Sky + not available

Hi,
I spent ages on the phone yesterday to get the Sky box rebooted and reset (?) after it suddenly just wouldnt work. Finally this morning I could get the box on and TV working - except the Sky + functions are not now available. It tells me to press Select to reset but this just sends me back to the reboot :eek: (I now know how to do this without the phonecall!)
So, short of having to get an engineer to visit for £65 does anyone have any ideas of other solutions for me?:)
thanks

Yeah, phone and cancel, tell them you are going to Virgin as your box is broken.0

Sounds like, during the messing about yesterday, whoever you were talking to remved the Sky+ authorisation from your card and forgot to re-enable it.
Another phone call to check that aspect is necessary.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
