I am unable to record on my Thomson Sky+ box.
Unfortunately, we only have a SINGLE FEED connected to the 'Input 1' socket, and it is my understanding that the Sky+ box, by default, records using the signal from the 'Input 2' socket.
The result is that the recordings fail.
The 'HOW TO CHECK YOUR FEED' instructions given on sky.com support are not consistent with my box. Re-booting does not solve the problem. .
I know I can fool the box by setting up a bogus Manual recording to start before my desired recording, and end afterwards to utilise 'Input 2' – but this is a pain.
I have read somewhere that it is possible to disable Input 2, or change the default recording channel to Input 1 on some boxes. However, although I know how to access the Installers Page, I cannot find a path to do this.
The PSU has been upgraded to one with better caps, and is not giving any trouble.
Any help appreciated.
