573225 2007-07-30 00:17:00 Have you tried unplugging the decoder from the mains for 15 secs then reconnecting? (the Sky equivalent of "take two asprin") PaulD (232)
573226 2007-07-30 00:19:00 Have you tried restarting your Sky decoder?

I'm not experiencing any problems here in Wellington :)

Yes, I should have mentioned I have exhausted the full Sky repertoire of fixes (ie I unplugged it from the wall for 60 seconds). :lol:

Sounds like it's time to call them.

Additional info - I did the "Check Signal" thing yesterday and noticed that the right hand side level (quality ?) is down below 20% - in the past was always 70 - 80% so I suspect some dish movement during the recent bad weather.

573228 2007-07-31 10:16:00 Does that mean that you will be able to use a Sky decoder and Freeview receiver at the same time on the one dish?


So Skys update is done and dusted (presumably).
Has any one got their freeview box set up successfully in tandem with the sky box ?

573230 2007-07-31 14:25:00 According to their website yes Sp00n (9907)
573231 2007-07-31 14:57:00 Well my flux capacitator was momentarily at a loss when the time continuator has a surge of polarised in-flux thus rendering the transmorgrifier to a etheral state making my processed chicken talk in languages I have never heard before....ah yes i see the problem, the negative charge of the thermal existerator has reacted to the synth made atmospheric protabulator. Hmm yes.


Man, the scientist off futurama should have his own show!:lol:

Hmmm indeed. Although I thought about the nedi actuator for a minute, before I came to the conclusion that the tandoidal influentiator mechanism and the apploid reductors were at fault. Basically it meant that when the alterating fixitaloid fluid was too low, then the superunabitulator would fail to detect any loss of frequency in the siezure mechanatron system.

Nevermind... the techs finally worked out that the Garuus ragnolite instrument they used to diagnose the problem was faulty, so all's well. :thumbs:
