Hi, is there a way of getting my SKY + box to record after I have cancelled my SKY subscription? Also can I get the the 2nd input channel to work while watching another channel, and I couldn't get the +1hr channels to work
Regards

Nope not possible.

You used to be able to pay sky a tenner a month just to keep the PVR function in the Sky+ box for the FTA channels. Not sure if that's still possible though.

Sorry but on this occasion Manic01 is wrong, there is a firmware patcher for the Pace 3100 Sky Plus receivers which will allow you to do the above. You need to JTAG the box and re-flash it with the attached software.

Regards

Nice one, never knew that.

i have a thomson sky+hd box that came with an expired card and I can record and pause tv just fine

does anyone know if there is a patch for the 250 gig samsung sky+hd box to enable recording via jtag?

ive got one sat there gathering dust and it would be good to bring the old girl back into service

I have a 160g sky plus hd box which im not remewing my subscription for in Dec. Would be great to be able to keep as recording etc freesat box. As smokey mcpot says any info would be great.
