It was advertised last week on some of the Sky channels. They are having
a free promotion weekend. I think it's from 24 - 28 October.

They probably wont show anything special.

Yup, it's called an ADX. Sky will sell you one for 10ukp, or you
can find them on the general market for 15ukp.

You could also buy a new LNB, an "enhanced" one, but all your
frequencies displayed would be 250MHz out.

Have a look at:

No. But when Sky were informed it was missing, it would be switched
off.
