You can buy the leads separately to charge iPad or iPhone. I got one recently from Amazon for £4.99. At the moment these ones are only available in black (no white in stock). However, it is only available to add on to an order valued at £20+ meaning they won't ship it by itself.


Alternatively there is this:


I don't know anything about your Sky 'pixel' problem. Seems as though your Sky box may be way out of date and can't upgrade any more. Working only on HD makes no sense to me unless that are trying to say that you have to have the HD add-on to be able to have that box.

Try the Apple Store in Norwich they are usually very helpful there, my grandaughter recently broke her charger it broke off inside the iPad they went to the little computer shop in Dukes Head Street and he got it out for her and said it took ages but only charged her £12
Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter.
