That is the message that we get on all channels.
We have Sky T.V. with a dish and no ordinary aerial.
Is it a fault with our TV?
Thanks.

This happened with me last night approx 12.30 in the middle of a film!
When I got up this morning it was still the same so I did the following:
Turn Sky on Standby
Unplug
Turn card upside down - chip facing up - and move card from side to side
Plug back in
Leave on standby for 1 minute
Press Sky button
Take card out and turn around
This worked for me. I was told to do this in the past by Sky and always try this now before ringing them up. Hope it works for you.0 -
This happens to me from time to time, well usually around 7 in the evening.
Its always fixable by switching the box off at the mains for at least a minute.
The box then reboots.
PS Mine is a Sony STBThat gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
