The channels in question (well, all of them really) are 'wrapped' with the EPG data. All of it. Which is why it takes up to an hour to refresh the EPG. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||

| 860590 | 2010-02-23 01:31:00 | There are a few different models floating round. There's one or two models from Motorola, and AFAIK the rest are all Pace, including the small silver one and MySky. I've never seen it happen on MySky, yet. Have you tried unplugging the box? The ex has this upgraded last week and does the same as her old sky you can view a few hours ahead and some times no listings available Must be the set up |

| 860592 | 2010-02-23 08:43:00 | It would be nice if someone who works for Sky and knows the ins and outs of the system can tell us why this sort of thing happens and why it cannot be corrected. If they can broadcast a programme 24/7 why cant the programme guide do the same. | Cptn Hotshot (3904) | ||
| 860593 | 2010-02-23 08:55:00 | Because you have an old box which has beggar all memory to hold all the info... has to keep looking for it. This was how the Sky tech guy explained it to me. Complain, ask for a new box and tell them to go jump about paying a service charge. Ken :banana That's what I once thought, that the original Pace 600 decoders were low on memory and later ones were faster. Last time I asked if a change of decoder would improve things the Sky CSR said they had quite a few later models and they were all slow. I suspect they've nobbled the standard decoder to push you towards MySky. |

Funny how I had had Sky for 17 years and never had a pixelating problem until this unit was installed.... drove me nuts. Sky went through the reboot options etc. and then said they would send an installer round to fix it, but if it was my fault, I would have to pay the service call. I had only had the darn thing about 6 week, with problems all the time. I blew my top at that! That being one of the reasons I dumped Sky! Ken |
