    As far as I know the sky box takes about 4 minutes to boot properly.

    Until then you just get the blue screen saying searching for listings.

    By turning off, do you mean putting it in standby or turning off at the mains?

    Same happens here. I change channels and that gets everything back to normal.

    I usually don't turn it off at the mains, and just power it off with the remote control. It's easier.

    The other channels must be pin protected,do a full reset of the box to wipe the protection.If it's a HD box press SERVICES-0-0-1-SELECT to get the installers menu & use the option for a reset.

    Plugging an aerial into the box will give you nothing-it's a satellite receiver.
