God I hate Sky+ at times. Put the game on tonight after I got in to watch it again and the bleedin' thing packed up after about 30 minutes .

Whats made it worse is when I checked what time it was on again, its only on for an hour, so wont get any after match analysis.

Don't worry about it mate, you didn't miss much - unless you enjoy Eddie, Stevo and Justine talking b0ll0cks for half n hour. Only interesting bits were Agar's thinly veiled digs at Ganson and McDermott almost dropping an f-bomb

before i ring sky and get fobbed off, has any body had a plus box thats jumps and freezes on recored programmes, its really annoying, it doesnt let me rewind either.

Yes I had three and gave up in the end and opted for HD, touch wood it's been fine!

Yups, put down to a failing hard drive and started looking about for a replacement one on ebay

did you get ar@ed about by sky or was it a straight swap, only had it about 6 months

gutted, i take it all your memory gets wiped if i get it replaced

all the time mate!on our third now and game froze after forwarding,had to switch off and didnt work again for 3hours!!they do come out and change it but still pain in the !

best get on the blower, cheers guys.

Yep - i've lost count of the number of boxes we've had replaced:

Failed drives
Losing LNB2 (three times)
Fan running flat out 24/7
Skipping on playback (current box)
Failed recordings
Recordings without sound
Random programs being recorded

as a sky customer for over 20 years i rang up to enquire about getting sky+ they then told me i had to get sky+hd (i dont care for HD) and they were gonna charge me 60 quid for a box and 30 quid intallation. Yet as a new customer its only 30 quid for a box. They were unwilling to give any discount at all. Sod em. im sticking with my beta max

If only Sky had "activated " the USB port on their Sky + boxes so we could transfer anything we had recorded without the hassle of connecting up another machine .
