Which meant that the user could always get Sky by picking the programmed channel, assuming that selecting the RGB scart input was beyond the user.
Don't laugh at the last comment - my missus still can't get from BBC1 to ITV1 without going through all of the menus, and we've had Sky+ for over 6 years now.
Sad, isn't it ?

isnt it fantastic that sky instaltion people are trained to put things in holes rather than actually understand the equipment, and properly demonstrate it to customers
i wonder if the slightly higher level of training for staff would cost less or more than the millions of superfluous rf fly leads
