I've been having the same problem. I have three different boxes. the Sky+ box is fine as is the 2600 but the 430n switches off constantly and then you have to wait for it to reboot. at least I know that it is a general problem with the firmeware and not my box dying!!

all channels are back on again his morning, so I presume it had something to do with the time of the year we are in.

Same thing here in Portugal. Lost virgin(+1) Dmax(+1)LiverpoolTv Sci-Fi(+1) and some discovery channels strangely they came back after 30 mins and then went again. I don't know if it is beam changing or something related to the equinox?!?

Depend where you are. Algarve 1.3/1.4 mt dish. Closer to Lisbon 1.25 is enough. You need a good receiver such as a pace like the ones I have posted in my personal details next to this post. Hope it helps.

Well I live in the Margem Sul area, so we nearly neighbours. My freeview box has the channels working fine but my other box with my irish subscription gets the irish channel 4 and more 4 etc.. It must be some sort of temporary thing...or not!?

Just to add in my 5 cents worth. I live in Portugal and I have an irish card. I have lost channel 4, E4 and more 4. Home+1 and really are also failing. The strange thing is that sky arts 2 is now showing which was impossible before hand. On my freeview box I have channel 4 and the others...

Hello to all. This is my first post on this section and I would like to know which of the available fressat boxes would be best for Portugal in terms reception? Thnx

I have heard recently that the current sky cards are up for a change in Spring (I don't know whether this is true or not). If it is true, how will this work for all those that are living on mainland Europe? Do the cards get sent out to the addresses they are paired to or is there some other...

Can anybody help me? I am looking for the remote code code so as to use my sky+ remote with the tv. I looked on the internet for the code (0206 was the one I seem ot find) but I have failed to get the control set up. Is this the right code or is wrong? I have followed the instructions as shown...

Hello again people. I remembered that I am coming up to the expiry date of my credit card. Where I am they continuously change the card number everytime you get a new one. This means that I have to contact sky. I noticed on their website that there is a "my sky" section that allows you to...

Thanks guys for your help. It also happened to a friend of mine so I know now it wasn't my box.How long does this last for? The first time it happened last year, I nearly died thinking that the system had gone boo boo and I only with a recent installation. Cheers

Hello again guys. I have a question that I only remembered to ask now as it has started to happen again. Around this time of the year I lose all the 2d channels at around 10 or 10:15 for about fifteen minutes and then they come back. Could this be related to the time of the year and the way the...

Can anyone shed some light on this please?:confused: I have a sky digital card and have been trying to get the parental control working on it. I was told that the default number should be the last 4 digits on your sky card number. I have tried this without any success. When I initally ordered...

will do. Had it one for most of the time (half an hour off if memory serves me correctly) I will contact my brother in law and see what's up. Default transponders are coming in fine. 60/50 on signal one and 60/30-40 on signal two. I weill let you know what happens Regards

Mornin' all. Got my brother and law to ring sky and upgrade my existing card to my new sky+ box. He gave the details and was told that I had to leave the card inside and between 15mins to four hours I would have the sky+ funcionalities working...that was nearly 14hours ago! Is there anything I...
