Hi Ron
Interesting, another way of controling you........ typical SLY

[quote user="Bead"]Hello.
I'm moving to France soon from the UK.
I've looked around for an answer to this question, but it's one of those things, ask ten people the same question and get twenty different answers.
I know I need to take a Sky box over with me, and I need to have a Sky account. Is it better to set up the account in France or to set it up in the UK before I leave and pay for it through my UK account?
The house I am moving into has a sky dish and cables, I have a Sky Plus box. Someone mentioned that the cables for plus and normal sky might be different, but I'm lost on that one.
Also about plugs. While on Holiday I use an adapter plug, but is that suitable for long term use, or can I rewire the plug or swap over or some other more permanent solution?
Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry about the tall order of barely coherent questions, but I've been trying to find the answer myself and have just ended up even more confused.
[/quote]Hi Bead and Welcome
Just a few points
You do not need to bring over a sly box (NOT a spelling mistake) with you to watch British TV (not channel 4, 5) only if you wish to watch sly channels, if you are happy with BBC 1,2,3,4, BBC news 24, CBeebies, CBBC, ITV 1,2,3,4,also +1 and ALL the regional channels (NI, Wales, Yorkshire etc) and all the FTA channels, Men and Motors, golf , Movies for Men to name a few.
All these channels can be received by a standard Digital stb available in France the full kit is about €70/80 stb, dish, dish bracket, lnb you will also need coax cable PLEASE get the correct cable for Digital Receiver NOT for TV, normally as a bonus the dish is 80cm for a better signal.
Hope this helps

Martin you have hit the nail right on the button ,HD is in it's early stages. Technomate has just released their stb (set top box) about £299 not cheap, I personally will not be looking to buy one for at least a year.

Hi Jonzjob
I know nothing re the message, I have done a little research and it looks as though I comes to you through skype !!!!!
Go to http://www.singletrackworld.co.uk/forum/read.php?f=2&i=3242392&t=3242392 and see what they came up with.
Run your installed malware / software just to see if you do have an infection
Hope this helps

Hi Paul
As sad as I may appear I thought I was helping you with a problem. I'm Glad you are sorted. If you go to the Indesit site you can download the manual for the WIL133 Model which looks as if it is the same as yours.
Regards

Come on Paul we are all dieing to know if you got your washer working.

Hi Martin and All
Same old story "Give me your money" Murdoch has a lot to answer for I would not pay the B********s a penny ......but I do watch AB Motors and Motors TV[:D]
and I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hi Gyn_Paul
Any luck with your washer?
-
Gyn_Paul
Look up the WIL 133 on the indesit site, looks the same as you discribed you can delay the start time by 2-4-6-8 hours hopefully this is the same as yours.
-
Hi Gyn_Paul
Try looking at model No. WIL133 it may help
-
Hello Gyn_Paul
How is life treating you well I hope
Have had a word with a good friend of mine (washing machine engineer) and he has had a look through his service manuals and cannot find your model now I know you are not silly but did you get the model number from the booklet or off the back or front of machine? if off the front could you have a look on the back just to see if the number on the plate is different, you may have already done this, if this is the case sorry cannot help.

Wollies I must say the perfect taboule is just the way you do it and I do it exactly the same but we must allow people to do there own thing that is the way cooking evolves, the thought of taboule with some lamb cooked on a spit nice and crunchy on the outside and pink in the middle with a nice dollop of thick greek yoghurt with or without garlic and olive oil added
-
A pleasure 5-element, not a problem altering ingredients that is how cooking evolved, why not have a go at the fig tarte.

Hi
Tarte aux figues
puff pastry
1kg figs
200g sugar
60g butter
Roll out pastry to 20 x 40 cm then cut into 8 equal squares, roll each square into very thin 10cm round. prick the pastry with a fork (stops them rising too much) and chill for 30 mins
Set oven to 220C.
Cut figs in 1cm slices, discarding stems, put slices slightly overlapping on the pastry so they just reach the edge. Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of sugar over each tart and dot the top with butter. Bake till pastry is browned and figs are lightly caramelised, 20-25 minuets. Allow to cool before scoffing the lot.
Had to laugh when I posted this .......what you have to do with the fork......would willy have been better I wonder?

I mix some good plain yoghurt with milk as an alternative to buttermilk
Drying figs well idealy in the sun I guess or in a very low oven, which I find works for sun dried tomatoes

LOL [:D][:D][:D]

Martin
Have you been at the bottle again? [:D]
Your first line:
The problem with motorised and Sky boxes is that you do need to remember to park the dish back at 28 deg E overnight or - eventually - you will probably get behind with software updates.
My last line:
this will not work on a sly box, you will need a numeric box (Digital Box)
Martin I would never put a motorised dish on a sly box .................a hammer well that's a different matter!!!!!!!
Also my reply was aimed at the original poster and he has a standard digital (numeric) stb which it would work on.
Too many Technomates I think that is the problem.......I've only got two
Love to you all

Hi Folks
A motorised dish is the way to go, but please do not skimp on the motor, you will be able to receive many channels and many that you will not want from at least 15 to 20 satellites but your dish will need to be set up properly, my dish is a 80cm once I move permanently to France I will be using a 1 mtr dish, this will not work on a sly box, you will need a numeric box (Digital Box)
If you want any more info just ask

Hello Folks
Sounds like a water/cable/dish problem, well that's the way I would approach it, for the cost of a decent bit of coax cable, and making the joints fully water tight (very important) would be where I would start, I would then realign the dish, if no signal try and loan a friends receiver (stb) or you could do a factory reset on your stb, I think on your stb: go into menu / installation / system setup / factory reset, Type in pin (0000 is factory set) this will clear all channels you have setup, turn stb OFF at mains wait 30 seconds and turn ON at mains. This may clear the fault. There should be an option to change the language so it does not have to be in French, if you have not done this previously.
The strength v quality issue .......well as others have stated you can get 70% strength with the lnb sitting on the floor I agree this does not help you in any way but I have to disagree with the quality signal although in fairness I would not put my life on the line for it. I do feel that as the meter goes up you are getting closer to the point of getting a picture on the tv, (I have found the sly stb to be the worst) not a perfect solution, you could purchase a proper signal strength but that would cost at least 5 times the cost of the stb!
Back to the problem, if after carrying out the above still no picture come back and let us know, we can then go further
Can I recieve British channels via satellite in HDTV ?
in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone

I must say I was quite surprised to hear you could not receive sly HD broadcasts in France as they can be received on a standard HD stb
