    Not all Sky boxes are the same there are many different models.

    My HD boxes are really fast maybe you should think of upgrading.

    I have no signal at all the passed 2 days. Phoned Sky and they talked me through some steps... Turn it off and on! and some setup menu stuff. All useless.

    I've been told to wait a couple of more days... It might fix itself and that wind has been causing problems these days. It will cost 100 euro for a tech guy to come take a look!
    Why should I pay someone just because the Sky service is not working!

    As you said, is has been slow lately too. I have a Sky + HD box so it may not be your problem.

    Anyway.... Back to my DVDs!

    Having a lot of stuff on the box will slow it down, along with age. As for the €100 charge, tell them to put you through to cancellations, I find it soon disappears ;)

    This has been happening to my sky+ hd box too. I was on the phone to sky the other day for another issue and they said all looked ok on their end. Weird.
