Little Green Giant Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 sky broadband is pretty **** hot tbh mate, If I was you I wouldnt change for the sake of maybe 5/10 pound a month. but I am also guessing you get the TV package as well?Try Plusnet. Depends on how much you use it etc? They do cheap packages from £6.50 right up to about £17.99.I left Sky aswell as they were nothing but problems. AOL, Tiscali are also ones to avoid. Anything basically owned by Talk Talk avoid.yeah we have the TV package too. paying nearly £40 a month, for internet, phone line (which we dont use) and sky+. which would be great if we could watch one channel and record another, which we cant, and record more than one channel at a time, which we cant!so basically, as long as we are watching the program, or on the channel that the program is playing on THEN and only then can we record it! B0LL0CKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0LL0CKS!sounds like only one input on your box is working. get an engineer out..I had a problem with my HD box... some channels started saying no satelite single received. I was also getting failed recordings... One of the power supplies in the box was starting to fail and couldn't set the 2nd tuner or something... Anyway... I got an engineer round who gave me a new HD box with a bigger hard drive... 250 instead of 160 and its a tad smaller and much quicker on the EPG.. My box was out of warranty so I had to pay a call out fee but I am glad I did... Edited April 14, 2011 by Putney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
