Well, according to the information I have (now that I have gone back and read it properly), if the version ID starts with 9F21, then you should have had the update. Why it didn't get it has to be down to either a weak signal or a problem with your STB. I couldn't possibly explain anything beyond that. I guess your options are to contact Sky or just wait for the next update whenever that may be.

Or it could be as goOds says. Yes, that's probably it unfortunately, in which case all you can do is wait for the next update and don't force the update.

So if there is new s/w on the cards leave your box be. (Assuming that is you want the new s/w, it sounds like a lot of people would rather they didn't have it.) Miles |

Failed upgrade download.
My EPG Software version is 3.3b.5 -- I want 3.3a.6 -- the latest. Tried forced download THREE times -- did'nt work ie still on version 3.3b.5. What must I do to force the download successfully? Thanks Michael tjr. PS For various reasons (too boring to relate here ) I cannot leave the sat. rx. switched-on continuously -- must pick my times to view and hence download manually. Is'nt life a bitch sometimes!

epg version downloading
Further to my problem letter yesterday -- after downloading in the normal way does Sky continue to download (or perhaps modify existing software) at a later date or dates? Regularly my sat rx has reverted to ch 998 even though left on a program the night before - a sat. rx. already having the latest epg version. What else would cause my set to go to 998 overnight and sometimes even during the day? Regards in perplexity, Michael tjr.

epg software
Hi Miles, Thanks for reply. Details of sat. rx as follows: Name: Pace; Model:
1.3.25 (It could be 4/5years old - maybe more) Version: 9F0103; Operating system: 12S4FB; EPG Version: 3.3b.5. Any clues there? Cheers Michael tjr. |

epg's
I've noticed the same - many "998" prog experiences over the past few weeks. I suspect they may be continuing updating their epg but doing it in small "blocks" of transmitted detailed software -- hence the many "switch-off's" I hope they finish soon -- I've done everything bar throw out the sat rx altogether. Patience patience patience. Michael tjr.

My Pace DS430N got the update sometime last night, the adult channel function will come in handy, but I think the new background looks awful.

I also got the new update last night on the pace 430n. I thought you could customise the EPG to just go through the favourites now, but there seems no difference at all.......

OK, about two weeks ago My Sky+ caved in and they sent out a technician to replace the box. But, that morning he came my old Sky+ got the EPG update. However, my new box didn't have the update and I've tried forced upgrade numerous times and it still hasn't come.
Any advice? |
