Sky......

Is anyone else having trouble with Sky?

Mine has "failed to record" and can't watch programmes already recorded?

Is this just mine - thought it may be batteries needed replacing, but to no avail, any suggestions???

Thanks.. xx

    just you :(

    The batteries will only need to be changed if you cant use the remote. try switching off the box and leaving it for a few mins and switching back on thats what Sky will tell you :)

    It's not the batteries,it's the PSU in the Sky box is starting to fail,eventually the box will fail completely & you wont be able to turn it on.Failing PSU's are a common issue with most of the boxes,especially the Thompson Sky+ & HD boxes..You can get the PSU replaced,the's a sticky in the TV board about it.
