My Sky TV isn't working. When I try to turn it on it tells me that there is no signal. It also displayed a sign telling me there was no internet connection. I checked all the connections and they are all fine so I phoned SKY.

The first guy had me jumping through hoops doing a software upgrade etc and then told me to wait ten minutes and then try again. Obviously this was to get me off the phone and when I rang back having still failed to get connected I got to try a whole load of other useless attempts to get back up and running.

Now I need to wait for a SKY engineer to come to my house to fix whatever the issue is and the next appointment available is 16th August :banger: So, no telly for me until then. I cant even work out how to watch TV online I'm that much of a muppet.

If someone could help with the last bit I would be grateful. In the meantime, I thought the ADSL filter might be goosed but my broadband works fine so it can't be that.

I should find a local friendly ariel man rather than wait over a week for the sky guy. How are things with you auld yin. I havent forgotten about organising a wee night out incidentally.
 
The record option is for the desktop program, you should be able to watch directly in your web browser mate.

Theres every likelihood that your engineer will just replace the box, they done it to me twice despite me telling him it wasthe cable outside the house going round the building. So a new box worked for a couple days then I had to phone again and demand they replaced the line. Engineer came back out and told me I was full of shit and that it was a box!!

Eventually cancelled multi room and got free broadband for a year, now that's ran out I phoned up to cancel broadband to move to BT for the sports and they gave me free broadband for another year.. score =D

Aye last time they came out they changed the box meaning I lost everything I had recorded. It is likely this will happen again :banger:

You've went to the wrong part then mate,you want your pc to be one of your skygo "devices". Normally you just search Skygo,log in with your details then good to go...
