Hi,
My sky digibox is playing up.
Whenever I turn it first on, it displays "there is a technical fault with this channel" and there is no sound, then after 30 seconds, it goes through the usual boot sequence. It's not plugged in the phone.
It will work ok on a single channel for a while, but every 5-10 minutes it may go through the "there is a technical fault with this channel procedure" for 5-30 seconds. The problem usually occurs when I channel hop from one digital channel to another.
I'm using an Amstra drx 100 with a sky subscription card for their sports world package (£33 a month). Sky said it would cost £60 for an engineer to investigate.
What I am wondering is :
1. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
2. Can I buy another drx 100 digibox from elsewhere and simply plug it in and expect it to work?
I'm not sure if Sky will refuse or charge me. I'm also wondering if I'm to get another digibox should I just go to a newer model?
