Hi, The group you actually want is uk.tech.tv.sky. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Andy Logue Sent: Fri 26/05/2006 11:51 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: No Newsgroups Folder in OE Hi Andrew. Getting confused now hahaha. A list member suggested subscribing to the SKY Newsgroup in order that I may get specific questions concerning SKY Plus answered. I've never really got into Newsgroups, preferring Mailing Lists instead. It's a pity here wasn't such a mailing list available. Best wishes.

For example, groups such as alt.comp.blind-users, which is a usenet group.

Do the groups not come from a variety of separate sources? Is there such a thing as a single list of all the available groups? If so, have you any idea of the url please. Best wishes.
