Sky+ problems - 2 fixes!!
Hi all, I have spoken with a Sky engineer today at my home and you know what to do if your Sky+ is acting up? 1. Try a major software download reset, unplug your box then press and hold the 'back up' button on the front, plug your box back in while holding the button for over 10 seconds until a black and white update screen appears, your Sky+ box will then download all previous updates which may have been corrupted, and your box may be fine, this cures 90% of all aforementioned problems.
Option number 2 though.... Open up the back, find out the make of the hard drive and go and buy a 1.6GB hard drive from a PC shop (yes they are exactly the same hard drives that are in your home PC), fitting is a doddle, a few screws to release it and reconnection of the ribbon cable. The drive updates itself and off you go. You do need a small Torx screwdriver to get the rear panel off. There you go, a Sky+160 box for well under £100.
