Sky Upgrade- Just done it
Sky Upgrade- Just done it
Got up this morning to find my sky+ box, gone wrong, the standby light was blinking, and would not go out of standby, tried everything on the net and gave up
Visited Sky's website for technical help, and found that they have an offer of free sky+HD, with 10 per month for HD pack for 12 months, free set up (as I choose the self set up)
Looking forward to HD now !, and hope it worth it !
Oh it is!!!!!
Football esp is AWESOME in HD.

The PSU is a VERY VERY cheap part and failsa lot, it is the same on Sky+ and SkyHD. Remove it change all the 15 caps and hey presto 99% of problems solved. Buy good quality 105C caps not the rubbish sold in Maplins.
You can of course send it to one of the people on Ebay who repair it for something like £25.
Marsdendean I'm on virgin, and booked sky to install. I ended up changing, just because of the lack of "Catch up TV", music videos on demand and a few other features,
Yes virgin does not have a lot of HD channels, but IMO, the broadband & TV is miles better than skY1
jsj24uk I have sky+ and I really don't like it. Most mornings I turn it on and it says No Satalite Signal but if I turn it off and on at the mains it comes back. I used to have Virgin+ and it's loads better in my opinion.

SHAHZ My sky+ box has done this a few times, typically after the warranty ran out! cant remember how i reset it now, but you loose everything on the hard disk......guess you would have tried it anyway......been meaning to upgrade to hd for a while now, perfect time now i suppose with the world cup around the corner:thumbup1:

ive recently moved from virgin to sky as i moved house and cant get virgin,
although the sky+ box is alot faster than the virgin at loading etc, i would always go back to virgin if possible,
free HD offerings, cheaper overall, on demand is far greater than sky
loved it, but sky does what it says on the tin, jsut at a premium!
got me self set up today with box,
got it installed, like the new menus and stuff,
just got to check out HD now, friday night with jonathon ross is in HD tonight, so will be comparing them both.
