Getting second "feed" to multiroom sky HD box

 Hi.  I have been meaning to query this for ages, so here goes.  When Sky fitted my multiroom box a number of years ago, only one "feed" was installed to it.  My main box has 2 "feeds".  Obviously with only 1 feed, i cant record a different program to the one i am watching, and this is frustrating.  Is there a way i can get a second feed into the multiroom box, or will sky need to do this installation.  It is a standard Sky dish on the wall and main and multiroom boxes come from the one dish.  Thanks  Dave

Your question/request has nothing to do with Sky Broadband.

  • New sky+hd box wont allow recordings

    I got a used Sky+hd box from a friend and set it up fine and paired my card etc. but i wont allow me to record or playback anything. I currently have all the Sky channels and multiroom as this is an upgrade to my original skyHd box. Any help on getting the recording feature would be greatly appreciated.

    Then I can only suggest a full system reset. (this will delete everything on the box) http://help.sky.com/articles/reset-your-sky-box If this does not work, try again in the morning, and if it still does not work, the box may be broken. !!!!!!!You can try ringing Sky, maybe your sky plus sub is not active.!!!!!

  • Sky+ HD box unresponsive, slow and sometimes just freezes requiring a reboot/power off

    Hi, I have a standard Sky+ HD box which must be a few years old now with the following specs: Model Number: R010.070.87.00PVersion Number: 9730B3Manufacturer: Samsung Recently the box has become really slow to respond to the remote control when either watching recordings or just live TV.  Also, frequently not responding at all after a period of time which resorts in a power down using the power off button and unplugging the mains, leaving for 30 seconds then plugging back in.  this issue seems to happen most whilst watching recordings although it has happened whilst watching live TV also. I appear to be running the latest software so these issues really all point to the recent code update. I have also performed several planner rebuilds with no affect/improvement at all. I've checked the batteries in the remote, which are fine and new. The box is in a well ventilated cupboard, stood on chocks to allow airflow all around the box. I rang Sky from work to report the issue and get help but the engineer could not help me unless I was in the same room as the box, so this is my next step to call them whilst at home. I wonder whether I can push this issue and get another box or a newer 2TB box gratis rather than having to pay the £150 fee.  this could be the tipping point to force me over to a different option such as Freesat or Nowtv etc This is so annoying and is going to make TV viewing over the christmas period a real pain for all the family. Thanks for any help and advise, Cheers, Jason

    I'm getting the same problems with a Sky HD+ 1TB Amstrad DRX 895 - On power-up from cold it's OK, but the longer it's left on, even in standby, the slower it responds. Eventually it just hangs, and the problem is getting worse. I found that turning off HDMI Control in the Settings improved matter a bit (why does it default 'on'?), but that just delays the inevitable. At first I suspected a software problem, such as a memory leak that built up until it crashed the box, but the fact that it won't run properly after a reboot - even after powering off - unless it's left to cool down, suggests it's a hardware fault. Some previous Sky box models have had power supply problems when the box reaches a certain age - the capacitors start failing, causing the same kind of problems. I had such a box, and got a replacement power supply kit which fixed it. I think it's likely the newer boxes have this problem too - they're built with the cheapest components that don't last well. You might find the SatCure site can help - they have lists of repairers around the country who can fix Sky boxes or sell you DIY repair kits, or refurbished Sky boxes for less than a new one. I'm going to check out my local repairer.

  • Sky hd box interference with laptop

    Hi Everyone I am having a rather odd problem , we have 2 sky hd boxes , 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs both are connected to the internet via wi-fi , we also have a multitude of devices that also use the internet via wi-fi in the house like ipods laptops x-box desktop computer and mobiles  , the problem is when the laptop is being used the sky hd box UPSTAIRS  loses connection and i get an error message saying cannot support hdcp ??? this only happens with these 2 devices , i can be on my mobile , the xbox can be on and the UPSTAIRS box can be fine , or i can be on the laptop and the DOWNSTAIRS box is fine but soon as we are UPSTAIRS watching telly and the laptop goes on ...bang we lose the connection and get this error message..... any help ????

    Hi  it's been a while, I know, but have you managed to fix this? If so, how did you do it?
    If not, it's something Sky may want to do some work on, so can you tell us:
    Your Sky+HD box model number (Services > Settings > Details)
    The make & model of TV
    Other than your Sky box, what other equipment do you have connected to the TV's HDMI ports?
    Does unplugging them correct the issue?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Watching bt sport using a sky + hd box

    Currently i have the bt broadband/phone /tv package with a vision + box recieving standard broadband as fibre is not yet available where i live.My question is this.........I have a sky + hd box from when i used to have sky(im no longer a sky customer) and i would like to know if i can watch bt sport through this sky box so i can watch the sport in hd quality rather than the patchy picture i get now through the ariel.I still have my old sky viewing card in the sky + box but would it still be active/recognised by sky?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to cancel sports on your box and then ask for it to be activated on Sky which will start a new contract. You need to do this by phone however as I found when I took this route,

  • Sky+ HD box keeps crashing

    Hello everyone,  For the last couple of months now my 4 yr old Sky+ HD box keeps crashing. It will easier freeze on the TV guide or freeze on a channel, making it impossible to switch over to a different channel. The only solution I have to this is to switch off and then switch on again. The other issue that I am experiencing is that my series link and reminders regularly fail. Again, the only solution is to switch off and on again. A combination of these errors is happening every 3-4 days. can anyone offer any solutions. I am loathe to purchase a replacement box plus delivery at almost £200 when these are being given away for nothing to new customers. Many thanks

    But of an update following my earlier post. A planner rebuild along with deleting my deleted programs is only a temporary fix, as is power off and on. The problems seem to come back within a few days. If anything, the issue seems to be getting worse. When it froze over the weekend it took 30 minutes to be able to get a picture back on my screen after switching the sky box back on. I have now tried a forced software update over the weekend and am hoping that it resolves the problem wore long term.
    There is a notice on the help and support website from Sky which seems to be related to the problems many of us are experiencing, although not sure if over the same period. It says a fix should be available this week so it will be interesting to see what that is and whether that has been the root of everyone's problems.

