    I was wondering because I have an old pace box that wont update but Sky told me it was a flash problem and the box was goosed..


    As you are now aware Sky employ people that know SFA about Sky.;)


    If you can leave it connected and either switched on or in standby, it should update eventually, all things being equal.

    Hi everyone!! Great discussion you are all having about our lack of channels. However, you will all be very please to know that we have now got well over 50 channels, plus quite a few others in different languages!!!

    But, alas we still are not receiving Channel 4, Channel 5, More 4 and E4, E4+1and Uk History. Do you think that we will receive these channels in time??

    The make is PACE Sky DigiBox DVB Model No: 250085

    Just leave your old sky subscription card (yellow house) in the receiver and it should reativate in a day or so.

    Unless you have a subscription you will NOT be able to get More4 E4 or UK History. Although these are available on freeview they are NOT free on Sky.

    Indeed, and Channel 4 and 5's ( also Sky 3 )will only open once your card has come alive.

    Make sure that you leave your receiver either on, or in standby and connected, the card should open automatically.;)
