Sky Anytimr

Hi

Just got a new replacement Sky HD box and I've lost my Anytime listings. I've only got 1 page of films from Sky Movies HD. I've set up plenty of favourite channels but not sure if Anytime is linked to this. Box has been up and running for 5 days now so any help appreciated, thanks.

    Have you switched your broadband off at the router or modem? You'll only have full access to Anytime while your digibox is connected to the internet.
    Favourite channels are irrelevant, only your subscribed channels make any difference to Anytime (now "On Demand")

    Solved it ... a software upgrade (power off/on + backup button) renewed my menu which changed Anytime => On Demand ... my new box was carrying the old user menu hence Anytime option still showing on red button.

    I'm amazed your installer didn't make sure your box had On Demand before he left, or did you opt for a self install?
  • Yip, self-install. :) ... Cheers, all good now

    A lot of installer'd don't do any software downloads or the like when they do installs.
