sky box engineer tricks

[EAMO 2]

Nice idea - and uniquely not one I've seen suggested anywhere else!!

1. The planner doesn't exist so my recordings are not viewable/playable so therefore not recordable .

2. However you give me another idea - could my HDD be swapped into another SKY+ box and maybe all my recordings would "reappear"?

1 If planner cannot be accessed, don't look good
2 Don't really know the answer to that as have never tried it but
would think removing HDD from box would delete everything as
Hdd may be paired with box. Cacti will tell you when he's round

HOPES THIS HELPS

DIY SKY PLUS REPAIR



SPECIAL NOTE - If the following message is displayed - "Recording Interupted" - when recording or live pause is attempted:

9 times out of 10 it means the "Sky viewing Card" IS paired with a Sky Plus Box - Just not the one your using!!!

what is the cure for this I bought a new box off ebay and I get the recording interupted message?

sky + box is only recording one programme, it wont let you watch any other programmes, any ideas?

[cactikid]

sky+box usually has 2 sat cables inserted into rear of box one for each tuner,if only one is in its view or record not both.

sky+ hd

my sky+ hd has just lost its lnb input2, have tried powering down changing both inputs and powering up. Have tried a hdd reset and software download. All it does after reboots is try to find listings.

I was so hopeful that I'd found an answer....but I think my box is dead

I've done all three steps but I'm still getting 'No satellite signal' . Also it is telling me that I have no signal strength or quality in either input BUT I know I have signal from dish etc (when I saw the sky man up the street I asked him to test it for me!)

Any further ideas please as I now have no TV (no normal ariel) .....

BTW i have sky+HD

would really like to know how to setup the SKY hd box myself instead of paying ?60 for SKY to do it

is there any way to access your recordings if you have cancelled your subscription. They have told us often enough that we own the box but now we can't watch or record anything

I notice nobody replied to this. I am having the same problem - can't access any recordings (planner blank) and error HP-52J when trying to add new recordings.

Further to the prvious post.

I've tried accessing the secret menu by "System setup - 0,1,enter" (also tried 0,0,1,enter as suggested elsewhere) and nothing happens. I'm assuming that "system setup" and "Sky+ setup" are the same thing. Also, "power-up with left right" does nothing but "power-up with backup" does load latest software. Where am I going wrong?

I have Amstrad Sky + HD box.

Services - 0 - 0 - 1 - Select

will get you to the "secret menu" on a HD box.
