Just tried that mate, no joy. Maybe I didn't line the dish up properly, although my signal and quality readings are both very good.
edit - I'll try the card axeman, cheers.

I think I have the newer firmware as it's the Amstrad HD box, pressing services 4 sends me to sky box office lol
I can't find the scan option, anyone know how to do this?

Think thats the old code for the SD boxes mate.
Rods, I went into manual tuning after your instructions and pressed the yellow button for 'find channels', the scan was over in a sec and no channel 5, just a bunch of radio stations.
In typical eastenders stylee, what the 'ells bloody going on?

Hope its of some use to you
Got a new set of channel listing to chose from, selected FIVE, saved and continued. Did a cold boot, still no joy.
Full scan completed but no FIVE lol.
I thought going straight was gonna be easy boyz, this is hard work.

Apparently if this doesnt work you then have to call sky to re-activate them
Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.
