The only thing is the menu still shows all the channels, even the ones I don't get (eg sky 1) which is really annoying and makes surfing and finding channels I do have tedious. Anyone know of a way to hide unwanted channels in the menu?

Rubbish programmes on many channels: why?
It is a long time since I watched TV, but I have good memories of "Play for Today" and the Dennis Potter dramas, and some great documentaries that really made you think...

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?
