Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
I think my dodgy sky+ box has gone mental. I'm watching a program that I have recorded. It gets to the ads so I press fast forward a few times to get it to 16x then it's suddenly back on the program so I think "wow that was a short ad break" so press play. But it has jumped back to the previous set of adverts from 15mins ago and I'm watching the same bit of tv again
 That probably makes no sense but hopefully someone will know what I'm on about. It's done it a few times. Either it's the sky+ box or I'm time travelling |

If you want to try really dodgy, get Sky HD, then you'll have all kinds of fun. I've had two boxes and they're both sh!te. |

Yeh mine is painfully slow and every now and then it just freezes for no reason.
Usually at the important part of the program. And obviously you can't rewind it to see the bit you missed! |

mine does it all the time
see if you notice this, watch something recorded when the adverts finish and your program restarts you see a quick freeze or jump if you wait till after this before hitting play ( it happens at the same point every time) it wont skip back |

You need to go into the services section, press 4 then 0 then 1 then select and then 7. it will sort out the planner/scheduler thing.
Mine does it every now and again and you have to do this to sort it out again. |

Ok just done that. It says "Housekeeping" pmsl
It gets rebooted often enough anyway. I usually pull it's plug when the hard disc randomly fires up at midnight when I'm trying to sleep! Must be the anytime tv or something |

Re: Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
My neighbour went through 8 Sky+ boxes, all of them developed faults. They upgraded to HD and had no problems. I have had a few too. Still have Sky+ but can only watch the programs as all of the other functionality such as setting reminders, recording etc... has stopped working again
 . I gave up calling Sky out in the end. I am thinking of upgrading to HD soon.
