[Closed] Sky box started missing start of recordings???

Mine did this a while back, lots of failures and missed recordings and apparent clashes. Also it stopped ending the recording at the end of a program and would just fill the box. Ended up having to do full on housekeeping (ie loosing all current recordings and planner stuff) which was a ballache to redo but sorted it all out just fine.

Have you fully powered it off? I know that sounds condescending but ours started missing the end of programmes and fully restarting it fixed that. Check the EPG as a programme is about to start/end and see if it moves the line along, ours didn't!

I had lots of problems with missed recordings etc so did a " planner rebuild " which fixed it and didn't loose any recordings either. Planner rebuild is located in a hidden service menu, can't remember how to get to it off hand but Google will tell you.

Had that twice now and planner rebuild with a reboot fixes it, never had to do a full clean.

mine did that last summer and i ended up contacting sky who told me the software needed updating...they did it via the phone line and all has been well since. if its not the software they are pretty good at helping you diagnose and fix most problems

as above do a planner rebuild and if there is new software it will pick it up

Planner rebuild, followed by a forced update.

My box has not been right since the last big format change.

hmm, box seems to say it cant find my network anymore, and i got a new router a few weeks ago, perhaps thats the problem?

I got it to search and it couldn't find my new network, how to I get it to find it?

Although that won't be the reason why it's missing recording start times.

could need an update though?

Could do you and that can be done from the menu.

is the update done through the phone line the sky box is connected to or wirelessly though my wifi network?

Through the dish.
