New Sky customer questions
So I've just moved over to Sky from Virgin. The first problem is that when the router and phone line were installed, presumably by BT, they've just fed the cable through a hole in the front of the house and dumped the router and a pile of cables on the floor of the front room. My wife was in at the time and asked them to…

Despite fiddling with picture setting on both Sky and the TV the picture is always a bit "squashed". Setting ratio to 16:9 on both TV and Sky output helped a…

Additional sky box
I am having sky installed this week. I am getting a sky plus box hd box in the living room and an additional sky box in a second room. If I purchase a second hand box and ask the engineer nicely to put a cable through to the third room, would this give me the channels I have on the other two boxes or would it just act as a…
