Sky+ box
My sky+ box has a lower % free disk space than it should :(
With no recorded programmes the total free is something like 64% :Yikes: Anyone know the quickest way to re-initialise the disk? Will phone sky, but wanted to know if anyone had heard of this b4? |
Re: Sky+ box
You should press services>system setup> then 0 then 1 then SELECT again.
Now you will have the engineer setup. Try planner rebuild first (which SHOULDN'T loose anything) If this doesn't work do a full system reset which will reformat your HDD. The full reset will loose ALL recordings and things you have in your planner. edit - it can take up to 3 - 4 mins for the full reset so don't panic if the box doesn't come back on immidiately. edit (Again) - if you don't have planner rebuild in your installer menu you don't have the latest sky+ software... |

To do a full software update. turn the power off - press and hold backup ON THE BOX NOT THE REMOTE. Plug back in and wait for all the lights to come on. You should get a message on screen telling you it's updating. |

Re: Sky+ box
I don't suppose you could expand on your error?
I got up this morning to find all my films that I was about to copy onto dvd unplayable as they had changed overnight to %0 used in the planner. I tried deleteing them - but had to do a full reset to get the space back. Have you seen this on your sky+ box? |
Re: Sky+ box
I have, its a common problem, i recorded 2 episodes of Scrubs from SKy 1 last week and although it said it had recorded then the yellow bar at the top was tiny and you couldnt play them.
Upon deletion of the programs 6% of my hard disk space had dissapeared. A planner rebuild wont fix this frustrating error, onlu a full system reset will, but i'll be buggered if im going to do that because i will loose all my planned recordings. This is a well known issue though. What DarthYoda says is right though - goto DigitalSpy they have loads on it. |

I'm trying to find out if it's a faulty box or a software problem. It sure is a pain in the arse. Cheers for that :) Dilli edit - I see you found my post on digital spy ;):D |
Re: Sky+ box

Have a look at this thread here... http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...light=firmware |

I have a pace v2 now - I was given a pace v1 when it was originally installed but it broke within a week. |
Re: Sky+ box
To be honest it dosent really happen that much but its annoying having the missing disk space.