  • Sky+HD box freezing

    I am aware of the problems with freezing HD+ boxes in January, the correspondence seems to have died down now. However my box which is a Samsung still freezes every 5-7 days or so. I have done all the recommmended fixes but still have the problem, it looks like I am stuck with it?? I could get a new smaller Sky HD+ box, but in order to preserve my recordings I would need to tranfer my existing hard drive, can anyone confirm that this will solve the freezing problem. I am guessing that the problem lies in the hardware in the Samsung box, and not in the data on the drive. Thanks for any info.  Jim

    Yes, this was a problem which affected some Samsung and Pace boxes and was largely resolved by a backend change which Sky implemented - hence the sharp drop in posts on the subject.
    For those boxes still having the problem, Sky recommended a Planner Rebuild, and a Full System Reset (which would delete all your recordings). If there was still a problem, the advice was to call Sky. Subsequent posts highlighted that those customers were given a replacement Sky box to solve the problem.
    Other Sky+HD boxes don't have the same freezing problem.

  • Sky HD box keeps losing signal but is fixed with a power cycle

    Hi all, I'm having issues with my Sky HD box. Every day  (recently), I'm having to powercycle the box to get a signal.After the power recovery the signal is fine, so I think the dish is fine. It's seems the the box is losing signal while it's on stand by mode. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Jason

    I had this problem too but in the end the solution was for Sky to come out and replace the dish and LNBs, since when the signal has been perfect. I would check what signal strength you are getting - I believe it's in the settings menu.

  • Fix low volume output on Sky HD Boxes

    Here a suggestion for you. Why dont you fix the low volume out on the Sky HD boxes? Loads of people have complained about it. Do something about it.

    I have finally found a very cost effective solution to this problem.  Cancelled Sky subscription and got Freesat with a Humax box.  This does not have the fault that the Sky HD boxes have.  In fact it has an "on the remote" volume control, and when this is turned to max the volume is exactly as it should be.  The volume control works both the HDMI and the analogue outputs.  Additionally there is also a mute button on the remote, again muting both outputs.  Perfect.  Cost effective because since I have been a Sky subscriber for over a decade, now cancelled, assuming I would have stayed with them for another decade I have saved myself £4121 including the initial cost of the Freesat box.  Quite a shocking amount of money that I will be saving, having calculated it.  Shame on Sky for not correcting this software issue when it was first reported by many users, especially as the volume function used to be there and they removed it.  For those thinking of doing the same as me, the Freesat / Freetime system is excellent, the EPG is as good as Sky and the "roll back" TV aspect of the EPG far superior to that of Sky.  Picture quality is at least as good (probably better as box is Full HD)  The BBC iplayer implementation is also not the "cut down" version thst Sky have also implemented (another software short cut that bugged me), i.e. it is the same as you'd see on your PC / smart TVs with FULL programme content.  What you don't get is Sky Atlantic but since I never watched this in over a decade made no difference to me.

  • How do I get back 'Don't Show Again' dialogue boxes?

    How do I get back 'Don't Show Again' dialogue boxes?
    In particular:
    I've got an interactive form with a 'Submit via Email' button. Normally, when you select this button you get two options:
    1. Send via desktop email application (e.g. outlook)
    2. Send via other email applications (e.g. hotmail)
    Previously I've selected the 'don't show again' check box which defaults to the second option.
    Now I'd like to select the first option but don't know how to get this dialogue box to come up again. How is this done?

    You can use "Edit => Preferences" and select the 'General' category, click on the 'Reset All Warnings' button, and click the 'OK' button to finish.

  • How to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

    how to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

    dude there is no matter of structure .........that user already said its from employee table ...............its basic table in sql and there is no need to specify the table structure
    .........i think u got my point I think you are the one who didn't understand Sarma's point.
    Give a man a fish and you feed him once. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him a life long.
    >
    and the query is
    select max(sal) from emp where sal<(select max(sal)
    from emp);
    this will give the 2nd max salary from the emp tableBtw: You solution is bad, because it needs to scan and sort the table emp twice. And a better solution has been given already.

  • Sky + HD Box wireless connection to broadband

    Trying to connect to broadband using a Netgear range-extender (the router is some way away from the Sky box).  I'm getting 'Fail' and no on-demand service! Any thoughts or advice?

    Wifi range extenders are usually not that effective, a much better method is to install Ethernet home plugs; these distribute the LAN down the mains cabling, so you don't need to run an Ethernet cable between the two points for connecting your Sky+HD box to the broadband.

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

    How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?  I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems.  They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it.  Any help would be appreciated.
