My sister lives in a block of flats and have a communal dish but it's rubbish. There's only one feed so you can't record whilst watching another channel. My sister got Sky in a few years ago and was really mis-sold by the salesman who assured her she would be able to record a different channel to the one being watched. She had all sorts of problems with picture freezing to and was forever on the phone to sky.

I understand that local bylaws prevent multiple dishes being installed in blocks of flats, hence the communal dish requirement. Around here, people ignore those bylaws and install an individual dish if they want Sky.


I'm not sure how your flats work, but here, we employ the management company to handle routine maintenance etc. so they have no right to prevent us going down the communal dish path if we wanted to.

Another channel moving to MUX 7/8. Not only HD equipment needed, but reduced coverage.

I only used it for NBA basketball a few times a year really but it's disappointing. It's got the "We'll be back- Current programme not available" showing on VM 548 at the moment so it appears to affect VM even if it hasn't been mentioned.
