Forgive my apparent ignorance on the subject, I looked into it briefly just before I got freesat installed at the beginning of 2011 but other more important things took over during that year which meant I couldn't keep up with SES' launch and decommissioning schedule.

Just been reading, I take it 2F is likely to also replace 2D?

As there is a BT of passion for the old BSB round here I thought I'd share this link I found as I'm quite interested in old TV advertising I have no connection with the site whatsoever , just sharing out of interest, hope this is ok mods/admins _http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/skytv/bskyb.html...

I think your TV has to be a 3D TV as the firmware on the set has to be able to recognise 3D broadcasts and overlay one image over the top of the other, on a non 3D set you will only get a vertically split screen as the input from two camera lenses is broadcast side by side as 3D cameras have two...

Now I've found this forum I'll start looking for poor abandoned squarials round here (they seem to be an endangered species though) I remember watching BSB when I was a kid though we received it via a local cable operation, it did seem quite good compared to the dross that is Sky

As above really, I was helping a customer with an application I support and we couldn't get it to connect on one particular version but it worked on the other (which is completely encrypted from server to client endpoint so appears as a TLS traffic stream to traffic management) I found out who...

When I was ringing round for quotes from local installers for a Freesat install that would provide 6 feeds (3 rooms but would support PVRs) I did a little research beforehand and found there was such a device as an octoLNB. When I rang them I asked whether they could quote for setting up the...

Watched some of the BBC highlights but am pretty miffed at the rights to show the live races going to Sky but Bernie Ecclestone couldn't care less about genuine fans or the sport. I don't subscribe to Sky as I don't watch a great deal of TV as I was until last year a shift worker so a Freesat...

We're all doomed, doomed I tell you. Now where did I leave my tinfoil lined hard hat? Joking aside its nice to see such things are still being discovered, apparently though Prof. Brian Cox is fed up dispelling the myth that this is the rogue planet that some say the Mayans predicted would...

Hi All Not sure how many of you have the above box but here goes. Bought this box last year as needed to switch to digital and freeview is hit and miss and wanted something with a DVD drive. Had one problem where it just came up no service on a Saturday evening and the weather was perfectly...
