[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 107655, member: 176530"] [COLOR=Navy]I recently bought a SKY+ 160 (off eBay G*d help me). I bought the box for the extended recording times but also beause it is reportedly good for fringe reception (Canaries). Things are not going well. I phoned Sky from a UK number and arranged for my viewing card to be linked to the box. I am receiving all the channels I was before and the system does seem to be able to hold a signal a little better than my old PACE MKI box. However, anything that is related to the hard drive seems to have problems. The problems are not always the same. I have tried several software down loads and after each one things seem to change. At first live pause did not work at all - it displayed the Pause symbol but the transmission continued to be displayed as normal. Now it pauses but usually won't restart. Many recordings have failed for "unknown reason", and recordings I have made often play back with jumps and broken sound. I have tried all the usual things - software down-load, Planner rebuild, Full system reset. Is my hard drive skrewed?? Please help. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkGreen]Box details are: Thomson Model 116c089 Version 4E2002 Op. System 1.31A08 EPG s/w sky+1.28.9 [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
