Oh well that was one of the most torturous afternoons I've experienced in a long time.
After the crew appeared they thought all the wiring had been done and all they had to do was drop off the boxes. When they found out that they still had to do the wiring and dish install they weren't happy and tried to get a new date to do it.
Eventually they agreed to do it and I ran in the cables from the outside to the house while they mounted the dish in the wrong place... After spending a couple of hours yesterday trimming back trees so the dish could be mounted further back from the front of the house and confirming this with them they go ahead and put it where they wanted to in the first place.
Finally after that they left the Sky+ box showing BBC1 england and missing most of the other channels. The guy shrugged and said it shouldn't do that so phone Sky.
On the plus side Sky answered the phone very quickly and diagnosed the problem within a few seconds. A couple of minutes later and BBC1 Scotland is showing in all its glory
Now to continue playing with the Sky+ box. It does have a nasty habit to appear as if it isn't responding to the remote and then do 5-6 commands at the same time
Still that seems to be a known issue with the Amstrad boxes and the majority of the time its V. fast going through the menus.
Now just to learn the channel numbers again
