    I got a faulty box from sky and the engineer came out and got it all owkring again, i made sure he didnt leave until the box was working 100%. offer them a brew and some biscuits and they will wait til the job is done. It turned out that the box we had was second hand so it already had a fault before it got to our house...

    The box I had before was brand new! However I can notice the difference already! TV Guide comes up straight away where as before it took about 10seconds to appear.
    Hoping this new box will last longer than 5 days but who knows?

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Replaced with a Thomson

    Must be starting at the bottom and working my way up:confused:

    I remember the days when you could choose what box you wanted online!

    Wether or not theyve upgraded them not I dunno. But Thomsons are well known for developing faulty PSU units
    :idea:

    Engineer tried to tell me not to believe everything I read as he has had sky+ for a few years and only gets the occasional no signal!

    I told him he probably has one of those rare sony boxes! Well 8 days into sky contract and already on second box. Am I right in thinking that for my 12 month contract, sky are responsible for replacing/repairing if it goes t**s up again? Or will I have to take that insurance thingy?

    Thanks
