Re: Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
I work for an av company and the problems we have with sky boxes you would not believe! I'd almost go as far as to say 1 in 5 is a dudd.
A lot of the time they just freeze, then we have to send an engineer out just to switch them off and back on again! Ours are generaly hidden away in a rack somewhere and controled remotly, so that can be a major pain. Last edited by shifter; 09-02-09 at 11:18 PM. |

Re: Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
Yes it is. But the first 6 months is half price too, it's not a bad deal when the boxes were nearly £200 last year i think

Re: Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
I'm on my second Sky+ box too. Same as Foxy, I lost all the extra + functions and it just acted as a normal Sky box. I was given a +box by a friend who had upgraded to HD.

Re: Sky+ box gone haywire............ Gromit!
May sound silly but do you have a cordless phone, and is the base unit anywhere near the sky+ box?
I had a similar problem, which turned into not being able to record or watch anything recorded or paused. Sky dude came out, replaced the box, same problem. Turned off the cordless phone base ( sat about half a meter away) and no more problems...
