That's the one I used

 

Quick question - do I need my HD box connected to the phone line in order to get this update? I ask as normally mine isnt due to location of the phone socket in the lounge.

Cheers
Simon

 

Nope through the dish mine isn't connected to the phone line either

 

Well I got the new menu last night

and it doesn't work for me now

 

Scrub That its working now

Didn't save the channel Dohhhhh

 

Ours changed this morning. Personally I prefer the old menu.

 

Me too

 

And me, takes bloody ages to find what I want now- although maybe I just need to learn to use it...

 

You'll get used to it you can turn the mini tv off so you can get full screen planner.

 

Aaargh I must be the last person to get it. Not really bothered about new epg just want the ability to watch ITV HD esp with Arsenal v Man Utd next tuesday. ITV SD sport on Sky sucks

Simon

 

I still haven't had it either, you're not the only one. However, I'd just be happy with a box that worked properly rather than one that decides at random which stuff on my series links it records

 

Did you all get a new viewing card?

What make of box do you have?

I still don't have an update - samsung box.

I want ITV HD.

 

No not yet. I've got the new sky mag that says they're sending new cards out 'over the next few weeks'. But then the mag before this one said they're updating the HD boxes with the new epg 'in the coming weeks'.

 

Got the new EPG last night, no new card yet, no ITV HD for some reason.

 

What card? Have you Manually added the ITV channel?

 

no update yet

 

samsung box. nothing yet.

 

Had the new EPG for a few weeks now but still no new card.

 

Viewing card, they're sending out new ones to all subscribers. I've tried adding ITV HD again, and it works, well if you call a screeen with a caption syaing "ITV HD. Service currently unavailable." I'm not worried I rarely watch ITV (Insipid Trashy Viewing?)

 

how do I get ITV HD? Got the new epg this morning.

 

Dont worry, googled it

 

where's the source for the new cards? I've had mine a few months now and our sky team haven't heard anything

 

Sky are advertising this themselves on their channels saying they will send out new cards to all subscribers.

Simon

 

still nowt here in belfast, no new epg, no new card

 

No change here either although did get the big black envelope from Sky saying coming soon.....lets hope soon is before Tues night and Champions League on ITV HD

Simon

 

so did i simon but honestly what's the chances. Pigs will fly before Sky........oh wait a minute they already have

 

It won't be long till the software comes to you theyre rolling them out by manufactures. When my welcome leaflet come it was 2 days later

 

our box keeps freezing and restarting, a fookin right pain it seems to do it if on pause and im viewing trying to catch up by skipping adverts etc, sometimes doesnt record things properly a real royal pain in the butt to be honest


and were now out of our 12mths warrentee

 

anyway to force your skybox to get the new s/w?

 

(1) Put box into Standby.

(2) Remove the viewing card and put it back in the same slot UPSIDE DOWN (remember which way up/round it was!).

(3) Press and hold the Back-up button on the Digibox, not the remote control.

(4) Whilst holding the Back-up Button, switch off the power to the box at the mains - either with the switch on the socket or by removing the plug.

(5) Count to ten slowly.

(6) Keep pressing that Back-up button and put the power back on to the box;

(7) When all four lights appear on the Digibox, release the Back-up button If your Digibox is connected by SCART, there will be a message on the screen stating an update is taking place and that it can take 10 minutes. However, it can take longer.

(8) When the box goes back to a single red light, leave it at least a full minute before taking it out of Standby using the Sky button on your remote control.

(9) Remove the upside down viewing card and replace it the right way up.

(10) The box will switch to channel 998 - the Sky demo channel (it may say Searching for Listings - if so just wait until it finishes).

(11) When that clears, do a Services, 4, 5 to check to see the Operating System Version and/or EPG Software Version numbers have updated (the Model Number may also have changed)



Step 4 is neccessary because if you power off first and then press "Back-up", it does not clear all the old software so follow the above exactly for the most reliable results
