    To HD or not HD

    Are you in or out of contract with your existing SKY+ subscription ?. I had a SKY HD box that I bought myself, however I did not have the HD package as I just wanted the additional space on the hard drive to record on for the kids. This box went faulty a couple of months ago, I spoke to SKY and...

    Standby....

    I recently got a rather large electricity bill and whilst I'm still investigating the cause, I thought that I would do some research on energy saving in the household. One topic that came up time and time again, was electrical equipment left on standby. As a result I bought a Belkin Conserve...

    SKY HD Box Issue.....

    I've searched a few other forums and I have completed a Planner Rebuild and turned the power off and on again for the LNB, but still no luck. It's strange that I can view BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel4, Channel5 perfectley, but as soon as I get to SKY 1, SKY2 or SKY 3 the mage is badly pixalated.

    SKY HD Box Issue.....

    Update: the issue seems to be only happening on certain channels SKY 1, Living, SKY Sports etc... but fine on others Channel 4, BBC 2, ITV2. Anyone else experiencing the problems ?, I'm stating to think that maybe the box is not the problem.

    SKY HD Box Issue.....

    Just started having problems with a SKY HD box I bought from a local dealer about 18 months ago. The channels go all pixelated and it does not make good viewing over a period of time. I've checked all the connections and I have a good signal, therefore I've assumed that its the box itself.... I...

    SONY46x4500 or KRP500A or SONY 46Z5500

    For SD it depends how far away from the screen you are, but for Sports SKY HD is awesome. I'm the proud owner of a KRP-500a, and I wouldn't consider any set over this.

    Recommendations for 50+ LCD

    empi, I can understand your reservations about the cost, as I had exactly the same issues when I was looking to upgrade my existing Pionner PDP-428D. I did a considerable amount of research and auditioned lots of different manufacturers at the time and not one of them came close to my existing...
