Sky + New software glitch

    We have two Sky plus boxes here and both exhibit the same fault on playback. It's a bit like the way a CD would skip briefly if it was dirty but if you rewind the part that skipped it doesn't skip again in the same place, it just seems to happen randomly and only since the new software update. Anybody else see this problem?

    It seems sky have really messed this one up I'm also getting lots of failed recordings with "Reason Unknown" as the failure message. I think I will force download the original software to see if it fixes it.

    When I turned on my Sky+ tonight it was on the demo page, so maybe they've sent another update. Either that or it's another glitch!

    Hi Shane I had the demo page yesterday am and thats when the trouble seems to have started. Turning the box off from the mains for 30sec seems to have worked . However I've noticed the sound seem stops for sec or so ITV and the BBC and SKY 1 seem particularly bad.

    My box was also on 998 when I turned it on yesterday. The only problem I saw was that a recording was missed, but I think that could have been my own fault. I was watching one of the music channels and the on screen warning appeared about not being able to record two programmes while watching another. I just turned off the box but one of the programmes failed. I probably should have gone to the right channel first. :rolleyes:
