Thanks for the info guys. Sorry £63 was a typo should be £83, give or take.
Quick question, how many cables would be coming from the dish?

They use shotgun cable so one wire to each box , the wire splices into two to give you your two inputs per box.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Watching Lion King on Cinemagic HD and EPG shows its DD but its only coming out as stereo, i watch Beavis and Butt-head on Sky Movies HD and it said it was DD but came out in stereo. All other Movie channels come out fine just not them films, is there an issue with the broadcast or is the EPG reporting incorrect?

Thats what i think as all other channels that say DD come out as DD. Why doesnt Cinemagic output DD as the film was made in DD?
