Things to know about Sky+ before getting too confident

Posted on September 12, 2008 | 2 comments |

To work, Sky+ (or Sky+ HD) needs to have two feeds to your satellite dish. So if you just only have a wall socket connection to a communal dish in your block of flats, rather than your own dish, it won't work.

Curses. Foiled again.

    Not quite true - I lived in a communal flat and only had one feed, but it still worked most of the time. Granted, I had to watch what I was recording, and couldn't record two programmes at the same time, but it did mostly work. Although I'd have to power-recycle the box quite often - say once or twice a week.

    That's handy to know, and would have been good info for the woman on the phone to impart, but that's still a deal-breaker for me. Cursed Sky. Cheers, though.
