Ive had sky screen 2 "freeze" on me today...??
The EPG is showing Superman Returns starting at 3.03am and finishing at 11.00am..??
The screen is blank and either "...code up dating.." or "insert smart card" messages are flashing up..
All other channels seem ok.
Has screen 2 changed freq?

Can anyne help me fix this?

Thanks in advance,

El Benno...

That looks like a Box Office. You only get to watch these if someone in your area has paid for it and once their payment 'runs out' the broadcast is cut.
