# Johnny
please don't keep making new threads just for questions like this, it's been known to upset other boarders...

What kind of animation file is it, if it's not a GIF? If it's a PSD, then reload it into OvenReady and go to "Save Optimised as" to make it into a GIF.

# you want to save optimised
click the "optimised" tab on the image, tweak the gif parameters (usually in a window on the top right of the screen) until it's a reasonable size/quality compromise, and then go to file->save optimised as

# click the "optimised" tab,
and then fiddle til the filesize is, well, below 200kb.

Then File > Save Optimised should do it for you.

# youve probably saved it as psd
instead try 'save optimised as'

and haven't you learnt about threadjacking yet?

edit: maybe you did have to ask, but 1) you could have asked in another thread and 2) have you heard of google? there's a lot of tutorials out there...

# we could give it a cool name

# Threadjack (of a threadwaste, so little chance of it being read)
I've got an old Sky Digital box, complete with card. The contract expired & I was able to watch the free channels for, er, free.
Now I've moved house & find that the Digital box doesn't even display BBC1 etc.

Any ideas?

# you er...
did bring the satellite dish with you didn't you?
(I helped save b3ta! Professor Fnord Regius Professor of B3ta Chronology, Sun 20 Apr 2003, 18:11, archived)
# No.
I plugged it into an existing dish (remembering to first unplug the existing box)

If it worked, I was going to tap into the existing feed & see if I had a strong enough signal to work too boxes at once.
If that didn't work I have a friend with a dish but no box who could use it.

# Ah
but the dish you've plugged it into may not be picking up the right signals... it may need re-aiming, or maybe it's not capable of using the same satellite?

# you can get a free bbc viewing card thing
so try and get one of those, sky are changing their viewing cards at the moment.

# where from?
[edit] just found this which might do the job. You have to register with Sky though, as I was planning to use my landladie's dish which has an active sky box plugged in it already (I would have to use her landline as well...). These could be problematic...

# google
'bbc satellite free channels card'

# Thanks for the tips
Have emailed Sky with a list of questions.
they probably won't reply 'cos there's no money in it for them :-(
