john mcarthur : The link sent would seem to have been compacted by Briantists site resulting in "not found", and so this is a second attempt.

Paul GRANEY: Yes, as your HD sports channels will simply be displayed as SD images in exactly the same way as on the old Sky box.
It should though be pointed out that Sky+ HD boxes require twin feeds from the dish to enable the recording side of the box to operate correctly, was your old Sky box a Sky+ version?

Briantist: Yes! many thanks for pointing this out, apologies for aspersions relating to your site.
Although its rather puzzling as to how the colon appeared at the end of the URL, especially as the offending URL wasn't actually typed in but via "copy and paste" from address bar. Anyway, I will watch out for this potential problem in the future.

john mcarthur : Update re: Made in Teesside. I having been in contact with the company concerned with operating this channel, the outcome being that they are presently negotiating with the company that provides the capacity for additional Freeview channels with the intention of launching the programme in autumn of this year.

Karen McIntyre: I am personal acquaint with the vagaries of reception along most of the Ayrshire coastlines, likewise can say, that about the only way of achieving satisfactory "all year round" (or 99.9% anyway) reception in areas such as yours (and beyond) is by changing over to Freesat, as problems of the nature such as presently being experienced will never really vanish for any great length of time.

Karen McIntyre: Although in areas such as yours the Freesat route is indeed the best way to go, as reliable reception is virtually guaranteed using this mode, heavy thundery type downpours or snow on the bowl of the dish being about the only things that can affect it, although only for a one or two minutes or so in the case of a downpour. But though purely out of curiosity, on the occasions where your reception has gone downhill, are you aware as to whether or not your neighbours are also experiencing similar difficulties with their reception?

ann: The only programme channels affected by cancelling your subscription are those dedicated to a Sky package, you can test this out for yourself by removing the viewing card and running through the programmes that you normally view, any dedicated to a package will trigger a "please insert card" message,
The other thing that should be pointed out being, that you will lose the ability to record or playback anything recorded on the hard drive, as Sky will disable access to this side of the box.

Brenda Newby: If you reside in an area close to the Waltham transmitter then the addition of a booster box could actually make the situation worse, therefore, should the booster box be easily accessible try bypassing it by connecting the lead from the aerial directly into the EE box.
However, if the start of the problem coincided with the installation of the EE box, then you may not get over the problem referred to, as the tuner in the EE box is possibly less able to cope with the type of interference you are experiencing from the trains, especially if they are of the 25Kv overhead wire variety, as their current collection pantographs radiate massive levels of interference.
Of course this isn't a particularly good week for trying tests antway, as engineering work is being carried out at Waltham starting today.

Barry : With reference to the connection / recording facilities on your Bush TV, it should be appreciated that the USB recording feature is purely operable from the TV's internal Freeview tuner and "not" from any device (ie: Sky box) that happens to be connected into any of the TV's input sockets.
My only reason for pointing this out is because of you having made reference to a viewing card, which its assumed is the Sky boxes viewing card? my thinking being that you are possibly intending to record a programme from the Sky box into a flash drive via the TV, which of course cannot be done.

john mcarthur : If you click on the undermentioned link this will take you to a website where you will be able to check the progress of Made in Teesside, however it doesn't look to promising as far it starting soon is concerned, as its only on the 2015/16 Phase 2 roll out list.
It does though confirm / indicate that it will be broadcast on Bilsdale's Mux C24 on LCN8
