alter the hd output you have several choices
576i
720p
1080I
1080p

start at 576i and work up

your tv might not cope with the higher resoloutions

leave it on the highest that works

I think I understand what you mean but I could be wrong

The picture you describe as grainy is the picture from your sky box downstairs and you use state

we also use the freview hd builtin to the upstairs tv

Im assuming what you mean is you take your sky HD remote upstairs and can change channels on the sky box

Am I correct so far?

Sounds like the connection from the sky box downstairs is poor - but good enough to pass power to the sky eye you have?
or the sky output is on the same frequency as a nearby receiving transmitter (cross modulation)

but me Brian and JB need more info about how your system is set up to offer some advice

am I on the right track or not

Keep up the good work - there is some drivel on here but pick through and there is some good stuff and I think you (we) genuinely help people who are willing to search and ask pertinent questions

as Brian says

Best is SKY HD (if you want to line Mr Murdochs pockets that is)

other solution would be a HUMAX (or equivalent) Freesat HD recorder
No sky channels but a range of free to air decent channels with no monthly subs

I remember the last big storm I think it was Feb 2008 - yep was like god playing skittles with the aerials - I know people not in the trade don't want hear it - But it is our jobs and its what puts food on the table!

So yes please a Good ol storm at night and calm days!

Incidentally I bought a new van 2 weeks back - bit apprehensive as its a 5 seater thought id get rid of the car hence 5 seats with glass all the way round (Vito Traveliner) (oh go on --- its in Jasper blue)

It has a Tail gate rather than 2 Barn doors like previous vans - well---- built an aerial up today in the P'ing down rain - it was like being under a Giant umbrella - Was very nice!

Brian - I hope do help with the None Drivel related stuff!

quick question - I have had magnetic signs made up rather than a full Sign write ( as I intend to drive it through france on mini breaks ) - but ive only put my mobile number on it rather that and my land line - the reason for this is that diverting a call from my land line to my mobile which is on permanently isn't exactly cheap

Would this put potential customers off not seeing a land line on the side of a trades persons vehicle

or would they not pay it any thought and just call the number if they needed that line of work?

Doing a BT vision job tomoz - customer moved from SKY - checked the BT box out other day - has no RF output - says something about it in the menu but no way of enabling it
She also wants to control it from her bedroom like she did with sky
So having to go to the expense of installing an RF modulator and a a Tv Link Plus (http://www.tvlink.co.uk/tvlinkplus.htm so she can control BT vision from bed
bit of a Palaver don't you think
