SKY boxes are pooo
« on: May 31, 2012, 04:59:13 pm »
How comez Sky make there boxes out of the same gear that VW use for the diverter valve.  :fighting:
I am not exaggerating i must be on my 12 one now  :fighting: and it looks like i will need another. The piece of crap wont let me watch anything other than my fish tank whilst recording.  :indifferent:

right i'm going in (ringing sky ) someone hold my feet incase i dont make it back.  :scared:

 The first 10 minutes of the conversation will be. Mr Cunningham can you see a lead coming out of the back of your box.  :rolleye:
Follow it until you see a small white thing entering the wall.   :rolleye:
Now this bit is important, flick the switch before you remove the small white thing.  :rolleye:
Ok, now count to 10 ( no cheating ) and plug back in.  :rolleye:
Yep i can confirm it is broke again.  :rolleye:
unfortunately sir, you never took out one of our warranty offers that we send you every waking minute of your life.  :rolleye:

Awaits for Skys ( murdoch's mucker ) to enter this thread all upset that i dare say sky boxes are pap.  :popcornsoda:  :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

they normally don't worry about that, just dig your driveway up without consulting normally..

Sounds like your dish and cabling have issues and is why your going through boxes quicker then I can slam down a Quarter pounder at Maccy D's.

Ask for your dish and sat cables are changed along with your Sky hd box and that will sort the issues.

Surely if there was a problem with the dish and cable it wouldn't work at all no matter how many boxes they replace. ??? This new box has lasted a good 8 months.  :rolleye:

Arh see that's something I know can cause you all sorts of issues and as a customer you won't.  The Dish , cables and main 240 volt cable are the most important aspect of the life of a Set top box. 15 years I've been doing this TC. If your unlucky enough to get a sub contractor visit, he will look for the easy way out by just swooping boxes which won't cure the long term issue. If your going though now 13 boxes, these will go wrong but unless someone that knows how to cure a repeating visit occurring, then this MUST be done.

If its not, then I predict another  Sky boxes are poo thread in a couple of months ...
