    Cant seem to get sky hd box to force update

    strange one this. Because I had nothing better to do today I decided to do a manual callback on my box (using the install menu) and thought maybe I'd be able to manually pull in the new epg (my box is a drx890 so it should be due soon) so did the usual, unplug, hold down the power button on the box and stick the plug back in but I cant for the life of me get it to force update, it used to work fine on this box, infact I know im holding the button the down as it clicks in and out of deep standby, a function this box has if you hold down the power button so why isnt it force updating? have sky killed the option / changed the key presses required in the last firmware it downloaded?

    No biggie as it'll update in its own time but I'm baffled and curious as to why I wasnt able to.

    I've got the drx890, mine updated the other day overnight. When I tried forcing it I held the back up button not the power button
