Lucid, thank you so much for such a detailed response, that is very much appreciated! :-)

Hi guys, In short, I want to have SKY in more than one room. The full story is longer, but I'll keep it to the facts so that it doesn't get too complicated! Some years ago, at a previous address, I had bog-standard SKY in my living room (downstairs) and then I upgraded to SKY+. When I...

Thanks for your responses, guys. Madrab - I've measured my current fittings and it does appear that they are M10s, rather than M12s. I appreciate the link you provided for M10s. Is that definitely the correct fitting on the 'other' end for my pipes? If so, is there a reason why they are more...

Hi guys, I have an old gas boiler (about 35 years old) and I appear to be having some issues with the pilot light going out on me. I've re-lit it, and sat and looked at it for 5 minutes and it's stayed on quite happily. However, as soon as I turn the heating controls to "on" the pilot...
