UK, Ireland / Dekoder problems in UK? Cyfrowy Polsat. [12]

Nedu
The steps you may try:
- unplug the box for about 5 minutes and plug it again,
- press the power button for even as long as 60 second,
- press the power button for about 20 seconds, but without charger connected, then still pressing this button, plug again the charger in,
- try to power on without antenna cable attached,
- try connect the box to another TV,
- take out the decoder card and clean it gently with alcohol,
- replace the charger,
- bring the box to an electrical service

History / MAP OF POLAND IN 1880'S [95]

The second one may be Malowice or Małowice.
Is it coming from a handwritten document? If yes, then the photo of it could be helpful to decipher those words right.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1033]

my grandmother drew a picture and wrote something

This is a nice letter in the form of a neat rhyming poem.
One sister named Pesia (diminutive from Pelagia? or maybe a nickname) writes to another something like this:

In memoriam
May you be among the scents of the rose
So that you can spend your life merrily
Lest you experience the world storm
That happiness and honor adorn your forehead
And when the sky is cloudy sometimes
And the sorrow overwhelms your heart
Remember that there is no rose without thorns
And there are no happy people in this world
Sister Pesia signed in

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]

nothing like that happened in Poland

I don't follow foreign media much (beside some of the US), but I don't remember (or didn't noticed) anything like this before anywhere.

Do you have any handwritten source for this town name? A photo of it might be useful.

Genealogy / Is there a civil registration office in Zyrowa, Poland? [3]

Zyrowa

If this is the right place: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BByrowa
then you should visit the registry office in Zdzieszowice:
zdzieszowice.pl/8171/urzad-stanu-cywilnego.html
and if nothing there, maybe in Krapkowice:

Life / Understanding Polish Mailing Addresses [21]

Make a photo of this address and paste here if you're unsure - we'll try to decipher it, but my guess is:

Otfinow

It may be Orfinów - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otfin%C3%B3w

woj Matopolska

Małopolska (or just Malopolska) is enough - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Poland_Voivodeship

Na 153

Probably nr 153 (the abbreviation for the 'Number' word)

(Ignore the translation here - word "przyblo" in Polish don't exist)

More likely Polish Przybyło:

News / Should the Poland's municipal guard (straż miejska) be scrubbed? [16]

The "B" part is required only when you, as the car owner, lent someone your car to drive. The address field here is the address of this person (B.2 - home address, B.3 - address for correspondence in Poland)

If you drove the car yourself then you should fill the "C" part and write in C.7 - your home address, C.8 - your mailing address in Poland.

News / Should the Poland's municipal guard (straż miejska) be scrubbed? [16]

did include anything about how to pay the fines should I go to straz Miejska ?

What they need first from you is to fill those statements out - part B and C, (what about part A?) and sent them to the provided address.

Part B - the driver's data and signature, part C - in the case you don't want to reveal personal data of the driver, and you agree to pay the fine - your data and signature needed.

After receiving those statements they will sent to the address given the details how to pay the fine.
