Sky+ Box not working properly

bristol_rob

My Sky+ box has stopped giving me the + element. Any ideas what I can do to get the recording functions back?

Odd question, but are the bills payed on time? Sky disable the feature if the bills arnt payed.

And assuming you haven't cancelled Sky altogether. If you cancel your sub, you lose the '+' facilities of the box.

Assuming you are up to date with your subscription and have a valid sky card plugged in, you could switch the box off at the wall wait 10 minutes and switch it on again.
If that doesn't work check both satellite feeds are screwed in tightly, and that you are getting a signal from both feeds using the services menu.
In the event of one failing check the cabling at the LNB(dish) end.

Still no joy ring Sky.

Phone Sky we had this problem once and they resent an activation signal and it was solved

Thnks guys, yes I am up to date with the extortionate charges. I have checked all the connections as well and turned it off by the wall. I think the box may be on its way out, but guess I have to phone those lovely people at Sky.

Thanks for your help

They will probably try to charge you for a callout. If they do, just ask to leave. They'll soon come see you for free.

Fox, that was exactly what I was thinking. Is Sky One on Virgin now? Woudl be a shame to switch as the kids love watching The Simpsons

Yes its back on Virgin, Rupert and Richard kissed and made up.

If new batteries don't fix it, buy a new one.
