SKY digi box Has anyone had a succsessful EPG upgrade

I know there is a thread about problems with the TV guide upgrade but I was wondering if anyone has had a sucsessful upgrade yet or are we all in the same boat. From what I have read the main problem is with panasonic boxes but are any users with a different make of digibox having the same problem? :mad: :confused: :mad:
:A If I could think of a decent signature I would use one :A

  • Sky say they traced a fault in the EPG information and it should now have been corrected. Only some boxes have so far been updated, they are planning on doing all of them by the end of the month.

    Mine is a Panasonic and it is not working today and has only worked for certain selections for a few days. 28 days to the end of the month seems a long time to wait. They always collect the money on time.

  • i have 2 digiboxes, one Sky+ and one normal. my + box has been upgraded and it working fine. the other box is still on the olderEPG
  • Can someone please explain what this upgrade is all about. I have a sky box, but I'm not aware of any problems with the program guide or any pending upgrades.

    Sorry to be so out of touch, but technology and me are far from a perfect match!!

    Have you not seen the dog and duck ads they are always on!

    The channels are being reorganised, radio are getting 4 digit numbers and there is a 50 programme favorites grid.

    Have a look at the customer channel 999
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
