    Changing Satellite Dish

    I wondered about that but then thought the ID and Transport being correct meant I had the right one. I can't have another go until Tuesday but one thing that crossed my might was a good old full electrical restart - power down, disconnect everything, power up and see if everything is blank...

    Changing Satellite Dish

    This is probably an old question but my search has failed to find it. I have got fed up with my old Sky mini dish (I use Freesat from Sky on a Pace box) breaking up in bad weather so I have bought an Icecrypt 60cm with their Universal Quad LNB. I have mounted it so I don't have to take the old...

    Freeview & Freesat from Sky - both bugging me

    Anybody like me on a Freeview relay transmitter where yesterday's retune was a downgrade? We already received less channels than people on a main transmitter did and after yesterday's downgrade we receive less. I do not understand why "relay transmitter" doesn't mean just that - it relays what...

    House Sign

    Not sure if this belongs here or one of the other headings. We share a short drive with the neighbours and I would like to make a sign for us both at the end of the drive. I have a nice slab of sandstone I could engrave but I don't know where to start. A few points I've thought of are: How do...

    Private spring water supply+nabour has rights to it

    I don't think you will find that anybody is obliged to supply you with water. When the spring failed some years back that supplies our small group of houses we looked at alternatives. Yes the water company would supply us but we had to arrange and pay for the half mile pipeline across other...

    what is a tracking cookie? and how do i get rid of them?

    That is one of the pains of Windows - you should be able to flag cookies as safe and delete the rest so you don't have to keep setting up your logins after a clean out. Alternatively is the a way of copying them out and back that I don't know?

    Time signal when analogue stops

    I've now had a response from Toshiba so it looks like these "legacy" devices only support analogue updates. "Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Toshiba RDXV47. As the analogue signal is now switched off there is no way of setting the clock automatically. You will have to set...

    Time signal when analogue stops

    Thanks for your replies - looks like there is not a solution. I haven't heard from Toshiba or Freeview but I suppose that would involve customer service. I suppose I shall have to accept it is another failure of the digital revolution. Apt on Ceefax's birthday - what an abomination the digital...

    Time signal when analogue stops

    Was the original question ever resolved? My analogue signal has been switched off. I use a Toshiba RD-XV47 recorder. I have an old Sky dish and digibox with a Freesat from Sky card that connects to the SKART input on the Tosh. I also have a TVonics Freesat box that has a modulated output so...
