My guess is that the Philips Video Sender does not work with Sky+.
Sky+ remotes use a differnet set of freq's than a standard Sky box.
I bet the Philps does not support the freq's that Sky+ use's.

The Philips product in question works just fine with Sky+ - I have
one. However, I did find that the strength of the IR-signal emitted
by the base-station (through the IR dongle cable) is utterly crap. So
unless the IR-emitter is at a very specific angle and right-up close
then it won't work.

Were abouts did you stick the IR on the sky + box ?
