Quick question - do I need my HD box connected to the phone line in order to get this update? I ask as normally mine isnt due to location of the phone socket in the lounge.
Cheers

Aaargh I must be the last person to get it. Not really bothered about new epg just want the ability to watch ITV HD esp with Arsenal v Man Utd next tuesday. ITV SD sport on Sky sucks

I still haven't had it either, you're not the only one. However, I'd just be happy with a box that worked properly rather than one that decides at random which stuff on my series links it records

No not yet. I've got the new sky mag that says they're sending new cards out 'over the next few weeks'. But then the mag before this one said they're updating the HD boxes with the new epg 'in the coming weeks'.

Viewing card, they're sending out new ones to all subscribers. I've tried adding ITV HD again, and it works, well if you call a screeen with a caption syaing "ITV HD. Service currently unavailable." I'm not worried I rarely watch ITV (Insipid Trashy Viewing?)

where's the source for the new cards? I've had mine a few months now and our sky team haven't heard anything

(1) Put box into Standby.
(2) Remove the viewing card and put it back in the same slot UPSIDE DOWN (remember which way up/round it was!).
(3) Press and hold the Back-up button on the Digibox, not the remote control.
(4) Whilst holding the Back-up Button, switch off the power to the box at the mains - either with the switch on the socket or by removing the plug.
(5) Count to ten slowly.
(6) Keep pressing that Back-up button and put the power back on to the box;
(7) When all four lights appear on the Digibox, release the Back-up button If your Digibox is connected by SCART, there will be a message on the screen stating an update is taking place and that it can take 10 minutes. However, it can take longer.
(8) When the box goes back to a single red light, leave it at least a full minute before taking it out of Standby using the Sky button on your remote control.
(9) Remove the upside down viewing card and replace it the right way up.
(10) The box will switch to channel 998 - the Sky demo channel (it may say Searching for Listings - if so just wait until it finishes).
(11) When that clears, do a Services, 4, 5 to check to see the Operating System Version and/or EPG Software Version numbers have updated (the Model Number may also have changed)
Step 4 is neccessary because if you power off first and then press "Back-up", it does not clear all the old software so follow the above exactly for the most reliable results
