    I've used the thread here to add extra free channels on my sky box, but every so often they seem to all disappear and I have to start all over again! Can anyone advise as to why this seems to happen? Or is it just Sky not wanting us to have these extra channels! :confused:

    What kind of sky box do you have???

    The only box I know of that this happens to is an old Pace box which you would have to re-input all the extra channels if you unplugged it at night...

    ah well there you go then! It is the original Pace box, my husband has the sky+HD in HIS room/office! I am lumbered with the old box! I don't unplug it at night though, however it does go on standby...would this cause it to do the same?

    I really want to upgrade this box to a sky+ but trying to keep bills down and sky bill is high enough as it is, so have to make do for a bit longer!

    Nearly sure too, there was a white Pace box, that lost the Other Channels if you used any Interactive service or digital text.

    Ring Sky about it, I'm sure you can get a deal for a free Sky+ box or look around for a second hand one.

    If you source another box there is no extra monthly costs for having a Sky+ box and once you have it then you could not live without it.

    Only if the second box is being used as part of a Multiroom subscription and not just for free-to-air channels.

    If you do have Sky Multiroom, then yes, Murpho999 is right.

    rang Sky and as we already have a Sky+HD box, we would have to pay €250 to get another one! Talk about a joke! Doesn't even matter that the tv it would be used on isn't even a HD tv! thanks for nothing Sky, as useless as ever!
    has anyone switched to UPC and would they recommend them??
