Page 1 of Sky Digital

I was just wondering if anyone was having trouble with picture quality on Sky digital, we have just watched Liverpool v Man U it was a great game but it was almost unwatchable due to picture and sound break-up. We have had the engineer out at least 3 times in the last 6 months about this problem and it seems fine when he goes, but after 5 or 6 weeks the problem reoccurs.
Also the 1 year garantee is up so do we now have to pay if an engineer is called out?

I watched the game on Sky Digital and had no problems.

What a pity Man U got hammered !

C`mon you reds.

<<I watched the game on Sky Digital and had no problems.>>

Fine for me too.

Au contraire! It makes a refreshing change to see the Scummers get whipped. Even if it does mean that Wes Brown loses even more points for my fantasy football team <mutter mutter>

I had a simillar problem about a yesr ago. Turned out to be the dish out of alignment - due to kids swinging on the bloody thing!

"scummers" - what the f**k?!?!??!

Good a word as any for the `them`... well, when you can`t swear...

I had a great recedption along with the great result of Barthez keeping his hundred percent record of losing against Liverpool.

We had great picture, but we can`t get any of the active or text features to work

My box kept on locking up intermittently which meant you had to switch off/on at the mains to get it going again. Rang Sky and they said they`d send an engineer out to sort it but it`d cost 50 quid, told her to go bollox.

Rang back next day to cancel my account and when they asked why I told them that it was knackered, I wasn`t prepared to pay for it fixing and you could get ITV digital installed cheaper. So they replaced my box for free, result.

I had a black grundig (i think ) box and the engineer reckoned these were prone to going wrong, replaced it with a nice shiny Pace unit which matches my DVD player, happy now.

Basically, its in Sky`s interests to keep you on a subscription and absorb the cost of reparing your unit, they`re just moneygrabbing bastards out for as much as they can get.

This is an absolute classic and just goes to show what you can achieve with a little bit of cheek. I`m also having trouble with my sky locking up not being able to change channels etc... it`s also out of waranty so i`m going to try this aswell (fingers crossed i get the same result). I`ve my box since the first week digital came out so i think i deserve one.
