Does anyone else suffer from lost recorded programs? It has happened twice now and it isn't individual programs which are being removed but whole pages. About 20% of the hard drive is still free. We often record 10-20minute children programs but over the last month first one page of recorded...

Hello, Can any of you help me with some upgrade advice please? My parents have the Sky World package, they've had it for years so are out of contract. They have so much trouble trying to record things using a VCR that they've given up even trying, so I think that they'd probably find Sky+ rather...

Has anyone recently had a Sky+ box replaced with one of the newer ones with more storage? Our box will be a year old at Xmas, so would like to get a newer one with more storage out of them before the warranty runs out. Bobby

Will I need to do some sort of rescan on my Digibox (a la Freeview) or will it pick up the new channel automatically? TIA

Anyone know how much a replacement box is from Sky? I tried to call them but they said I would be waiting on the phone upwards of an hour! If they can do a Sky+ box for £49 how much are they doing normal ones? Bobby

I've reduced my subscription to Skyfreesat for the winter (only interested in the cricket), thinking the service would be the same as a Freeview box. But now it seems more and more of the better channels are appearing on Freeview but not available on Skyfreesat (noteably E4 and More4). I'm thinking...

As Sky+ records everything to enable instant rewind & doesn't know whether my TV is on or off it seems that the hard drive is recording over & over again 24/7. Apart from turning the digibox off, which is impractical due to programs I want recording, is there anything I can do to preserve the life...

Lately on my sky plus box several programmes I have recorded have been vertually unwatchable when playing back. The sound is constantly dropping out, picture frames jumping, dosent seem to freeze just misses out frames when the sound drops out, I guess its a messy hard drive or something.! Should I...

Am I still right in thinking you just need to call Sky and give them the new box serial number, or whatever unique ID they have, to have viewing transferred on to a new box? Bobby

Is any one else suffering what I would describe as warped sound on itv 1, I am in the yorkshire region and its been getting worse over the last couple of weeks! During x factor tonight its been happening 6, 7 times a minuet, Sounds like an old warped record!!! Still doing it now.. Anyonelse got...

My nice shiny new SKy+ box has decided this morning that it can't CH- below 104 and can't CH+ above 992. Selecting 101 obtains the guide info but with a "technical fault" banner, 996, - 998 cab ve individually selected by number. Most odd. It's a Thomson 123_118, version 4E2102. 1.31A0E, EPG...

Sky+ set to record six feet under on E4 via series link, this week the recording stopped before the end of the episode ffs, the length was showing 63mins ?? Any ideas what may have caused it ? TIA
