I not long got of the phone to DAS (the company who are doing my install) who politely told me I may not have the correct wireing for Sky+ and if its just a basic Sky setup, then a + box would keep freezing. Naturally I thought this was a scare tactic to keep my install happening with them. I rang the Sky rep and he confirmed it needed different wireing. He also made a few calls and rang me back suggesting my block "looks like" it dosnt offer Sky+

Bit of a mindfield this Sky buisness, and now I am left wondering if I should leave it alone. Im going to loose OnDemand but I gain Sky1

Anyone know if X-League tv still broadcasts and if that would come with the "Variety Mix"

all that you need for Sky + that you dont have with standard Sky is a dual or quad LNB & another run of cable.

I am sure that these require a viewing card

only Channel 4, Five, Fiver, Fiver +1, Five US, Five US +1 & Sky Three require a FTV viewing card.
