alan: Yes! as you can connect your Freeview DVD recorder to the Pace box using a scart cable between both, making sure that the scart socket used on the recorders input from the Pace box (usually AV2) is selected as the input on the recorders "input select" menu, as other wise it will try to record from the Freeview tuner by it being the default input.

I use Norton (Symantec) nameservers and have had to switch to Google as Norton is blocking access to your site as they claim it is a known file-sharing site. Just thought you should know.

Hi just wondered if you could help me, I have sky in my lounge that is connected to a 4 way amplifier that connects to 3 other tv's around the house.My sky box packed up the other day and so I've put a hd+ box managed to get downstairs working but the 3 other tv's now can't get sky, please could you tell me what I've done wrong.

Thanks

Ann Marie Heaton: I'm not so sure that you've done anything wrong.

The other TVs view Sky using an analogue signal that is carried along the aerial leads. The Sky box puts out the signal on a UHF channel (frequency) which is a number somewhere from 21 to 69. Thus the TVs need to be tuned to the same UHF channel that the Sky box is "transmitting" on.

There are two possibilites:

1. Change the Sky box so that it is putting out its signal on the UHF channel to which the TVs are tuned to (and to which the former Sky box used to use).

2. Change the channel to which the TVs are tuned to, so that they are tuned to the same one used by the new Sky box.


With number 2, if you retune the TVs, you might find that the UHF channel that the Sky box uses now is not suitable as there are digital (Freeview) signals present which interfere, causing the picture to be grainy. In which case you would then have to set too finding another suitable one.

If you know that the current one is fine (good picture), then I would look to using it again (number 1). Some TVs are more helpful than others. What you need to do is see if one of your TVs will tell you what UHF channel it is tuned to (on the Sky channel). A frequency in MHz can be converted to channel number, so that will do (post it here and we can say what channel to tune to).

My sky plus box decided to go on christmas eve. It kept saying unllug your box and wait 5 mins to restart. It was fault number 29 which after consultation. Sky said it was a weather fault. My box is now turned back on but still coming up the same but no fault number is coming up. Yet the time and date is 24 hours behind. Can I change date and how can I do it
