thanks allot

Hi, If a Sky HD box has a broken modem, what problems will that cause. I just want the optical auido out, FTA HD & the hardrive functions. I've got a current sky STD subcription. Thanks

Don't forget you gold plated fibre optic cable too!

Don't know if this has been covered, I did a quick search. I'm thinking of buying a Sky HD box. Do you think in the long term all the freesat HD channels will all be available to Sky subscribers? I've currently just got the std subscription & planned on just buying the HD box off the net. I...

It's really around half of the channels that I have either stutter or freeze all together. My old box is fine & I've swapped them back & forth. Is it worth finding a local Satellite repair guys & see if it can be fixed. The box stands me at 50 quid all in. Thanks Peter

Thanks for that. I worked out what i was doing wrong with the update. Like a plonker I tried pressing 'backup' on the remote. So the box has been updated & reset.

tried the forced update as you described. The boxes takes a few mins to boot up & seems to carry on a normal. Is there another way of doing this?

hmm I know there's a more accurate way to state this, but I have no idea how. The signal strength is around 80% & quality is 85%. I think that is the same as my newer last box. I'll try a forced update at lunch, yes it's in the 1st input & I've not split the cable. This whole thing was a bit of...

So your saying this is down to the signal. I've gone from a 4 month old sky box to this & the LMB is the same age. The variable is the box & perhaps what I've done to the coax run from the wall to the box maybe. Might have a fiddle with the cable & see. Thanks

1st off what a great little forum. I know these question have been answered before, just wondered if there's anything different with my situation. I've just self installed a sky+ box. (amstrad DX180). I've called sky & that bits all done. I'm finding on certain channels the screen freezes &...
