services. Their favourite tricks are
cutting you off, diverting you from queue to queue or transferring you to a
department that is closed.

Give it time ;-)

Ah so the clouds are black, There's a thunderstorm and you get a perect
picture...Hello Mr Jetson.

Snow
Not if it is aligned correctly

"You canne change the law of physics Jim" If a dish is theoretically
mis-shaped or buried almost in thick snow the picture will disappear.

and bird **** on the LNB
Hmmm, I've had my dish up for approx 5 years now, and not one bird has

Perhaps the birds are tidy where you are..or constipated?

Heavy winds knocking your dish out

Say that to the really strong winds, Eventually it will work the dish loose
especially in a pretty high,open area.

I doubt it, All the crap channels need to do is say "We are NOT paying to be
on the EPG" So basically Sky shoves em' on to keep the channel count up and
of course the revenue coming in.
We need a good meteorite shower doing a bit of damage up there as well..I'd
love to see Sky panic a while!
