Pub Sky TV

I'm no football fan, but I've noticed a little icon on the bottom-right of the screen which looks a bit like a pint glass. Sometimes it's full, sometimes empty. What is it for?

It's to indicate that the pub is paying the pub rate for sports. Sky broadcast a different stream (With different adverts + the pint glass) for pubs. It means that they can tell if someone is accessing a dodgy stream or paying the home users rate just by having an inspector walk in the bar.

Quite easy...set decoder to astra and tune accordingly

 

can you use a sky box to do this?

You cannot use a Sky box to pick up foreign channels. Sky and Freesat boxes will only work with Astra 2 28.2.

 

Satellite boxes which support foreign channels will usually support DiSEqC.
