RE: Sky effing digital :-(

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Although not particularly elegant, what's wrong with power-cycling? Nice
and
easy to set up (assuming you have an X10 appliance module lying around),
and
it's worked faultlessly on my crappy Amstrad DRX100 for the past 18 months.
It was every day at 3.55am, but I've just reduced it to every other day to
see if it's any worse.

Was away in Eire over Easter.
Only 4 nites away, but a cricial time for TiVo - Friends/ER/F1 Grand
Prix/24

all on in this period.
Did it record them?  No, of course not - the frigging sky box locked up
some

time on Thursday :-(  FFS!!! :-<<

v.v.v.v.frustrating to say the least.

I know some ppl have automated power cycling their digiboxes to alleviate
this
problem, but I'd prefer a better solution.
Are there any boxes out there that do not suffer these lockups?.

Please don't say "SKY+" :-/

cheers,
