    Very pleased that following my update a few nights ago I'm, once again, able to use the blue button for ITV HD and Ch4 HD without the channels jumping back to Ch 998 after a few seconds.

    Are you using a NI card?

    A NI card will give you the full card trick without the need for the blue button.

    Anyone using a NI card experiencing any problems since the last update? My sister has a UTV card and the rewind etc appears to be freezing - picture sticks but it continues to rewind I think. Pause is a bit hit and miss etc.

    No I can't say I've noticed any problems. Has her box been rolled back to the earlier version. I didn't have any problems with either versions.

    No idea about a roll back. Apparently there was a message on the screen the following morning saying it had been updated. She didnt see it herself but another family member seen it.

    Both my boxes were rolled back to version R008.063.49.08P seemingly the latest version is ending in 09P. Both versions working perfectly for me with my NI card.

    No, unfortunately.But not jumping back to ch.998 is a great improvement.

    Great news. Jumping to ch.998 was the only reason I bought the ni card.

    No the latest version is R008.063.49.08P it was rolled back to this as there was a problem with the 09P version.

    Did you do the card trick again or did it just correct itself?

    Because of the update when I switched on Sky I found that the box had reset itself so I had to redo the trick and discovered, the following day, that the jumping back to ch. 998 had stopped.

    When was the 'back-date'? I must have done the trick again after it. Recorded Lucan in full last night without issue.

    Both boxes on 998 this morning but I can't see any change in the box details. They still are R008.063.49.08P.

    Sounds like you haven't saved the correct regional variation of Channel 5, go and add them all to 'Other Channels'

    No, as you can't tune them into 'Other Channels'

    You can't because the sky box doesn't allow it - whatever card you are using.
