not sure what you mean but i just noticed for the viasat baltic sub the viasat xtra channels are now blocked...anyone else had the same?

thanks for the info! i suppose i'll look into getting a separate dish for this, seeing as there is space and they aren't that expensive...

just got the viasat box in frankfurt-am-main, have a multifocus type dish (not sure about the brand), about 90cm, which has 5E, 13E and 28E. the latter 2 i receive fine, as you would expect, but only get viasat north beam every now and then (europe beam seems to be fine), ie looks like this is...

just recently had a multifocus dish with 5e and 13e feeds set up, unfortunately didn't have the box yet then, and of course now that i have the box, a problem has emerged. sky italia box fails to pick up the signal. i think this is because the 5e is set up in the 1st position in the disecq...

thanks for all the info. yes, i have a UK address to which the sky sub is linked. obviously my phone line cable is not connected in germany, but this shouldn't be a problem. i called sky to pair the card and box, however, when the sky sports channel didn't activate immediately, the sky person...

in frankfurt, dish is multifocus (about 100cm). i haven't had sky, but only FTA. ITV, BBC etc all working fine. and indeed no, i haven't done a forced download, how would i do that? does this also have somit to do with the fact that for some reason, there is no Channel 5 in my EPG?

i recently acquired a 2nd hand (amstrad) sky+ HD box, and then i bought a new subscription from sky. they sent me the card and i called them to activate it, however, for some reason, activation failed and i now have to wait for a new card. just wondering how common this is, and is the card...

i'm going to be moving to frankfurt in germany, and would like to set up the following system: 5e 13e 19e 28e (this is the most important, with 2d) how large a dish would i need; would a normal multifocus one do the job? also, is the direction i need the same where i live now (finland), ie has...

thanks mate, but how do you change the primary language? don't seem to be able to find that...

i don't seem to be able to get english language commentary on my sky italia box for a few weeks now (all italian instead), even though i have english as the primary audio language - anyone else have this problem and knon how to fix it? thanks!

i was under the impression that the sky HD box needs to be connected to a phone line at all times - judging by some of the posts here that is not the case? so if i had a HD sub (or knew someone who had it to be precise since i don't live in the uk), and bought a second hand box, could i call...

i wonder if anyone could help me with a few questions as re getting sky HD abroad. how difficult is it to do this? do i understand right the HD box needs to be connected to a phone line in the UK and sky actually keep an eye on this? or is there a way round this, ie. if i have a mate in the uk...

ta for that, changed it in the menu and now working no worries.

my box (and old pace one, don't know the exact model) has been going into standby mode automatically for a couple of weeks now, every day and every night without fail. this is of course extremely annoying in case i want to timer record somit. any idea what might be causing it; could there be a...

thanks for the info! as a temporary solution, can i just swap the cables in the disecq switch so that 13e is on A or B, or does this mess up the system somehow? at the moment, i have 1w, 5e, 13e and 19e (from A to D). also, would you know how to get the remote work so that it doesn't interfere...
