I rung sky last night cause i had picture problems and they said the usual crap reset your decoder and all will be fine. I get home tonight and theirs a message on my phone from a tv tech saying that sky do currently have transmission problems which would explai:mad: n the rain fade signal on my tv tonight even though its not raining. But he also said that sky hope to have it fixed over the weekend. |

Switched on Sky just after midnight today (Friday)......"Sky will be down for up to 3 hours for upgrade"...or words to that effect. Some channels were off air but some still broadcasting, although bitty. By the time I woke at 5.30am Sky was back up and I noticed the weather channel (58) was quite a bit smarter than usual |

Not much of anything from Sky is new I'm afraid....same old recycled repeats. I don't know how they have the audacity to charge hard earned cash for it. The only reason I subscribe to it is that I wake most nights around midnight and an hour or two of watching Sky reruns usually sends me back to sleep. The word "smarter" described a quicker speed of loading not a change in appearance. |

| 484465 | 2006-09-16 02:13:00 | I had that problem quite occasionally though the past week, rang them, they said they're doing urgent maintenance to the network and it will reduce the rain fades that randomly occur... the weather been gorgeous here lately so cant blame the sun! Just hope they get that new satellite out in time or News LTD will be asking for money from sky like they're asking NZRFU for resting players....since we cant watch the rugby world cup.... Its weird...i've even had sky working 100% in a thunderstorm but on gorgeous days it crapps up...:lol: |
