Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 12:05:28 Thanks, I'll give it a go when I get home.
Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 19:02:06 I assume you tried the 3 pronged reset (unplugging it)?
I guess if that and the satcure advice doesn't work you are down to trying your box on someone elses dish, or their box on yours. You could always play cancellation chicken with Sky. Threaten to cancel as you can't afford the repair fee right now, they put you through to the cancellations dept who may well offer a free service call. Or may actually cancel the account! Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 19:28:05 Yes Batch, tried all the suggestions above before enduring the pain that is ringing Sky. Went from tech support to customer services then back to technical support and then through to 'Graeme at turnaround cancellations'.
£60 for an engineer to come out and and install a new sky+ HD box, no subscription charges. I'm happy. Her indoors is moaning she'll miss 24 on Sunday night. What a fucking shame. Thanks again.

I'm happy. Nice, are they giving you any HD content. I had heard some people got 12 months free HD subs! Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 20:13:08 No, just the free box. Still cheaper than a call out though which is good.
Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 20:15:06 Yeah very good, and the video on demand launches sometime which only the HD box will support (apparently).
Plus if you have a HD TV to benefit from it then BBC HD, ITV HD and C4 HD are all free. Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Sussex on Sunday, May 16, 2010, 08:12:11 Just doing a bit of dusting in the lounge, as you do of a Sunday, and noticed a lead I hadn't spotted before hanging out the back of the Sky box.
Seems to be working fine now. Ahem :-[ Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Arriba on Sunday, May 16, 2010, 09:26:36 hahaha.that will be the dish feed then.
Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: Power to people on Monday, May 17, 2010, 10:56:20 soapy tit wank - did you get a new box anyway ?
Title: Re: Sky - no signal being received, error 29 Post by: STFCBird on Monday, May 17, 2010, 11:31:31 Will see tomorrow when the engineer comes!
I got to watch 24 though. That is all that matters. |
