My experience was on the SD box ( old epg) that anytime would cause a lot of
clashing. I turned it off and the problem went away. On the HD new epg it
works OK with anytime on.

It is worth doing a hard reboot. unplug it and plug it in again after 30
seconds. This clears all sorts of problems.

I use auto padding. I have never needed to use the manual padding . I was
not sure if it would cause problems and I have never had a real problem with
auto .

I have always paid for my box and I still qualified for the £65. it is your
sub they want so they do the repairs cheap to keep you. You may even be
able to get a repair for free if you tell them you wont renew if your box is
duff.

Satcure and similar people do Sky disks it is better to get a disk from
these sort of people because you know it will work. they do big disks too.

Hi gary,
It is an SD box. I should have said ....Anytime is turned off - and
has been since installation.
I will try a hard reboot and auto padding. Thanks for the advice about
it being the sub which leads to 'cheap' repairs.
Thanks
