Anyone else having issues with their Sky reception tonight?
Mine isn't working at all although the power light is on and all cables are in right places....could it be the weather? it's a new Skyplus box, well 6 months old so I can't imagine it's goosed already.:eek:
 
it will be the heavy rain Lindsay. Sky do insist on fitting the smaller zone 1 dish around here, its ok 'til you get bad weather then you wish you had a zone 2 dish instead.
 
Just checked mine out and its perfect, I have Sky HD which is more temperamenal than ordinary Sky +
 
Glad it's not just me ! It was fine last night and was happily recording "Supersizers" on Tues so I didn't think it was the box ! :confused:

Our's is working fine. Have you tried pulling the plug out, leaving it for 20 seconds then plug it back in.

That ususally works for us.

lol... are you an IT tech?

"have you tried turning it off then back on again??"
 
I'm not an IT Tech, that Ians job:)

But yes we have had to pull the plug a few times over the past 12mths.

Thats what Sky told us to do the first time it played up.
 
Can someone give more info on the price increase? i cant remember seeing anything

It's in the letter you get with your Sky magazine. It's going up by £2 per month, but it's still cracking value in my opinion.

Didnt even open my magazine, I get a monthly bill, they should have sent it with that
 
you do have to question why its going up. its not like they have new satellites to send up or anything :D

still with Freesat now online maybe they are trying to screw as much as they can before people defect to that.
 
It'll be a long time before Freesat challenge Sky, especially with HD content. The only ones they're going to entice away from Sky are the ones on the most basic package.

Sky have just settled a pay increase action with their employees, so that's what the £2 per month will be going towards ;)
 
I'm glad they didn't hold out for more then!!!


:D

As for freesat, I reckon as people get closer and closer to income < expenditure their 'need' for Sky One might become less important in teh scheme of things.
 
Have tried unplugging and re plugging several times, nowt happening, if it's not back on tomorrow they will be getting the sharp end of my boot !:eek:

That may well be true. :)

I still find Sky to be good value for money and the £2 increase is still only the price of inflation on a full package (approx 3%). For the package I now have (I removed Sport until the new football season starts), it works out at about 60p per day, but even for a full package and HD it's still only around £1.70 per day. If you work out how much it costs per hour of entertainment, it's much cheaper than many other kinds of entertainment. It certainly costs me more than that for a couple of hours on The Stanley. ;)
