WARNING - following this advice is totally at your discretion and anything which happens to your digibox as a result is your responsibility, not mine. You will lose all recorded programmes from your Sky+ Planner.

Sky tech support can talk you through performing a system restore over the phone. To do this yourself, press 'services' on your Sky plus remote, then select option 4. Next press 0, 1, select - you should now see the engineer's menu. Choose option 8, 'Full System Reset'. The box will now take a few minutes to reset itself.

Try pausing or recording again, and if the problem persists disconnect the digibox from the mains power. Press and hold the 'left' and 'right' navigation buttons on the front of the digibox whilst you reconnect the mains power. Continue holding the buttons in for about 20 seconds, and when the ring of light on the front comes on, press the 'select' button on the front of the digibox (between the left and right buttons you were holding). The Sky+ recording logo lights will spin backwards and, according to the Sky engineer, this will "clear the hard drive".

Once this is done, disconnect the digibox from the mains power again and this time press and hold the 'back up' button whilst you reconnect the mains power. Continue holding it for about 15 seconds until 3 lights on the front of the box come on and you get a full-screen message saying "Updating system software. Do not disconnect mains supply or satellite dish."

Leave the digibox doing its thing for about 10 minutes and it should be fixed!
Try pausing and recording things again... hopefully you've just saved yourself £65.

If you've not been so lucky, you'll have to get Sky to fix it for you. Some people report that if you ask to cancel your subscription Sky sometimes offer a free callout to fix the problem - you're more valuable to them as a paying customer than the cost of an engineer callout.


Programming the SKY remote to operate your TV Receiver

Before the remote control can operate the TV it must be programmed, a 3 or 4 digit code can be entered to select the correct IR command set, held in the remote control's memory. The database stored in the remote control, holds codes for around 90% of TV manufacturers, and some manufacturer's share the same code.


The easiest way to set up the remote is to input the 3 digit code for the TV receiver if it is available.

3 digit code programming.

Press "TV", then "select" + "red" (hold for 2 seconds) then the three digit remote code, then press the "power" button to see if it operates your TV, if not repeat the functions and trial of codes until it does, once you have found the correct number write it down now test the other functions of the TV it may be that you still haven't got the right code. As easy as that

You can have  the list sent to you via email (the email address that paypal holds for you)  in adobe acrobat format for you to keep.
