slow blue button

[negerove]

installed sky+ box and noticed that using FAVORITES (blue button) button is slow. once u press it, it takes around a second to see the change on the screen, so i can;t flick through my favorite channels fast, i have to press, wait a second, channel info changes, press again, wait another second, info comes up. all other buttons show instant reaction.
Amstrad Sky+ box.

any ideas ?

thank You

have you tried a reboot of the box?

[negerove]

how is this done ? plug it off, then back on after around 10 secs ?

[reddwarfcrew]

that'd do it!

no luck i was thinking batteries, but it is only the blue buttons which is slugish, the rest work fine. and the funny thing is: blue button is the one i use most )

[reddwarfcrew]

you could try a planner rebuild (not that this should be linked)

GO:

Services
4
0
1
select
7

failing that, a full system reset (as above, but 8 not 7). NB this will WIPE your hard drive.

what do you mean by "0" ? there is no zero as option. when i go to services, then 4 (system setup), there is 1 to 8 only.
by the way, my planner is empty and hdd is empty. shall i go for full system reset ?

[reddwarfcrew]

its a secret menu. press the sequence as described and ignore that nothing appears to happen at first.

yes go for opt 8 then.

[negerove]

no luck. i guess i'll be calling sky 2morrow for replacement, cause it REALLY drives me crazy.

[reddwarfcrew]

replacement what? Box or remote?

Probably worth borrowing a neighbours remote (or popping around their's with yours) to prove if it is the remote or box.
