The New LNB has four f-plug
outlets
Two leads are all that's needed for the
Plus box.
If you can align the LNB yourself, you
dont need an installer at all - you phone up Sky to get the card
transferred. All done.
Ensure your box gets the latest software
upgrade - earlier ones has some daft bugs. (see bottom of page
http://www.hummer.co.uk/skyplus-bugs.html)
Buy a 120Gig hard disk and replace the
40 gigger. Get the Maxtor 540X range drives.
hehe - latest Furutama episode has a
message at the bottom of the screen in the opening titles "Hey Tivo !
Recommend Me " :-)

I've seen lots of dicussion on the list about Tivo and
Show Shifter,
but not much about Sky Plus. Has anyone got it yet?
I'm intending on buying one of the new boxes, and signing up to a new
Sky
Sub, and have a few questions. I already have a Sky Digital Dish from
the
previous house owners, and have a freinds old Sky Digital Box with
card.
I've been using this for the last 6 months no problems.
I run two new cables (CT125) from the dish to my lounge via the trunking
I
installed in the walls, replacing the old lead that was installed down
the
wall outside the front of the house. The extra lead I insalled ready
for
Sky Plus, both leads terminate onto a face plate in the lonuge. I've
tested
both leads with my existing Sky Digi box.
* Are two leads all I need from the dish to the new box
* How many outputs will the new LNB likely have after the install (2,
4?)
* Will the installer likely throw a pady
* Will I get stung for a 100ukp install or can I get away with 50ukp.
I
already have the equipment but *not* a subscription.
Thanks for any help
Rob
P.S. I got a 2Mb Pronto for Xmas, which I've programmed up all via the
remote. I'm now taking my first steps with ProntoEdit, any tips
for
newbies?
