I had an Amstrad installed at the weekend and am very happy with it up to now! I can't fault the picture, but I've no other box to compare it toSome boxes can hang when ECO mode is enabled forcing them to go to sleep overnight. The problem is that the box cannot be 'woken up' forcing a power off and on to recover or in some cases a software update is needed. If your box is one of the ones affected by this problem it's probably worth disabling ECO mode and seeing if that helps. I know that my 2TB box hangs with ECO mode enabled so I have my boxes set to Active. To change the mode go to Services > Options > Sky+Setup > Standby Mode and set to ACTIVE or NONE. To get here press Services, 0 and then 5 on your Sky remote to get to the Network tab and then select one of the three ways to connect the box to your wireless network.

Sky+ HD 2TB review | TechRadar

due to a problem with the Seagate ST277R hard disk shipped with the PC2386 model, these had to be recalled and fitted with Western Digital controllers. Amstrad later successfully sued Seagate, but following bad press over the hard disk problems, Amstrad lost its lead in the European PC market. [3] 1990s [ edit ] Amstrad GX4000 video game console (1990) Very quiet, and I found that the SD picture sharpened slightly by setting the output on the box to automatic and let the tv do the work. I'm in the process of restoring my Thomson HD recordings to the Amstrad and noticed that its got a 320GB WD hard drive (model: WD3200AVJS). I wonder if the extra 20GB is available for recordings or if its split 50/50 with anytime or if its not available for use at all The Sky+ app is worth installing for several reasons as well as the avoidance of clashes. I myself use the app in conjuction with MySky reminders to add programs to my Sky boxes without disturbing what the family is watching on the TV right now. You can also delete programs and browse channels without bringing menus up on the TV. Two scary words for any SKY+ user are "Diskless mode". This is where your SKY box can no longer read the contents of its hard drive. Something has happened to the data on the drive such as corruption caused by a power failure when it was writing to the disk. You could try updating the software but chances are that won't fix your problem. The IT gurus among you could remove the hard drive and connect it to a PC and point a tool such as Spinrite at it, but again there are no guarantees although I have heard of limited success with using a hard drive repair tool like Spinrite followed by a system refresh.inch tv from Granada with built in sat receiver and videocrypt (cant remember make was something like Finlux) Damage to the cables. Call an engineer if the cables are dislodged from the metal housing or the nozzle is bent or broken. Your box can fail to receive a signal for a variety of reasons. Working from the dish to the box the failure reasons include bad weather, dish movement, obstruction such as tree in full-bloom or man-made structure between your dish and the satellites, faulty LNB, water ingress where the cable connects to the LNB, damaged cable, moisture on the F-connector at the box end, frayed wires or bent centre wire at box end, software failure or box hardware failure.

If you get a message that says, No Satellite Signal is Being Received – Error 25 or Error 29 you can try resetting your digital box. Thank you so much. First generation.... that probably explains why i have so many niggly faults with it since the last major software update about 18 months ago! After weeks of trial, we've begun a phased rollout of the enhanced electronic programme guide (EPG). The first boxes to be updated will be the latest Sky+HD boxes (890 model) and the Sky+HD 1TB (895 model). The rest of the boxes (780, Samsung & Pace) will be updated later in the year.
