  5. All was working fine until we had a lightening strike very close by about 6 weeks ago. Surged killed off loads of electrical things. Well we are over that now. Can anyone tell me how long sky send the "Kill" signal after a plus box subscription is cancelled? I think that was what saved my box last time as it was removed and stored "before" the contract was cancelled and it was a couple of months later before it was used again. I am looking to do the same again, so fingers crossed.

  15. Is is possible to split the  satellite cable to feed both the feeds on a sky plus box? so i could record one side and watch another. I do have a 4 way LMB but it means running another cable in and as its over 60 mts to my dish, i was hoping to cheat. cheers nichthewood

  20. If you don,t like them. Don,t use them.  There in it to make money.
  21. If you can manage until tomorrow. I would recommend, turn off the boiler then  putting as much heat into the garage (where the boiler is) as possible. If you can, i would also turn off the cold water at the stop tap. If your lucky, the heated room might defrost the pipes overnight.In the morning turn on the cold water first see if its thows out.Without cold water your boiler want work so no cold will mean no hot. You might be frozen outside, in which case you will have to wait for a thow. Hopefully no burst pipes. Can't see what else a plumber would do. You do need to get all your copper or plastic pipes lagged, to stop it happening again. Unless your really unlucky it shouldn't be the pipes outside. As long as they were sunk to the correct depth when they were fitted. Good luck Get the room as warm as you can.
