<< please note: that i cannot be held responsible for any changes Sky / Freesat make to the
transmission from the Satellite and or its 'Footprint', the 'Channels Available',
 the 'Viewing Cards', damage caused to equipment by faulty software updates
or indeed for any changes,outside my control, to the system as a whole !! >>


****************

I also have a stock of replacement  Remotes, LNB's, etc. .
I have finally sourced a supply of 'Black' Cable so should now be able to give a choice between Black and White.
For 'Special' camouflaged installations there are Transparent Dishes available.
Many seaside Appartments/Developments  have strict rules...
.....
These will help get around the rules if carefully
installed. Please contact me for advice .
 
Have you thought about Sky Gnomes???....this device enables the reception of
the Audio from a Digibox to a distance of 35 metres...
  Listen to the radio or commentary  anywhere you like....
.....eg. by the pool or on the Patio.
Contact me for further information
.

I would be most pleased to advise on the wiring required for UK TV Satellite Systems
BEFORE you complete that rewire/restoration/extension or even New-Build.
The French audiovisual wiring standard is not really suitable for Sky installations...
especially should you require more than one Satellite TV or are thinking of installing Sky+.
(there is usually only one coax < if any at all> provided up to the roof!!)

< Please note: I only install  British Satellite TV systems.>

Installations are possible in the following Departments :-
Aude, Ariège, Haute Garonne, Hérault, Pyrénées Orientales & Tarn.

STOP PRESS.
I came across this site. www.streamick.com over the weekend. it streams live english language TV
from around the world. The streams seem to 'come and go' a bit from day to day,
but have included Channel4, BBC1 and ITV1 on a semi regular basis.
  The quality is OK when small but not brilliant when full screen.
However might be of interest to anyone who cannot receive UK Satellite TV
for any reason.

********************************
Replacement 'white'  Sky Cards

Sky are replacing Viewing Cards this year, the Subscription Card change is already
 happening and now any 'genuine' FTV  Cards, less than 3 years old & registered to an
 'active' UK address will be replaced  FOC; but do require ordering.**
All the FTV, 'Ex Sub' or 'previously owned' cards will be switched off.
However the only FTV Channels are now Sky3, Fiver (&+1) & Five USA (&+1) and Viva.
You will however continue to receive ALL the FTA Channels as before !!
Channel 4 +1 (and maybe Ch.5, depending on your region) would also have
to be added and viewed as an 'Other Channel'.

See below for the details on how to perform this proceedure.

Please note the following ITV 1 regions are also encrypted :
ITV Anglia West, ITV Central South West, ITV Meridian North, ITV Meridian South East,
ITV Tyne Tees South or ITV Yorkshire East. But all the other regions can be viewed
without the need for a FTVCard; see below for how to add / view any ITV 1 Region as an 'Other Channel'
.
For the moment FTV Cards are available by telephoning 08448 244 400 and have to be sent to a UK address.

Have a look at the FreesatfromSky website for further info: www.freesatfromsky.co.uk

OR.....

go to the link for replacing cards below, click on 'dont have a card'
and follow the instructions:
TO A UK ADDRESS ONLY. Max. 4 cards per address.

**The latest info from SKY about the replacement of FTV Cards:

If you purchased a Sky FTV card from Sky after 1st May 2006 you are entitled to a free replacement card.
Unlike the new cards for Sky subscribers, Freesat replacement cards will not be sent out automatically, but via an onscreen message saying the card is due to expire and to contact Sky. If you do nothing then you will lose access to any FTV channels.
Sky Freesat customers have to either call Sky or apply for a new card online before the end of December 2009.

(If you purchased your FTV card before 1st May 2006 you'll have to pay £20 for a new card.)


You can apply online at: http://www.sky.com/replacecard/index.jsp

Just enter your viewing card number and it will tell you if you are eligible for a replacement.

HOWEVER, if your card was bought off a 'third party' it is highly probable you will not be eligible for a replacement and will need to purchase a new card if you require the 5 FTV Channels that the card currently decodes.

REMEMBER: DO NOT TELL SKY THE CARD WILL BE USED OUTSIDE the UK!

***************

I also offer a very reasonably priced re-alignment service
for people who have problems with dishes being 'blown off course' etc..

· Select number 4 ("System Setup"), and then 4 again ("Add Channels").
· In the appropriate fields enter the information required (you move through the fields using the up and down arrow keys).

· In the FREQUENCY field enter the 5 digit code, (it starts with either 10___ 11___ or 12___ in the table below). Don't worry about the . in the frequencies in the table below, they are not required on Sky Digiboxes.

· The next three fields are toggle fields, i.e. use the left and right arrow buttons to change the values.

Toggle Polarisation - either H or V
Toggle Symbol Rate - either 22000 or 27500 (29500 cannot be received on a Sky Digibox)
Toggle FEC - either 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8 (only 2/3, 3/4 or 5/6 are used on the channels below)

So, the following channels are now all available via satellite FTA (Free To Air), meaning no card is required, just tune it in and you can watch away.

Channels in bold cannot currently be viewed FTA and require a subscription or FTV viewing card, but there is a strong chance that they will become FTA in the future, when suitable space is found on the Astra 2D transponder. Their frequencies will almost certainly change so if and when they do become available for FTA viewing, their details will be amended on the table for all to easily find and the bold status will be removed so you will know when the frequency provided is for a working FTA version of the channel.

The FTV channels are listed here anyway for reference and also for people who are using a CAM and FTV card to watch so they can tune them in also. Note that FIVE USA and FIVER cannot be viewed on an Irish Sky card and will only work on a UK subscription or FTV card.


# All Channel 4 related channels including timeshifts (+1's) and spin-offs (E4, More 4, Film 4 etc) are the Northern Irish/UK versions of the channels and are completely unrestricted so there will be no programmes blocked such as movies or US imports.

* For most Free To Air HD Receivers ITV HD can be tuned in, but, it requires you to either tune in another channel altogether and edit its details to the correct ITV HD settings in order to view, (this is done either on the STB itself or via a PC depending on manufacturer), OR you can download a channel list for your STB, (again, depending on the manufacturer), and load the channel this way by connecting your STB to your PC via serial port or USB.

* ITVHD will have channel ID 10510

***As of March 2009, ITV HD can be tuned into a Sky+HD box BUT ONLY IF it is running the new HD version of the EPG which was released to Thompson STB's from 10th March 2009. (Rollout to all Sky+HD boxes is due to be completed by Summer 2009). The channel only shows one or two HD programmes a day and it does not carry EPG listings so you will have to check listings for the channel yourself, it also cannot be recorded from on a Sky+HD STB.***

ITV HD is currently an interactive application broadcast on Eurobird 28.5, but may launch at some point in the future as a full channel that can be tuned in normally like the rest of the channels on the list. This will only happen is sufficient space is found on Astra 2D and if this does happen, the table will be updated with the new tuning information.
