Gill - Many thanks for posting that link, as it happens I had learned all of it the hard way, yes, I was mug enough to go for Sky + when I was in England, there IS a bug in the software, worse however, is the fact that even 'tho the manufacturer of the box has a fall back mode (Live reception still possible) the dummies on the Sky help desk take you through a routine which results in you loosing everything and having to wait for an engineer to call. Could be three weeks :x
