Thought I had already posted it but must have screwed up - but, IIRC, there WAS/IS an thread on this subject, and so, STAFF please find and resurrect that !
Edited: seems like I did do that post slightly earlier - but that's probably due to my slow Wifi updates, but my "plea" is still "true" :)

Some threads were deleted by a former staff member, never to be recovered

In a probably vain hope, I just tried to search for that old thread to which I know I contributed (and later some photos although to another thread) after I came back to the forum in Jan 2016 after many years - but I can't seem to go back more than a few months from today. Is that the "limit" or could someone else look at the archives for that period?
 
Too diccifult.

Just start a new one!

A decade no less.

It is possible, but you have to use the 'show older posts' (or show older threads) in conjunction with the page count at the foot of your profile.

Et voila

Though I do admit it is convoluted.
 
Update!

I could not do anything about the "Lidl" box during the day because my wife was occasionally watching Sky downstairs, but then I had to take her to a local WI mtg and so had the house to myself. I plugged the box in downstairs, connected up both LNB leads and the phone line, paired our existing Sky card with the box on line on-line (it took just seconds for the encrypted Sky channels to clear) - and watched AND recorded 2 shows at the same time - RESULT!

So that's "done" now, and all that was then needed was to disconnect everything, put the card back in the main Sky box and request pairing the two (took seconds, and no need to go on-line again).

In between times, I resurrected a 15-16yr old HP laptop (XP!) that had not been switched on since 2009, cleared a lot of the rubbish on that and so on - and the battery appears to have fully charged up, having been at 0% when I plugged the adapter in, but is now at 100%. Also cleared up a lot of "electro junk" in the "office", and managed to unearth the 2x DRX 890s, but now that the "Lidl" 895 seems to work, those 890s are being stripped: I've already got a 2TB WD Green drive out of one and there's a 500Gb "something or other" in the second - both of which will be found suitable homes.

Sorry but I didn't feel like starting that new thread today as we have a number of more important household and health issues with which to deal, but I'm aim to start it tomorrow.

On top of that, that it's looking like our remaining cat might well have to put to sleep if the Feline HIV tests turn out positive - probably won't know for a day or two, but he is pretty poorly and under 24hr (expensive!) care at the moment :(

Sorry to hear about your cat, fingers crossed.

Nice result regarding the box.

My heart goes out to you, I have had to do similar with my dogs.

Fingers crossed and he can make it :Y

Definitely more important than anything, including the wifeys Sky channels.

@CH
Sadly, he went downhill pretty quickly after you came over here a few weeks ago, and he will be sadly missed if we do have to have him put to sleep (especially after we had to have the other and older one put to sleep last year, and we were hoping that this one would be with us for a few years after that).
 
It was only three weeks ago, you have my deepest sympathy.

If you do get a couple of spare minutes though, try the link above to locate your old posts.
 
I hope he pulls through jeallen01, if he does try him on Lysine aid gel as it works well as an immuno booster for cats with FIV and FHV. They can live fine with FIV and with minimal risk as an only cat.
 
Thanks to everyone who wished the cat all the best and we hope he pulls through too. His name is "Scruffy", which is usually a dog's name, but he was a very little, thin and scruffy cat of just over a year old when he decided that here was the best place for him and he wouldn't go away, and so we finally said "OK, you stay!"

I feel for you. Hoping for the best.
