At a recent training session everyone in the room was fed up with the losses they were making on jobs that used HDMI distribution. Recently went back to a job with a component switcher and fitted a new Sky box with the little 'HD thingy' on the back and it just worked.... Hey - Profit! Long live good old analogue!! - Nick G Fri, 01 May 2009 17:17:34 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/The-Masked-Installer-Still-in-Love-with-Automation.html#comment-413 IMO, this series is really good - really useful for the practical insights it gives ... - CJ-UK Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:44:09 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/The-Masked-Installer-Still-in-Love-with-Automation.html#comment-411 Have to say after having Sky out 6 times - they finally replaced it with the new samsung hd box - bingo problems all resolved. - Chris Bond Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:26:01 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/The-Masked-Installer-Still-in-Love-with-Automation.html#comment-409 HoHoHo! - couldn't agree more about the unreliability of the Sky+HD boxes! - they are *APPALLING* - I couldn't begin to list all the myriad things that are wrong with them (and yes, I DID used to have a TiVo). I'm just waiting for my two boxes to fail completely (as I know they will), at which point I'm going to replace them both with non-sky replacements, - probably 1 Freesat & 1 Virgin Media V+ box. I've been a Sky customer for at least 15 years and *nothing* has done more in all that time to p1ss me off with Sky more than these crappy +HD boxes... - Paul G Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:46:50 +0100
