sky just seems to increase their prices whenever they wish.
I was told the channel price is fixed for my 12 month contract. few months later sky put the price up :mad: |
Can I not tempt anyone with a dodgy box then? ;)

I haven't researched it, although have been tempted - being handy with a soldering iron and that ;) I do get all the sky non premium channels in the bedroom set top box though, as well as on the £35 a month main HD box in the living room. I aint telling though as they normally want an absurd £10 a month for this duplication (as if I had 2 pairs of eyes!). That's as far as my Robin Hood-ness goes ;)

So who's signal do these boxes work on, Virgin/NTL or Sky ?
I've had a little look on a famous bidding site and cannot find any ? |

Well it wont be in HD mate!!! You are just using the second RF output of the box, and it is a good solution - although both TV's will have to be on the same channel and its probably THE worse output for picture quality. That's £120 in the bank ;) D
So thats dolby 5.1 down-mixed to mono and 720p/1080i resolution downscaled to 576i. (translated: no better than the picture/sound from a 1980's TV :D ) |
Search eurovox on a famous bidding site ;)

Personally, I don't condone stealing from Mr Branston-Pickle and putting the prices up for the honest subscriber, etc etc :nono: |

Also the RF outputs are Mono sound on a lot of boxes as teh modulator doesn't support NICAM.

Apparently Virgin now own some of these boxes, and they are now blocking them every day, so new numbers are having to be generated daily now
|
You just need the updated software and it does it automatically.

I thought the 9v trick only worked for about 4 movies ?
The down side is that if you ever reconnect the phone line, you'll get billed for them..... |
