[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 778438, member: 199791"] Using the "Other channels" option on the sky box would get you some channels, but not all of them, and there's no guarantee it'll remember them either, your best bet is to use the sky box for sky and a real satellite box for real satellite TV... :D And using a real satellite box would mean you could throw in a DiSEqC switch to switch between the two feeds, something a sky box cannot do, and you'd probably be able to set up the switch so that the 28e feed is on input 1 so that when the real box is powered down or in Standby, you could loop through to the sky box and use it as normal, though I've never tried that so can't be 100% sure of success... :) Pretty much any non-sky receiver will have DiSEqC functions, so plenty to choose from... :) [/QUOTE]
