Just ordered mine.

It takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Of course if you already HAD a Sky Navigator Remote it would take 2 !!

Skyuser

I done all that but it just keeps saying please wait. Would I need the phone line in?

Yes, it is an online service to order this, so you will need the phone line in. National call rates apply.

I have also ordered one, but I'm not sure I'll even use the keyboard features. This was the first time ever even going online via the Sky box. I'm not intending to make a habit of it.

Yep, it would have been a help alright.

I've got one here already, never really used the keyboard UNTIL NOW , but handy as a second Sky/ Sky+ Remote.

Good spot.

watty

Almost certinally, hopw will Sky know otherwise.

kilasser

I never have my box connected to the phone line and have no intention of using the interactive services. I will use it as a second sky plus remote to use with my magic eye in the bedroom.:D

Skyuser

Mine is retarded, it keeps saying please wait n thats it.

Our man in Havana

Good find, I shall order in the morning.

norbert64

You old cynic Mossy, they would never do that! :eek:

How do you know this is free?

DigiDec

It tells you on the order page that its free

watty

4 to 6 weeks it said. Well I have a sky eye but no spare remote. So this will be handy.

With 8 real PCs, & two laptops and even a PS2 with a HDD and Ethernet port on the Broadband I can't see me using the Sky Internet again. I wonder does that Web site work from a PC?

Phone line disconnected again...

Moanin

Worked fine for me also!

Sparky

I noticed how after I was finished 2 minutes later the green online light comes on again for about 25seconds.

Not that I have anything to worry about.

smashey

Just ordered mine. Easy.

Stimpyone

Tried to order one this morning and it said they had no more left, just given the last one away apparently:(

Did that message come up on the screen or did you ring up one of the goons?

eorpach

Just tried it there myself and it took my details no problem. Said at the end to expect delivery in four to six weeks. Guess they haven't quite run out of them yet....

By the way, thanks for the info Kilasser!

paconnors

skye

Me too....No probs.

ffocused

I just ordered one too...they still have them

_Kaiser_

Just ordered mine successfully too. Tried yesterday and got the "no more available" message, so guess they've extended it.

bauderline

Thanks for the top tip !

Went home last night and signed up for one, no problem, 4 - 6 weeks delivery.

Thanks again !

Baud.

Darn - all gone! "Due to massive demand ..."

Hmmm.
Tried getting one there for my sister's Sky+... It has had the effect of knocking off all the "other channels"

Damn and blast.

Just tried it, all gone

Confirms my theory that the reason some people lose other channels and some don't is memory related. Memory originally used for "other channels" with recent SW updates is obviously sometimes needed for Personal planner or Interactive features. I'd guess that those with never any problem have either more memory in th ebox and/or never use or put little in to Personal Planner, or other non-TV watching activities.

Skyuser

They've started to arrive today for some people in UK on DS. Maybe here on Monday or Tuesday.

kilasser

I got mine yesterday . It can be used with standard sky box or with a plus box.

DigiDec

I wonder can they be used with a SkyHD box?

Got mine on Wednesday.

Rizzo the Rat

Got mine today also. But can someone tell me how to set it up to work my Sky + box? It works my ordinary Sky box ok. There were no instructions with it just a statement on the cover saying it is set up for ordinary Sky boxes.
Also i cannot get it to work my Philips TV despite following the instructions and entering the code 0081.
So any help appreciated.

DMC

RTFM. Its there.

Q. Will Sky Navigator work with Sky+?
A. Yes. Sky Navigator is compatible with Sky+. As its default setting Sky Navigator is automatically programmed to work with any Sky box, however you can easily re-program it to work with Sky+ by following these simple instructions:

1. Press "tv" button on the Sky Navigator

2. Press and hold down "select" and the yellow button together for about 2 seconds, until the red LED on the Sky Navigator flashes twice.

3. Press "1"

4. Press "select", the LED on the Sky Navigator will flash twice

To reset your Sky Navigator to operate a Sky Digibox carry out steps 1 and 2 and in step 3 press "0".
