Angelo: The box will work anywhere within the satellite footprints, but the dish needs to be pointing at the 28.2 degrees east satellite cluster of Eurobird 1, Astra 2A, Astra 2B and Astra 2D.

Sky are lying to you, it is simply contractually bound not to use the subscription cards outside the UK and ROI.

Mel: A Freesat+ or Freesat+HD box. You just remove the Sky+ box and replace it directly.

Therese: Yes, but you will need a spare output on the dish. You will have a "quad LNB" (four outputs) if you have Sky+, but otherwise you will need to fit a quad-LNB.

You just need a Freesat or Freesat HD box, no card is required for these boxes.

Graham: Apologies. I would probably say the best thing to do is to hang on for the 15th June 2011, when the COM channels are final power levels, and the analogue interference issues are removed.

Griff: No. You must replace the Sky+ box with a Freesat+ or Freesat+HD box if you want to play/pause/record.

Bally python: Because they don't care about quality, they care about making a profit.

"Quality" programmes cost more to make but do not attract sufficient additional viewers, reducing or removing the profit, whilst increasing the risk.

illiad: If a device fails within the first two years, you are entitled to a free and immediate replacement under the law.

The definition of a monopoly does not mean "100% of the market", it means "dominates" the market in such a way it can distort the ability of others.

Bally python: It worth pointing out that BBC One costs £1,373m a year to fund, BBC TWO £575m, ITV1 about £1bn, Channel 4 about £600m.

Most digital channels are much less - the large ones such as E4 has about £60m, More4 about £30m.

Dave, for example, has revenues of about £4m. That's about 1/350th of that of BBC One.
