Bit the bullet lads. I was really fed up with paying Sky every month (and showing more loyalty to new customers rather than existing). Things got worse when BT came along and gobbled up a good chunk of the footie too. So .... got's myself a SKYBOX F3S which is working very well with the Sky Anytime wireless adaptor (the only good thing they sent me after 11 years). My 2 questions are if you can advise:-
1. The at Sky told me that since I was cancelling my TV package (still have phone and broadband with them) then all my recorded films, programmes etc on the Sky box would no longer work! I wouldn't mind but the kids have a lot of Disney stuff etc recorded. Is there anyway to reactivate / bypass this block? Also, the rewind and pause wont work - error message comes up "Live pause is not available, call to upgrade your package....". No way am I doing that.
2. Is there anyway that a stand alone HD recorder can be connected to the SKYBOX F3S to enable recording whilst watching other programmes? The box has a loop LNB socket.
I would appreciate any pointers here guys - I'm new to the forum.
