Sounds like the RF output channel of the Sky box could be clashing with the local trerrestrial channel frequencies. The default on a Sky box is Channel 68 (although you're may have been changed?) Try different RF Output frequencies not forgetting to retune the TV each time. See here under Installer setup>RF outlets on how to do it Services Menu on Sky

The sky man came and said whats wrong, so i said its stuck in standby he then said, is it a thomson and is it making a funny squeaking sound. So i said yes. He then said right and went to his van. Came back with a big white box and said your lucky i dont have any refurbished boxes on the van without even looking at the old box. He ...

Without a phoneline of any kind in your house you can't have Sky multiroom - because both boxes must be connected to the same phoneline. If you only had one phone connection point in your house you could still have Sky multiroom - by using a wireless DECT phone extender to connect the second box (wherever you site it) to the one phone connection point, which is presumably close to where the ...

If it's Cat5 you're likely to have problems over that distance. The question is how much effort will it be to replace a cable that doesn't do the job?

Try a forced download as this seems to cure a multitude of problems Sky Digibox software - forced downloads Against which postcode was the card activated? This shouldn't be necessary, but if the card has been out of the box for any length of time it may have missed the 'keep-alive' signal. Left in a switched on/standby box it will update within 72 hours (usually much less). but I think...

you must recycle all electronic items these days otherwise god frowns upon you so have they disabled your old "freesat from sky" card?
