I fine that i need to de-static my sky box once a month by unplugging for ten mins or so. That tends to make me not have any fails. Do you do that?

Dont see the point in paying a £10 for a better picture when mine is ok.

Don't pay for the installation !! I didn't

Call them to cancel your sky subscription. Tell them that you want HD but that you feel that you're being ripped off with the additional charges. Offer to take HD but ask them to install it for free. Tell them that you WILL cancel if you don't get this deal. I still paid the £29 fee but got my account credited with the same ammount (the system didn't allow him to give it to me for nothing so this is how we agreed the deal). He had to go off to the speak to the Manager to get it authorised, or maybe he just read his newspaper for a few minutes but i got the deal i wanted in the end.

Hope this helps. Oh and by the way, that step by step guide to get ITV HD was dead easy. Sorted it now. Thanks to the poster.

Did that with sky+....told em if i didnt get it for nowt they could stick it up thier arris.........got sky+ fitted end of the wk.

no I haven't but will give anything a try

Give it a go mate and see how it goes, mine has been fine since ive started to do that.

just ordered hd and was wondering if they run more wires to set this up as all my wires are behind my walls as we had the house plasterboarded and plastered with the wires all now hidden will this be a problem thanks

If you already have Sky+ there's no change. If you don't, they'll need to run a second lead from the dish to the Sky box.

we havnt got sky+ but weve ordered sky+and hd box combined will this still require an extra wire then?

Yes. You'll enjoy having the Sky+ as much as the HD.

cheers mate just didnt want wires showing thats why we put them behind the plasterboard

But i dont think she'll enjoy having the new wires and the living room re-plastered.

Shit happens

Bit of a pain but worth it like I say.

they will be going under the floorboards and how many wires does it take you put wires?

If you already have 1 line down they will install 1 more only. They might fit you a new dish as well depending on how old your old one is.

oh just the one wire its gonna be a nightmare though as my sky box is in the cupboard under the stairs too its rigged up to all the tvs in the house

See what you mean sounds tricky does that. I'm intrigued - do you go to the cupboard eqaach time to change Sky channels ?

yes bit of a pain but worth it to have all the wires hidden

i wouldnt like to be the sky engineer

its on a shelf on the wall as you open the cupboard door

Dont think the sky engineer will re-wire it to show in all of your rooms still without you buying the sky multi-room package.

guess it will have to be short skirt and low cut top then

I a going to give him a cup of tea, and a chocolate digestive (hoping he sets ITV up for me

)

let me know if it works then when they come and set mine up a week on monday i will try that too

Now where did I put that Sky engineers outfit?
