Skybox dead :-(
 

Our lass phoned me at work last night and said "sky box is dead there's no power to it " so I told her I would have a look when I got home, looked and no good, cable is fine so it must be the box, Sky want £65 call out fee and coul be three days wait !! FFS

They should have an engineer at the end of my street just waiting for such disasters :lol1:

That is unfortunate mate. Mine went tits up last year and by signing on for another year I got a brand new 250gb hdbox for £15 fitted and when the guy came to do it he put in a new dish as well. Result!

Hope you get a result too mate.

That £65 will include replacement box

I would ring up to cancel Sky since it has stopped working. See what they say then, you will no doubt be offered a new box on a new contract.

Its not as if Sky are short of a penny or two, they do charge a lot for their service, and if others can get a free box on a new contract it only seems fair if you get one too :)

Ours is on its last legs. I replaced the power supply and hard drive at christmas and it worked fine. Now though its conking out now and again and only records one channel.

Cheaper to get a new box off ebay and get them to key your card to the new box. New hd boxes are about fifty bucks off feebay.

This is what I did, I got one for £40 and another for £35 :thumb:
