Sky Box Update? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I returned home to find that my HD box had been reset (switched on to ch.998).

As there were no signs of a power-cut, does anyone know of any updates doing the rounds? I've got a Pace box.

The only one I know about was the first stage of the anti card sharing anti piracy measures.

Hasn't there just been a new EPG update ?

Something to do with some channels that stopped broadcasting a few days back I think. Sky like to remove these from the EPG pretty quick.

I've not known channel addition/removal/changes to trigger a reset before.

I'm wondering if its anything to do with Anytime+ which is rumoured to be imminent, however I've not seen anything on my LAN to say that the Ethernet port on the box has become active.

(It's already wired for internet access simply because I had everything apart recently when SWMBO decided to re-arrange the lounge).
