could of course always be a faulty modem in the sky box itself.
Just a case of fault finding i'm afraid by trying everything suggested until you are left with no other option other than a faulty modem.

Just another thought, you are not trying to connect through 2 filters are you? eg. If you have an extension plugged into the main socket via a filter, then another filter at the end of the extension, with the box plugged into that. That will give problems.

Re: Sky Box won't call back. (Filter problem?)
Our number is not with held so i don't think that it is that, but i will have a look anyway.
I have since plugged the sky connection direct in the phone socket, with no filter or router connected. When I check system set-up I do now get the message "telephone line connected" (hoorah). However, when I try the interactive services to test it, it looks like it is going to connect then comes up with error message that the line as been interrupted! I don't think then line itself is at fault as we have not had problems with phone-calls or being disconnected from the internet.

Nope, just using the one filter

I could be a dodgy modem in the sky box.

Certainly looks like it, which was my biggest concern. Is there anyway of checking before I contact sky? Originally Posted by Isitme

I don't think there is any way to check yourself, but the TV section of support should be able to test it. I would not try the Broadband support for this, you are liable to confuse them talking about a modem in your Sky box.

Also if you have mobile phone call barring (outgoing) then that will affect it as I found out on a repeat service call! The woman did'nt even know she had it.Something to do with the dial number being a 0870 prefix.
