Hi,
I just bought a 2nd hand sky+box (Amstrad 160GB), but unfortunately no
Manual.

Question 1/. Anyone know where I can get a manual?

When I try to copy a recording from the Sky+ box to an external DVD
recorder, I get prompted for a PIN. I tried 0000, 1234 and the PIN suggested
by the previous owner however none of them are accepted.

Question 2/. Does anyone know the default PIN or a way to reset the PIN?

Thanks
F

Just ring Sky.

Related problem, can you record and playback?
It sounds as if you can record without the PIN since
you say "I try to copy a recording", so you made a
recording without the PIN but can't play it back.
Presumably you can view the recording.

After you have got the PIN sorted as per other replies then check the
settings in Services - Parental Control - Other Restrictions. You are
probably trying to copy a recording before the watershed so turn the
option off which requires the PIN.
