Sky vs BBC F1 Coverage

[gethinceri]

You're clearly much younger than me if that's the case Ninj!
Many people don't even know the opening chords of The Chain, let alone the lyrics.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

I know The Chain back to front. It's not the song that gives me goosebumps, it's the association. I probably am a little younger than you but some of the music I listen to is probably a hell of a lot older than you are.

The music the BBC use is actually not the opening chords to The Chain of course. Which I think is what gethinceri was making a joke at.

oh and ExtremeNinja you say you listen to music that is probably older that gethinceri - does that mean you're bopping round your room to 14th Century ballads?

 

[ExtremeNinja]

I know. That bit kicks in quite a way into the tune. It's almost like two completely different songs. Much like Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand to compare with something more modern (Still about 8 years off current with that, though).

18th century is about where my eclectic musical taste begins. I'm no subscriber to any particular genre.

You cheeky so and so.

Just got Sky HD through today. Wow what awesome quality was awesome to see F1 in such good quality .

 

[Jos the Boss]

You say that until it starts going all jumpy and then "No Satellite Signal Received" is shown even though every other channels fine, including Sky F1 none HD...

 

[Slyboogy]

Never had that problem Jos, maybe it's just the weather at your bit eh?

 

[Jos the Boss]

I have it for most shows! I try watching a recorded season review and you can't go 5 minutes without it freezing! And Scotland should have it worse, nice and sunny here!

 

[Brogan]

Sounds like a problem with your dish, line of sight, cabling or box.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Could be your dish is out of alignment. This can happen if you have had strong wind and the brackets aren't tight.
You can check this with a satellite finder.

[Porceliamone]

Or phone Sky and get them to come and fix it perhaps?

 

[Jos the Boss]

But surely it would happen on all channels and not just sky f1?

 

[FB]

Multiple satellites Jos so you may be out of alignment by a very small amount which makes the signal strength drop. Have lost any other channels?

 

[Jos the Boss]

Nope, just Sky F1 occasionally, I'm sure my Dad will know how to fix it

 

[Jen]

Goodness, that's a first - its usually the younger generation who can fix technology!

 

[Brogan]

Place a damp cloth over the LNB.
That will attenuate the signal and allow you to align it easier, assuming you don't have a meter.

They got him in the pool!

Anybody got Rod Hull's phone number?
