How long have had that box Carl??

[vRS Carl]

Since March 2010 when I first got Sky HD

Why is it fooked?

[Saintsteve]

Was gonna say that's about 2 years old from the version  number. I'm guessing you've done the pull the plug reset? And this keeps happening?

what manufacturer is your Tv? We are having some issues with failed recordings with certain tv's currently..

pm if you prefer.

Why would the TV affect the Sky Box Steve?

[vRS Carl]

TV is a Sony KDL-40NX803U

But as Ian says i can't see how that would affect the recording  

I've done the reset, Rebuild, Housekeeping (the one that wipes everything), Forced upgrade using Power and Backup button and it still happens.

[Hedge]

Will it blend? 

[vRS Carl]

Probably  but it may meet my friend Mr PE7 if it carries on   

[Hedge]

Orsum. Video it if it does.

Why would the TV affect the Sky Box Steve?

There are 3 tv makes/ models currently that if left on standby, it's causing failed recordings currently on our platform Ian.

currently being investigated by the tech heads, and the temporary fix is that if the customer isn't using the tv, to disconnect the 240volt supply rather then on standby.

Sony is not one of them affected.

sounds like your box is fecked Carl.. Your 1st version 890 box has been superseded since with a lot of improvements shall we say .

[vRS Carl]

Any chance of a new 1TB box falling off the back of your van outside my house 

[Saintsteve]

Lol.. I'd be a very rich man Carl if I could mate.  

2tb is out  ;-)

Surely that would damage it.

2tb is out  ;-)

Really? Where?

I've spoken to Sky about upgrading to a 1TB box this morning and they want £149 for the box and £15 to allow me to fit it myself, I'm only swapping 4 cables over  

I think i will be switching to Vermin Media when i move (if there is Fibre Optic) as i can get everything i get now (120mb BB, Unlimited anytime calls,) plus a 1TB TIVO Box, all the same channels with all the Sky Sports channels extra for £2 less a month The only channel i will miss out on is Sky Atlantic.

I pointed all this out to them including that since i've had Sky+ HD they have had over £1500 off me and all they offered me was a new normal Sky+ HD box for £49 and half price engineer installation.

I stand by my original point - Murdoch is a Cnut

Fair do's mate. But Murdoch has nowt to do with the cost of a hd box.We don't Rent boxes like Virgin do. These cost sky £187 each to make and supply,so subs are there to part cover costs. We cannot hand over free boxes left right and centre, or things like Sky sports F1 hd wouldnt exist ... We are a successful business , not a charity.
