Problem with 1TB BOX

[Bosa608]

well, finally sorted out. Engineer (a couple of weeks ago) called out and shrugged shoulders and replaced the 2 year old 1TB box for a new one. Had problems pairing the card, phoned Sky, said that was a bit odd as my viewing card number didn't match their records and they would have to send me a new one. In addition no subscription channels until it arrived. The next day subscription channels were active. next day same old symptoms appeared (exactly the same). Got back onto Sky who advised that I wasn't going to be receiving a new card but they were "updating their records" with my card details. a few days later "hey-presto" everything working! Shame we lost box full of recordings but on the positive side have a new box....

Cant believe it, old problems are back!!! The fix lasted 10 days. Another email sent to Sky. Groundhog Day.

The problems stopped after 4 days and 2 reboots. Now running the new EPG then tonight, same old problems are back. Can't believe it.

Help?

Sorry for the delayed response.

Could I suggest that you contact Sky directly over this? It might be a good idea to visit the Sky forum as the key people behind the Beta testing within Sky are monitoring their forum.

If the box has been changed it suggests the problem is elsewhere. Cables, lnb, dish etc.

My thoughts exactly. Last night I (after another meltdown) swapped the 1TB with the multiroom box to see what happens over there:- no Anytime+, different location, different cabling and therefore different input into the LNB (although still same LNB). Will see what this brings...

News: decided to swap my 1TB box with the +HD box we use in another room.


After a couple of days exactly the same symptoms have appeared on the +HD box, whereas the 1TB box in the multiroom location is (so far) okay.


Now concluding that the problem either lies with the LNB or Anytime+. I've disconnected the later to see what happens now; the 1TB box is not connected for Anytime+ in the multiroom location.

Anytime + is unlikely to have anything to do with it, more likely the LNB/cables. If there any chance you have water in the cables to your box?
