Any new sky box in development ?

any news

Goodness, so you work for the BBC engineering dept? I have an email from them from 2000 saying HD TV was nit necessary for British viewers as the 29" TV would be the standard as British homes were smaller than American...
HDTV started in Japan in the 1990's in analog form and digital HD started in the USA at the end of the 1990's. In Britain you are right thata lit of Satellite bandwidth is wastes on repeat +1 and +2 broadcasts which Sky + makes irrelevant. Do not blame TV manufacturers (by the way they are working on 8K, 4K is old hat now and 4K content has been streamed in some markets for a while. The Sony service is excellent and hopefully 4K Blu Rays which launch end of year in Region A. The blame ahould be on government regulation that allows for the cheap rerun non HD channels. I believe that all channels should be forced to offer a 720p or 1080i service by end 2017.
I look to Sky to carry the flag. If it was not for Sky I do not think HD would yet be a reality in the UK. BBC would continue engineering tests and patronize and ITV would be looking at what they can close next. The delay on colour and stereo was much greater than HD. Sky needs to grow revenue and other than increasing subscribers which gets harder as penetration grows. One can sell extra services. I do not like soccer and I do not watch game of thrones so I end up paying more for nothing. Sky should be flying the flag for consumer choice and innovation not being dragged along by the competition. It is the same as the stupid buy to own in Sky Store and Dky Go. You buy a movie in HD and get srnt an SD DVD or you pay for HD and sky go does not support it. 3D was a waste of time but increasing definition and improved compression is here to stay. The question is will Sky keep share if streamjng services offer better quality product.

  • New TV with no scart and Sky+ box with no HDMI

    Hi,  I have a new TV which only has 2 x HDMI outlets and 1 USB port.  My Sky+ box has no HDMI output!!  I've tried looking on Google etc for scart to HDMI leads but apparently they don't exist.  The only thing I can seem to find is a converter box.  When I spoke to the people I bought the TV from they told my Sky would upgrade my box lol!!   Any suggestions/help please.  Thanks

    Phone up Sky or visit the upgrade section (http://www.sky.com/shop/customer-shop/box-upgrade/) to find out how much Sky want for a new Sky+HD box. Usually if you haven't had a discounted HD box before, your eligible for one. Although it may require some form of commitment such as a new minimum term.
    If Sky are asking too much money for a new HD box just buy one second hand, there's loads on eBay. Aim to get a DRX890 or DRX895 Sky+HD box. Don't buy a Sky+HD box made by Thomson, there obsolete.
    If you really want to keep your current box you would need a Scart to HDMI converter. It's impossible to do it with just a lead. But a converter could cost the same or more than a second hand HD box.

  • Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • New sky+hd box wont allow recordings

    I got a used Sky+hd box from a friend and set it up fine and paired my card etc. but i wont allow me to record or playback anything. I currently have all the Sky channels and multiroom as this is an upgrade to my original skyHd box. Any help on getting the recording feature would be greatly appreciated.

    Then I can only suggest a full system reset. (this will delete everything on the box) http://help.sky.com/articles/reset-your-sky-box If this does not work, try again in the morning, and if it still does not work, the box may be broken. !!!!!!!You can try ringing Sky, maybe your sky plus sub is not active.!!!!!

  • Is there a new Youview Box, any faster?

    Hi all,
    I like the idea of the Youview box and we have had it a while now in fact we are out contract in a week or so, however what I don't love is how sluggish the device is on a whole. Compared to a sky box or other Humax boxes that don't have all the fancy menus. For me, either make the menus more basic, or put better hardware in the Youview box so that it can move faster through the guide.
    How many times a day I press the guide or some other button again thinking I haven't pressed it on the remote, only for it to pop up and then go away again, so annoying its untrue. 
    So is there a newer model available from BT, I know there is a newer model from Humax, I want one like on the adverts as it shifts throught the menus on there. If I sign up for another year can I request a new box, they can have this one back I'm not bothered about keeping it. Just want a little bit more juice in the box for a more speedy interaction when I want to watch something.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is no faster box. The other humax is just a different colour and with a bigger hard drive, other than that, it is identical.

  • Any news on a developer's preview of Paris

    There have been some rumours about a developer's preview release of Paris. So now I'm curious if there is any news about such a release or if we have to wait until next year for the production release?

    Hallo,
    i think, Oracle pays a lot of money for buying Peoplesoft etc, and not for developing their own end user products like Forms, OWB, Reports, Designer.
    See thread: "OWB 10gR1 Repository and 10gR2 Database" in the owb discussion forum.
    We are developing a new project with owb and want to install 10gR2.
    How many month or years we have to wait for this patch?
    Regards
    Franz

  • Help! I must be on my 6th box, isn't there any new equipment that is less buggy?

    I am on my 6th HD DVR Box at least. It is a 6416. The last 3 shows I have recorded will playback for 5-6 minutes and then jump to the end. Customer support is sending me another box. I asked if there was a newer better box. She said yes but there was some secret way you had to request it online and get on a waiting list. Can anyone assist as I am getting very frustrated with my service.

