    I understand that we only have 1 cable from the dish, and therefore can only watch the channel that is recording (the first major drawback of not buying a box through Sky) but I don't see why we can't access the Sky channels?


    meh.. just get a length of cable tv quality coax. Stick a connector on the end, plug it into the spare LNB socket on the dish, sling the cable over the roof or wherever the other one goes and then just stick it back in the house and wire it up to the second socket on the sky box.

    That assumes that the OP has a quad LNB. :rolleyes:

    I suppose they may be now but the older ones were singles

    Sorry? :confused:


    Switched the box off at the 230v mains, waited 30 seconds and switch back on.

    Also have you checked the system details via the menu, see if it displays the viewing card number?
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
