Angry fecking sky+

first half of the first game, mrs had gone out so need to get a beer. Imagine my disappointment when the sky plus live pause didnt work


Only got 3 beers in in the first half

Luckily half time, quick removal of the power supply had it working again

Now set up for the second game



this will probably go down as one of the most pointless threads ever

Fancy letting the back up go out. I'd get the Mrs back home lively.

These sort of situations should never happen if properly managed.

I would blame ITV and not Sky for that. As it's up to the individual Television channels to provide the data for the sky planner to work properly. I take it there was no series link offered? Disclaimer: I don't work for Sky, just something I've seen on the subject in the past
Besides I have had internittent troble with my HD box either recording something then won't play back even though it's recorded. Showing as Failed. Or for some unknown reason the hard drive not spinning up and having to pull the plug to get it to work again.