    I feel your pain, I went through FOUR 6416's in a one year span (the hard drives kept failing). They are nothing but junk!!!!!!!!!!!! How did I solve it, I finally got a 7232. Is there a Verizon store near you? You can try to take the junk 6416 there and see if they'll give you a 7232. Otherwise you'll have to wait (get on the waiting list asap). I got on the waitng list back in November and finally got the 7232 in February.

  • I've changed my mail box and the adress on App Store is not updated I cannot get any new app... How could I update it too?

    My adress mail has not been updated in the App Store as I've changed it in Apple. I can't reach any new App now

    Apps you have bought are associated with your apple id and not the device you bought it from.... you just need to delete the app you are no longer using or wanting, being on your Device/iTunes on your mac... you can always re-download them at any stage if you decide you would like to use them again.. Just login to using your apple id, choose purchases and it download.

  • How to reverse Transport requests from sand box to development client

    Dear all,
    I am doing some testing on Sand box, I made some transport requests from development to sandbox, which effected some settings in sandbox.
    Now I want to reverse those transport request from sand box to development, unfortunately I didn't make any note of transport requests which I transported from Development to Sandbox.
    Please educate me how to reverse transport requests from sand box to development.
    your suggestions are highly appreciated
    thank you
    Venu Gopal

    There is no reverse, you have to create a new transport with the original settings.
    Programs keep track of their versions and are easier to pull a previous version, configuration can be tougher, open all the folders in SE10 to see if you can determine the configuration changes.

  • Line Cord Error when connect to Sky+ Box with BT65...

    Bought a new Panasonic TV and had to re sort cables took photos and replaced exactly as before. Did connect the new TV to splitter that works fine.
    BT 6500 shows Line Cord error as soon as Sky box connected on own, with micro filter, with splitter. No errors prior to today so wonder if doing something daft. 
    We have 3x 6500s in house is it REN related? But as worked previously a bit odd. 
    Extension socket behind TV to micro filter - to spliter as before. Plug in cable to SKY plus box and get a line chord error showing on handset. Disconect and fault goes but noticed this fault reported on many forums BT, Virgin ....ANY advice welcome. 

    make sure you have connected the cable to Sky box into correct port.... the sky box has 2... an ethernet port for a cat5 cable ( rj45 bigger port ) and an rj11 port for the phone cord.... the problem is this will fit in both!! but if connected to the ethernet port it will put a loop on line and cause fault on phone line...

  • Sky box not responding to remote

    Hi my sky box is intermittently working with my remote
    i have now tried a new remote with the box and its still the same
    the remote flashes every time you press it and it works my rv perfectly its just the sky box that takes 3 or 4 goes to get it to work
    Can any one help?

    This is happening  here now - the remote seems to be working  in that the pilot light comes on when the button is pressed  but nothing happens - the box is also not responsive to the buttons on the box itself. I've rebooted it a couple of times and it works for a bit of evening viewing but then will not wake up if left overnight.   I've tried the "take one battery out etc" rountine and this has no effect. We have both a Toppy and a Mutant  running as well and there has never been any trouble with interference and nothing else has changed in the local enviromment  - our usual gaggle of wifi sources including our own and baby monitors next door etc etc Any suggestions team?  

  • Undesired bullet pointed text automatically upon creating a new text box

    Hi there! Due to the snow I'm working from home today but I have a little problem back in work that would be nice to get some help on before i go back hopefully tomorrow so i can continue at full speed!
    I'm using Mac OS X (can't remember which version from the top of my head but something quite new!), and InDesign CS3. Basically, every time i create a new text box, or place an excel file into the document (having to do a lot of that at the moment, creating a price guide), it is in bullet point form, and although it's quite easy to go and turn it back off, with me having to do this quite a lot it's getting somewhat frustrating. It does it every single time i create a new text box even if i have turned it off for the previous one
    I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of those "oh, you just need to..." problems with a really simple answer...i hope so anyway!
    Cheers dears!
    Linz

    Thanks guys, i now seem to have a related problem at home. Here i am using CS2 but working on the same document as at work. I have made sure nothing is selected and set my character and paragraph styles to basic, and hey presto, when i create a text box, all is well. However, when i create a table, and i type in a cell, the bullets return! I have just discovered that turning them off in CS2 doesn't seem to be as simple as CS3 - so firstly - how do i do that?! And secondly - any ideas why it is happening but only in tables?!

  • Problem connecting new hd box

    Hello I have just been given a new hd box by sky to replace the old sky+ box. In the instructions is says i can connect via hdmi cable if i have an hd ready tv, or skart lead if not. (It is not hd ready) However my old sky box connected with an aerial as the skart lead from the tv goes to the dvd player. How do i connect to the new hd box, i can't find anywhere to plug in the aerial? thanks ....

    Just a scart socket i think. Bit disappointed that i was told this was a free upgrade but i've now got to buy some more equipment! I guess a 3-way scart socket extension is relatively inexpensive though.
