Does your Sky box crash or reboot
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: GarySargent

In order to assist a user that is trying to complain to Sky about problems with boxes crashing and rebooting, please vote above if you are a Sky user saying if your box does/doesn't suffer from random crashes and/or reboots (that are not due to box firmware upgrades).

Vote wisely for I don't think you can change your vote once cast.

Also yes I know this isn't really a TiVo issue but it does affect its operation quite a bit so I'm happy to let this poll roll on in the main forum just this once :)

It would be interesting to also gather the make of box that people have...

My original Pace Digibox never crashed (although it was slow!)
My New Panasonic TUDSB30 also never crashes... I have occasionaly found it in standby, but that has usualy been after a software upgrade...

However my Uncle has a Amstrad box and complains of it crashing/locking up a lot of the time...

Im sure some makes are more prone to lockups that others...

(Plus my box is well ventilated as they get V hot)

Incidentaly, I bought my new panasonic box to replace the old original pace box from a seller on yahoo auctions.. Its brand new unopened boxed, I paid 160 for it and am very happy with it...
Its fast and reliable.. and the TUDSB31 is now available too.

Now call me a simpleton, but i love the way the poll appears.

Each result seems to come in a bit at a time--very 'Jonathon dimbelby' like.

Is it intentional?

I voted no at first but it crashed first time yesterday, bought it at the weekend... I really hope it was just a freak... I have a Sony box, oldest version

Cheers

i had an old pace stb very very slow but it hardly crashed at all.I now have a sky+ stb (early december) it`s great , has not crashed once nor missed a recording, i use it more than my tivo, i have a standard setup except for an 85cm alloy nec dish could this be the reason

I got so fed up with my Sky box that I decided to unsubscribe today. I was getting a crash every two days. Will stick with analogue channels for a while. Might updrade to itv digital at a later date.

I think it is just the way your browser loads the bar images, I got the beginning and end of each bar and then it filled in the middles...

Hey my first ever post, and it is completely unrelated to Tivo:rolleyes:
