Any tech wizes out there that know if I bought a second sky box and connected it to satellite could I watch two different channels in different room?

If you connect it to the dish you will get free to air channels in the other room or you will have to get a second card if you want the paid channels, don't know how much extra it costs to get sky multiroom.

Do you have to run a wire to the second set of aerial sockets on the dish first?

You have to run a wire straight from the box to the lnb on the dish, our lnb has 4 ports on it but some only have 1 but they can be changed cheap enough. I think it has to be coax cable you use aswell.

There's 4 ports on my dish. Have no second card

Speaking of techie heads - does anyone know how to post pictures to boards from a Windows phone. I got a new phone 2 weeks ago and apparently since it is windows 8.1 it will not interface with my laptop which is windows 7. Apparently I need to upgrade my laptop to windows 8 which carries an upgrade cost :mad:
I cannot figure out how to post photo's on boards from this phone or for that matter, the previous one

Nah coax cable from lnb straight to box will get you the free view channels, an extra card you get all the channels, have a feeling its €15 a month for extra cards?

Here in France and the Dutch are up the walls with excitement. Orange flags, bunting and kit everywhere.
Haven't seen any of the games at all and nearly cried when I saw the Brazil result as they were my last home in the sweeps.

Ya u will def get channel. 4 , e4 and film 4. Pull the card out of the sky box and go through the channels and you will know what ones you get for free!

For regular sky you only bring one piece of coax from the lnb on the dish to each box.

Is there any Farm planners on here lads? The girlfriend is being offered a fairly good opportunity to get into it with an established planner. I'm wondering is there much of a future in it? She is in an ok job at the moment completely unrelated to it.

What makes up most of their work I wonder ? If all the SFP and schemes dwindle away after a few years what there be for them ?

No. 3 in total. And unlike GAA if you're down to 10 men you stay down. In GAA the extra time is regarded as a new game and you go back up to 15 men if you'd had a lad sent off.

Saw on Agriland where Gerry Boyle from Teagasc says they are scaling back on doing GLAS and SFP because of staff shortages. Might mean more business

Sfp, aeos and BFCP around here I suppose at the moment. I couldn't see all the schemes dwindling away, the money that's out of them will be ever decreasing though I would imagine. I know we are giving our planner the guts of 1k a year to keep us in everything. There's a good bit of work in the BFCP plan though.

Ya I think it was con who said that on here a week or two ago and reckoned there would be a shortage of planners not willing to take on Glas plans in his area. No harm looking into it anyway, it's what she studied in college for but she has moved up the ladder a bit in her current job in the meantime.

Depends on a number of things now I guess. I think there's money in GLAS for 50k farmers, whether 50K farmers will try to get in is another question so that's one thing. Next is as said Teagasc aren't going to be doing GLAS plans, private planners capacity guesstimate is somewhere between 10-15k a year. Also with Teagasc backing away from SFP there's more work for private planners.

There will be work, more work for them willing to travel I imagine. How long that work lasts, and how concentrated it will be in her geographical area are other things to consider.

If the job she's in now is secure and well paid.......... that's another headache





Oh yes, another unrelated nugget for informational purposes. I heard anyone in ANY version of GLAS cannot legally be stopped from going into GLAS.

Outsourcing from government/public bodies to the private sector is rising and is going to increase IMO. In my job I see anything that can be outsourced is being considered and I'd say Teagasc will be no different.

Her current job is secure alright but the wage is average enough and the hours aren't the most flexible. There's a local lad here doing a lot of work up your side too!
