have you taken your old sky card out? if not try taking it out and do a software update and your sky box will go back to the uk epg with bbc on top instead of rte.
unplug box hold down back up button keeping it held power up and wait until 4 lights come on.leave it alone for 10-12 mins. and when lights go out it should be in standby...after about a min it will light up as normal(may help)
