sky+ freezes, turns off, wont switch on etc?

Also the weather affects the sky+ box too, especially rain or muggy weather. The dish is pointed in its optimum direction for general weather, so any severe weather variations affect the dish.

To make the sky box do a system update, hold " back-up " button on the actual box ( not remote ), with the button pressed in, turn off the power, keep it pressed it for 10 seconds. Hold " back-up " button in again and turn power on, keep pressed in until all coloured lights turn on at same time, should get a screen saying the system is updating itself. Hopefully this will fix any probs !

switch it off at the mains for a couple of minutes then turn it back on - this usually fixes it.
