New Update?

As Subject line (digibox off this morning so knew something like an update
had happened)

Whats the *System Health Check* in the services menu now all about.

From what I've checked on, selecting it, just brings up a 4 digit number
(Nothing Else noticed yet)

T.W.

Where in services?

I'm not near the TV at the moment but Services Sytem Setup I think it's on
(last line down)

It MIGHT just be Sky+ (Sorry I should have mentioned my system)

I entered the numbers shown which is 4 digits, System beeps like when you
enter a wrong pin for viewing or PPV and another number comes up.

Just a note I did it over six times so entering like you do the PIN three
times wrongly, did'nt lock the box up

I have'nt a clue what it supposed to do unless there's another updater
coming soon to get this new function working?

It doesn't appear to be on my normal digibox... I wonder if this is
the thing which screwed up all those Pace bvoxes?

What problem was that? My Pace box packed in, was picked up by the
installer, and hasn't yet been returned.
It was behaving VERY strangely.

The number indicates the state of the system and would presumably
change if there were problems.

posts below from a thread earlier.. it seems whatever they did screwed
up Pace PVR machines. I think I saw elsewhere that there is now a fix
but a forced install would have to be done.

Mine is also stuck. Just got off the phone to Sky's tech support and
they've been flooded with similar calls today (likely to get worse as
people get home to find no TV, I reckon !).

They are advising people to keep trying from time to time as they're
working on a fix.

Just a coincidence that there was a software update downloaded last
night ??

affected.

I gather that this is really for Sky's use - if you have a problem and
contact them they will instruct you to use the 'healthcheck' and tell
them the results so they can diagnose the problem. It's not intended
for self-diagnosis.

More usefully, the update allows Sky+ users to get rid of the annoying
PIN demand on recordings watched before the applicable watershed.

Interesting, thank you.
I'll ask about that, when I get in touch with the installer, to see
about getting the blasted thing returned.

Does it fully fix the bug introduced last year, though? Can you turn OFF
Parental Controls, ie "there are no children in this household so stop
nannying me", and then not ever be bothered by PIN demands?

It appears to do so - that is to say, the facility is definitely there
and I have applied it: but so far I haven't watched anything which
would be affected and so I can't confirm that it actually works in
practice.
