442021 2006-03-30 08:59:00 No Sky here on the lovely West Coast either - looks like DVD's for me tonite :annoyed: And yes - its not rain fade.... ManUFan (7602)
442022 2006-03-30 09:02:00 Not here either - Sky recently has been c **p - mostly due to the introduction of My Sky, the software has produced endless "listings temp unavailable" messages which has completely ruined my ability to preprogramme my viewing.

Perhaps an inducement to get MySky - no way Hoosay.

All I want from Sky is what I pay for and I'm not getting it.

442023 2006-03-30 09:06:00 If the satellite is kaput then it is certainly an interesting conundrum. Were they not currently doing a rollout of new dishes (or the receiver part of the dish) to receive stuff for MySky? I guess they'll have to accelerate that. gadgetophile (10101)
442024 2006-03-30 09:06:00 I've just discovered a "limitation" of MySky. You can't play back recorded programs without a sat signal. A message to that effect appears when I try to do so. Bugger!! Mackin_NZ (6958)
442025 2006-03-30 09:07:00 No Sky here in Southland, none at my friends in West Auckland.

What I hate is that stupid message: "Rain Fade". Rain? Where? Siberia? Why don't they just pu a real message up - tech tripped over cable, satellite shot down or whatever...

Grrrrrrr.

442026 2006-03-30 09:07:00 Wasn't the satelitte they use (OptusB1 (www.lyngsat.com)) scheduled to be replaced last year? The satelitte was launched in 1992 so it's real old anyway. yzhu (9783)
442027 2006-03-30 09:08:00 Hah, satelitte fell down there. Currently reassembling pieces.... pctek (84)
442028 2006-03-30 09:11:00 Aye, and they should also stick up a basic 10kb static page on skytv.co.nz that says "Yes we know there are problems" for all the people who don't know how to search for PC World forums posts... gadgetophile (10101)
