Im struggling to play back my planner recordings as my Sky HD box is constantly displaying the message...
'Your box is still initialising, please return in a short time to use this feature'.
Ive had my Sky HD box unplugged for the last month or so whilst we've been decorating. Today I moved my box to another room and connected it to a tv simply to play some of the recorder plannings. The box isn't connected to the Sky dish in this room.
Should I be able to play my recordings in this way?

No, it MUST be receiving a signal from a working dish in order to be usable at all.
Would Sky allow me to temporarily suspend my contract whilst I'm doing building work etc. I doubt Il be able to start reusing my box for another month or two.
Failing that, I guess I could clamber up a set of ladders and reroute the cables from my dish and run them into the spare room where my tv is temporarily located?
they are available, just not playable
i wouldn't have thought so, but you could try
you could do that
Im going to start a new thread for advice on re-routing my cables.
That's because with the HD boxes it is possible to still play recording for a short period of time after loosing signal. This is so you can still watch recording from your planner If there's a small storm and you loose signal.
Outside of this the Sky box requires a satallite connection to verify your subscription.
