Hi again George.

Black on black? How did I manage to do that? My message appeared okay when I sent it and when it arrived to the list. I didn't realise that I was sending messages as html. I've checked my settings and it says that I am using Plain Text. Perhaps this would account to being unable to get onto the BBC Radio 2 Page. I've been trying for days now and all I get on Internet Explorer is a black screen.

Regarding the question., how much did you pay for your new Ariel George? As this would have to be taken into account. I can fit it myself, though Pauline is not happy about me being up on the roof. Neither am I by the way, you should see me trying to brush the chimney. Knees trembling and holding on tight. hahaha.

Andy.

Hi Andy,

(I'd better say first that your HTML message came in as
black text on a black background.)

Yes, it does look like this is Sky's answer to Freeview.
However, at £150 flat fee, on the face of it, it appears to
be a good deal.

What's more, THEY come along and fit it all up, so if it
doesn't work, they cannot force you to pay - can they?

By the way, do you have a proper digital aerial?  When we
got our first digibox, we had to have the aerial replaced.

George.

Hi George.

Are you perhaps thinking of subscribing yourself?  Pauline
and I have been thinking of subscribing to Sky but it's the
£30 or there abouts a month that is stopping us.  Is Freenet
the same as Freeview only using a satellite disk?  We
purchased a Freeview box for £50 from Argos only to discover
that it didn't work in our area.  But it really would be
nice to have a few extra channels.  At the moment, we only
get 1,2, itv and 4.

Best wishes.
Andy
