Free Sky+ replacement box only by email

supers

We had sky+ fitted on sunday £49 it came in a white box amstrad 80gb and the engineer said it was new as the recon ones are in a brown box and he had never had a thompson one its always been amstrad but since he`s gone my ordinary tv picture is no good and he said it must be your aerial and ill have to get somone out to check it " the sky+ works perfect"then off he went.Now ive got more expense getting it sorted this don`t seem right.

Doesnt sound right to me either, my little sky man re-positioned my dish which has helped. Send another email to Mr Murdoch complaining about the position the skyman has put you in. Hopefully they will assist.

Got sky plus installed in feb the guy drilled through my 1 yr old windows my warranty is u s now because of this idiot, Been in touch with sky for months had no joy then threatened them with trading standards they got in contact waited over 5 weeks for the company that was contracted to do the job the man was supposed to turn out today to see the damaged window and guess what he went on the sick typical trading standards on monday I think anyone else had this problem with them taking the easy option of installing your sky? not supposed to go through the window frame as it lets in noise condisation the lot totally sick to back teeth with them wrecking my windows

Just a quick question if you have things saved on your old box do you loose it all when you get a new box?

Unfortunately yes you do. Unless you have a DVD recorder you can copy the saved programmes to.

Our box is playing up big time. We really want a new one but have too much stuff on it to copy across so are trying to be patient with it
It baffles me why the don't have the technology to hook up a cable to one box and transfer the saved programmes to another box.
Maybe I'll have to invent one :rotfl:

Or why it cannot be saved onto the Sky+ card like they do with mobile phones.

My SKY+ box has been acting up now for months. The recordings skip and jump all over the place. It is impossible to watch some of the recordings. However, this doesn't happen to all our recordings. Is it that the hard drive could be damaged in one place? Any how, my machine is not Amstrad, well I don't think it is? It just has SKY+ on it and no other make?? Could it be Pace? That rings a bell with me but my manual cannot be found. Can someone please help? Are SKY replacing machines other than Amstrad?

Many Thanks
