sky+ box

I used WF100 cable when I done my sons feed.

Bought mine from Ebay, F connectors included.

That is great, thank you:T

You're welcome,
This link will show you how to fit an F connector.

When you get the new Sky+ fitted,ensure that the phoneline is connected & grab the remote.
Now press "Services",then "4" then "0-1-Select" that should bring you into "Installer Set-Up"
Then press "6-New Installation" & continue until you get "Intallation Complete"
That will scan & update the channel list & software.
Now all you have to do is call sky (08442 411411) to get the recording & primium channels switched on.
HTH.

Satcure was the site I used too.

Just trying to work out why the site blocks out the link.

Wierd or what...I would've thought that allowing linking it's advertising their services...

just to let you know that if you don't have a sky+ subscription you will NOT be able to use the full features of the box no matter how you re-par the card etc. a sky+ subscription is free as long as you have sky tv package otherwise it's 9.75 per month. if you give them a call and say you want to xc your account then they will offer a discount on a + box if you are outwith your 12 month contract. it will be an a-grade box but they come with 12 month warranty. thats the best option as it is all installed for you and has the warranty for piece of mind. they do offer them for as little as free box with 15 install. hope that helps

As You can see they already have a Sky+ box with a multiroom sub.

I'm hoping some one can help me I have recently aquired a SKY+ box off a friend who has emigrated. At the moment i'm just using it as a "freeview box". All was going well untill this morning where i accidently pulled the pulg out and now i have lost all my programme reminders and cant set a new ones and Iam get a message telling me to call on 0870 number... i'm not a customer and have never been one, the house I live in had the sattelite and everything setup when i moved in. Some one please help!! Will it sort it self out or is there something i can do without calling SKY?

I presume you're using the box without a Sky card?

Can you get any channels?

Just for info, so as not to get confused, Freeview is through your aerial, the channels you get through the Sky box are called FreesatFromSky.

koliver_2

No i have a sky card but not a contract with them, so yes i do have the "freesatfromsky" channels. but now it wont even switch on.

Try changing the power lead. If it still doesn't switch on it looks terminal.
