Do it! You wouldn't believe the amount of programs available in english on other sats and the camel racing on 26e is always good for a laugh.

Thinking of doing the same myself currently have two sky dishes on the side of the house one for 28 other for 13. Only thing I am interested in is getting the football as I have plex for everything else. If there is no workaround for having a sly sub on my vu+ i am cancelling my sly sub altogether. Would rather do without it than paying 60 quid a month and having to use their useless box.

so glad I upgraded to a Linux box now at least I got iptv though plugins and plex, with sd channels all still good and hey its been a good run though tempted with getting a motor.....

best thing to do is record all the crap now
then when it all goes off
you wont miss the same stuff there still showing
as you have it all recorded
then you can watch the repeats as much as you like when you like

problem solved

Had my SD Sky+ box upgraded last month by sly to a new HD. Lost nat geo etc and Polsat HD is dead for me. Just don't want my Duo2 rendered useless if this all goes tits up but oh well.

If your a genuine customer using a Thomson Box, then your not ok.

Just called Sky (for the last 2 hours) and their technical team have no idea what's going on.

I just acted like a standard customer, and I've been fobbed off with everything from "We'll resend the signal" to "You need a new viewing card".

I'm actually going to play dumb throughout to see where it takes me.

It's clearly the end of the line for using my own box (Which is all I wanted), No I'm going to fight for as many freebies as I can while they sort it.

If you have a Thompson box you should be very happy and leave the phone calls alone. The only result you get is a new upgraded paired box and card. What else are you expecting.

most HD boxes have a scart connection as well, so dont think would worry about buying HD tvs

my legit paid for and owned now but not subscribed for anymore Slug box is totally SD, only has a Scart socket, don't want any other box or an HD TV, so then where do they go now ?

just read on another forum sky Italy sd channels have gone blank screens so its getting interesting i can not confirm this asi said just read

Still ok here

[lombard]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm , Interesting, how can sLug remove sd channels too when there is a massive % of people out there with legit sd boxs and only sd tv's ???? Thats what I am really thinking about, I know lots of people with old SD only tv's and only SD equipment, so how can SLug do away with sd channels ??? doesnt seem possible, does it, or does it ?

I even have a legit paid for SD Slug box myself, its not subscribed etc, but just sitting there from years ago when it was subbed, last I looked I got all the SD channels available on free to view channels like freesat really I suppose apart from the HD of course.

Maybe they are going to buy everyone HD tv's too + a new box

not the *** chns but you must be one of the very few
who has the ***HD chns open on 13e they have been down from
last November there are lots of posts every where stating this

Hi where did you get this rubbish from... SKy ITALIA working perfectly so are most HD channels as well. There will NEVER be blank screens as there are people out there who are very clever.

Regards.

or just to get of the sat at 28e for a moment
on 1w there are channels showing a message
saying from today this channel is no longer available on a standard tv decoder , this channel will only be available on a HD decoder so i guess once the new boxes and cards go out for 28e any subscriber who has received or is'nt using the new box will loose there service. with a linux box a scan or from the service list you can find the channel for a hd box
