sharkman

My Sky has started to freeze , it only started this evening , I have unplugged it and reset it ..


Any Ideas ???

DMC

sharkman

All them . Bloody pain . Forgot to mention its a SKY+ box .

sounds like the hard drive is going , if you are still in warrenty get it replaced as soon as you can

Skyuser

Yep I thought it might be a Sky+. It the hard drive. If your in warranty get it fixed for free. If your not, threaten to cancel and get it fixed for free....simple

Tony

I think its most likely dish alignment as a result of last nights storm.

sharkman

Should the installer replace ?

In light of that it may well be the tuner or LNB , are the levels up on both inputs?

sounds like a repeat of your ITV not going free prediction. In reality its impossible to say exactly what the fault is without testing on site, all we can do here is give general pointers as to what may be wrong.

OK guys, 1-0 to Tony about ITV FTA and we'll leave it at that. I don't want to see anymore mention of this in another thread, or it lead to a weeks ban. To either of ye next time. It's not fair to irregular posters here to see flames he/she's not privy to.

Crystal?

Switched it off for the night .. All seems fine now !

DMC

Overheating? Is it in a well ventilated area? All Sky boxes, but espically the Sky+ box, needs air circulating around it.

Great, as Damo says ventilation is very important
