Sky Plus

[Drisgirl]

Thats the 3rd programme this week which has 'FAILED'
when I wanted to record it.

Its annoying and I dont understand why this happens.
Has anyone else had this problem - if so how did you rectify it?

This has prob been asked before but I went through everything first and couldnt find anything to help me.Cheers

Is there a common link to what you were trying to record?

We tried to record a Michael Palin series and that failed. We guessed that it had been "locked" so they could sell the DVDs.

You can see where this suggestion is going .....

[Drisgirl]

No there wasnt a link - the only thing I could think of was because of the weather we have had blips of no Satellite Signal being received.I've tried phoning SKY but I was on hold for ages.

Thanks for your answer tho!!

I had the same sort of thing, part of my LNB was working, I swapped the two wires for the other two which wasn't being used and now it works fine. :)

Cheers for that nub -I'll run that by my husband tomorrow - cos I am thick:)

I found this was due to the cheapo flaky standard hard disk, I used to have this problem on a weekly basis.

Replaced my hard disk six months ago - never a problem since. www.komplett.co.uk for a disk, more info here
