New Sky+ software search functionality by
BrritSki[_3_]
I just went to look at what rugby was on in the next week. Previously
the search function would let me choose SPORTS and then RUGBY and would
show me everything in the listings.
Now those options are gone and I can only search for a specific program
title (searching for RUGBY only shows me titles that start with that
word, not every title that contains the word(.
Any suggestions please ?
TIA

sky store film downloading by itself? by
Anonymous[_2_]
Last night, I went to the Sky Store to download a film (Guardians of the
Universe vol 2, as it happens). After entering pin, film was marked as
downloaded. My internet access is of the order of 2MB/sec, which was why I
was planning to start the download last night, so I could watch it today.
There is no way it could have downloaded instantly. Looking at the
information in the planner, it tells...

Accessing Sky HDD by
[email protected]
I have just upgraded to Q unfortunetly that has meant we have recordings saved on the Sky HD box which are not currently available On Demand. Is it possible to extract the HDD from the Sky box and insert it into a caddy and access the files using a PC or have Sky got it all sewn up through DRM?
Any other suggestions welcome.

Missing Channels. by
prospero
I'm hoping someone can cast some light on a strange glitch that started yesterday (7/3/17)....
Some channels display the "Your SkyHD box is not getting a signal..." message.
Others are fine. Typically, it's the ones I like that are duds.
But the plot thickens.
On checking the signal strengths, Input 1 and input 2 both show good strength and quality on some channels. Others show no input 2 and...

Strange Sky HD to second TV problem by
Graham Naylor[_3_]
Hi,
I have just upgraded the Sky box in my living room from Sky+ to Sky+ HD, the
main TV is now connected using an HD lead rather than the SCART lead that
was in use previously. Originally the Sky+ box was connected to a second TV
in the kitchen via a Co-Axial lead, this worked perfectly. However when this
lead was moved onto the HD box the second TV had a very grainy picture and
sound that...

The LED was not flashing when the button was press. The batteries are new.

Advice on next TV by
[email protected]
I've just upgraded from Sky+ to Sky+ HD and installed the new box
today. Everything appears to work OK apart from one all important
thing: the volume buttons on the remote. I cannot change volume or
mute the sound. The only way to do so is using the *old* remote.
After an hour's googling I've still found no solution. Many seem to
suffer a similar problem and the most frequent suggestion made...

Sky On Demand by
Jeff Gaines
I am towards the end of series 2 of The West Wing using Sky On Demand.
I am watching in standard rather than HD to reduce the load on my Internet
connection.
The series are now all out of order and jumbled on the On Demand part of
the EPG. The HD episodes are in proper order.
I have powered down and re-booted the Sky box but it has made no difference.

Sky + Box using 1 Satellite Cable? by
Graham Naylor[_3_]
Hi,
On our multi-room Sky connection we have been using an old Sky box (pre
recording days) which only uses one satellite cable, this box has now died
after many years use but we do have a Sky+ box that we used to use in the
living room before we upgraded to HD. Is it possible to use this Sky+ box
with one satellite cable just for watching Sky and not recording and if so
which of the two...

I have a SKY box with a lapsed account ( ie essentially a freesat service ), my very old TV has given up the ghost and I need to replace it, but was wondering if I get one with Freeview will the existing service from the SKY box over-ride the Freeview built into the TV ?

Sky+HD and DVD recording by
John[_34_]
We have a Sky+HD recorder (an Amstrad DRX 890C) but not the HD service,
only SD. We also have a Philips DVDR 7260H, which is a stand-alone
DVD/HDD recorder. Both machines have HDMI outputs which go up to the TV
- selecting HDMI 1 on the TV means that you can watch the Sky box; HDMI
2 means you can watch the DVD Recorder/Player.
I record lots of music videos from Sky Arts 1 and BBC4 on the...

Sky EPG by
Jeff Gaines
This group seems to be close to moribund!
My Sky EPG is playing up, it doesn't seem to store listings any more, it
always shows "no listings available" and I have to wait for it to
down-load them.
Is my box about to die or is there another reason?
Is there a better place to ask Sky tech questions?

On Demand by

The wife finally decided that she wanted the TV On Demand box plugged in.
I watch very little TV so I'm thick on these things.
Okay, Superhub and Sky box thing plugged in, correct network etc.
It did not work. Sky support said all my settings were correct.
I'm only getting 31% wireless signal strength to the On Demand box, but I
may be able to get more if I mess with the settings.
Is 31%...

As it's a standard broadband router why can't I use it before the swap from

Can I stick with my current Sagem router? Not that I probably...

Re Sky + HD Box to Spain by

However I want to leave the box down there and just take the card out as and

work with the card as Sky pick up on the fact the box does not marry up with
