Hi Graham,
Thanks for the suggestion, but no, my display is not at fault. I have a Panasonic PX60 42". I haven't ever had any problems using it with Sky HD or any other service over HDMI. It's most definitely the Foxsat at fault. I remember many Sky HD customers having this exact problem when it first came out - they sorted it out in the end through software updates.

Many people, myself included, have not experienced the HDCP issue you speak about. I'm sorry that you have, but it doesn't change the fact that many of us like the product a lot.”

Hi Kevin,
I'm not debating that the machine "does what it says on the tin", it's just I find the execution of the task at hand ever so cumbersome. I also think it's sadly not really a mainstream product at the moment: as I say, my mum and mother-in-law would have big problems trying to use it, I know it. That's my usual litmus test!
I'm also not taking away your right to like the product a lot, but please don't take away my right to be disappointed in it!
