After switching on it switches itself off (stand by). Tried switching off at wall no good.:icon_roll

At the risk of stating the obvious, you have telephoned Sky before asking on a predominantly football orientated forum haven't you :icon_wink

That happened to me Lazzer. Try unplugging from wall as well and waiting about 30 seconds before plugging in again. Something to do with static build up. It worked for me.


Failing that ask Newton, maybe he could google you something?......

 

[Tamworth Fox]

Had the same problem too. Had to take all plugs out, all our listings have been deleted.

If it's turnng itself off as soon as you turn it on try BG's suggestion. If that doesn't work it's most likely ****ed. If it's turning itself off overnight you've had the auto standby applied by sky on an update.

You'll need to explain that one Durham. The advice offered in posts 2 and 6 (to which you deemed the tumbleweed icon appropriate) was to contact Sky for advice and/or help.

Why in your opinion would that not be the correct thing to do

1. Sky will offer the services of an engineer at £75
2. Although Football orientated this thread is for techie support
3. Thanks for the advice but after 8 years im well aware how this place works.

Oi Lazzer, I honestly wasn't being funny or 'clever' when posting that. It has always worked for me in the past. It was a genuine bit of advice based opn my own experience. OK?

Are you sure about that? :icon_wink

It is a software problem as indicated in the links I posted. :icon_wink

 

[spionfox]

No. I spelt 'on' as 'opn'.

Thanks for advising me to that error Steven :icon_bigg

So you'd discount the possibility of it being anything else without even testing it?
