860578 2010-02-22 06:31:00 Why is it that so often when you hit the Sky programme guide on your remote that you get "listings temporarily unavailable"? Most frustrating.:groan: Cptn Hotshot (3904)
860579 2010-02-22 06:48:00 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.

860580 2010-02-22 06:57:00 An old box? It is one of those silver ones and was only installed 12 months ago to replace one of those old black ones.

So what (other than My Sky) replaces the silver box, if that is where the problem lies?

860585 2010-02-22 09:24:00 We got both Sky and telstra ( different rooms) the telstra was only upgraded late last year, they both lag in the program guide sometimes. wainuitech (129)
860586 2010-02-22 09:24:00 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?

860587 2010-02-22 09:35:00 This is what I got from Sky when I complained about the program guide.

Please note that you must leave the decoder on a Sky Channel to get the EPG listings.
If it is left on TV1, TV2, TV6(Ch 16) TV7(Ch 97), MAORI, TE REO, PARLIAMENT or CUE EPG listings may not update. EPG listings come back if the decoder is on a SKY channel. It can take up to 60 mins for the
listings to come back.


Seems to work when it feels like it. :illogical
