A question about : Problem extending Sky cable

I've rearranged our living room this week, and already have spare cable/connectors. I've connected it all up, and the sky box doesn't receive a satellite signal. I've checked enough of the copper wire is peeking out the middle, and that the connectors are done up tightly, and I've used 2 different cables, but still not working. When the original sky cable goes in the back, it works.

Ideas anyone?:confused:

A question about : PVR and Sky

Hi

We have a PVR which is gathering dust, as we have Sky+. The reception around here is very poor, so I was wondering whether we could get the PVR conected to sky somehow?

It seems a bit extreme to fork out for an expensive extended aerial for the spare room.

Any thoughts?

Best answers:

• A freeview PVR? It won't work with Sky no matter what you try.
• Thanks, just thought it was worth asking the question as its not being used at the moment.

A question about : TV with built in freeview HD recorder

Do you get any TV's with a freeview HD recorder built in? Seems silly to have a TV with freeview built in and then have to buy a box with freeview just so it will record, but I can't find one!

Alternatively do you get a cinema surround Blue ray player with freeview recorder built in? Can find the player with the freeview built in, but not with the sound.

A question about : Tesco 37" full HD LCDTV for Ј299.99

Tesco have a 37 technica LCD Freeview HD Ready 1080p Priced instore at Ј329.99, this is incorrect, the proper price is only Ј299.99 when you get to the till, also a voucher for a free sky hd plus box is included(subscription required)

A question about : Say no to Sky's 0844 numbers campaign

At SAYNOTO0870.COM we have been publishing geographical (01/02) alternative numbers to Sky's 0844 numbers. We have got to the point where they only last a day or two before they are taken out of service.

I am not a Sky customer, but I am given to understand certain changes to mean a telephone call, such as changing package, and in particular moving downwards or cancelling the paid-for part of the service. This is because the website and the red button only allow customers to add services.

A question about : Sky multi-room. Can be multihouse??!!

Having had one query dealt with so satisfactorily here, thought I'd try another. I have Sky multiroom at present [two rooms]. Son has moved out, to a house with a dish, but no arial. This afternoon I took along the spare Sky box [which we own] expecting at least to be able to pick up the free channels. BUT the box doesn't seem to realise it's moved house, and is still getting all the channels I've signed up to here at home.

A question about : Samsung Plasma TV won't default to HD connection

Any ideas how I can change the settings to default to the HDMI slot when I turn on sky HD?

This was never a problem when I had sky plus connected through scart, every time the box was turned on the tv jumped to the signal being output by the skybox.

However the new sky box is now connected via hdmi cable but each time the tv is turned on again I have to manually find the hdmi channel.

It takes a few seconds, but can be a bit frustrating doing it each and every time.
