Sky+ full system reset

Wiggy

Does anybody know how do you do a full system reset on a Sky+ V2 box?

A full system reset is done as follows
*Warning* - This procedure wipes all recordings and the Sky+ Planner contents from your box.

Go in to services press 4 0 1 and select in that order. That will bring you in to installer set up. then press 7 that will do the job.

if your sky plus box is stuck in standby and will not come back on no matter how
many times you press it.

1. Turn off the box at the mains.

2. Hold down the left and right buttons on the box.

3. Turn the power back on whilst holding the above buttons down.

4. Now press and release the standby button on the box and keep holding those left and right buttons.

5. The green record circle of lights should now be flashing.

6. Let go of the left and right buttons and press select twice.

7. The green record circle of lights should now start circling anti-clockwise.

8. After a few seconds the Sky+ box should go completely dead.

9. After a few more seconds the red standby light should come back on. Press it and you should automatically go to channel 998 and everything is back to normal.

I know this an old thread, but I just did the above and 20 minutes later there isn't a gig out of it. Is it f***ed ?

Or will I chance hitting the SKY button ??

I am currently out of contract so I might be able to wangle a new box, what do ye think ??
