    You shouldn't be bothering your lil head with stuff like technology, pop into the kitchen and make your man a sammich and ask him to fix the Sky box.

    tried to power it off for few seconds what difference will 5 minutes make? and i can reset it properly because my switch to turn it back on is too far to reach when i have both hands on the darn box! what genius invented that solution!

    Finished.

    Unplug it completely. Actually physically take the plug out and then back in.

    And then use the plug to smack TheZohan for being a sexist.

    Whats the logic behind leaving it five minutes? Sky boxes, and electrical appliances in general, have very little concept of time.

    They all have internal clocks. They keep track of time better than you do. :)

    Not before you hit TheZohan with the plug.

    Any lights on? Have you checked the cables aren't lose? Any scart leads are in properly? Have you tried plugging it into a different plug?
