Have just had Sky HD. Very nice.
How can i watch stuff we recorded from our sky+ box ? I connected it in our spare room with a scart lead and it will not power-on. The red light is on, but it will not switch on and go green. There is no viewing card ... is that the problem ? There is no sat feed(s) either. Someone has already said they think it may be because there is no sat feed, but i find that difficult to believe....
Any help ?
thx

Think you need a sat fees and an active card to access what has been recorded, u can test this by putting it back in the main room and removing card, nearly sure u need the card too

To view Sky + recordings you need a card to actually activate the record/play features and you also need a satellite signal so the dish has to be connected. I did read a while ago that a Sky update may have changed the signal requirement to allow viewing with no signal for a short time for the odd occasion when bad weather makes live viewing difficult,but I cannot confirm that. Stick the card in and see how long playback lasts
