Sadly, I am unable to offer this personal service at the moment.

MAGGIE: A couple of additional differences:

After cancelling, the box will show all in the guide that you *could* get if you re-subscribed, not just the ones you can get without subscribing. A box only lists the free-to-air channels. That might make it simpler to use.

This site has a page to compare between channels available through Freesat and through Sky's free service: Compare Freesat and Freesat-from-Sky TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

If you have Sky+, you should be aware that the pause, time-shift and recording features will be disabled when you stop subscribing. You also won't be able to play back anything previously recorded. I believe you can still pay a reduced rate of £10 per month to keep these features but you have to ask for it. If you still want these features, you'll have to get a Freesat+ recorder.

I appear to have lost all of my HD , which start on Channel 50+ on my Panasonic TV with built in .

When I retune my TV sometimes they are there and they work and then I get the message '' and when I retune my Freeview HD TV again they have dropped off altogether.

Is there a reason for this?

My postcode is IG8 7AX - Woodford Green, Essex

Thanks.

JB38 Thanks for your question. I am looking at the Humax PVR-9300T. I have a Panasonic TX-24DX1 TV. It has 2 connectors. I think I can run the Box into one and the box into the other. Then depending which I switch on I can watch Sky or Freeview. However the Humax box only appears to have SCART connections so I cannot record Sky, but I don't think that will be a problem. Am I right?

Duncan: Yes, you can certainly connect the Humax as you have suggested, but however, unfortunately as far as recordings are concerned no PVR device, no matter brand it might be, can record from an external source as they are all designed to record purely from their internal tuners.

You would have to purchase a DVD / HD (hard drive) recorder to do what you want, as the DVD side of it need not be used and you could record straight into its hard drive, likewise play back from it.

jb38 Thanks for that. You did not mention the connection but from your answer I assume that the TV will cope with either input.

Duncan: Yes, just to confirm that or anything else that connects via a lead can connect into the second scart socket on your Panasonic, although you "might" have to select that input (AV2?) via your input selector menu as I dont have the manual to hand just now for purposes of checking this, although its only usually AV1 on equipment that has an auto-switching to externally connected equipment on switch on
facility.

Last week, I bought a Toshiba HD TV. I've no complaints about the set, which provides an excellent and good sound .

However, I've noticed that when I watch either of the BBC HD , there are what might be described as random, momentary drop-outs, or what look like fleeting fades.
No apparent problem with the other two HD channels.

Any ideas? I live in the Norfolk area.

Thanks.
