    I've a sky+box with a few recordings on it.
    I'm visiting a friends house who dont have sky or a satellite.
    I brought my sky+box to view my recordings on my friends tv via a scart lead.
    However, even though the main menu comes up i cannot access my recored programs.
    Any hints?

    The sky+ box will only work if you have a Sky+ subscription, Your friend doesn't!

    There's nothing you can do if it's not connected to a sat dish.

    Thanks
    I dont want to watch any "live" tv, just want to access my recorded programs. I'm dying here, my friends only have RTE & TV3:eek:
    Would accessing the hidden menu help?

    Is the card still in the box? They won't play back if it's not.

Check out the Alignment settings leaflet for the exact settings corresponding to where you live.
    Further details as to how to access the Astra Satellites can be found by visiting the consumer section of www.ses-astra.com. If you are still unsure, we recommend that you appoint a local CAI registered installer to do the work for you. You can go to www.cai.org.uk or call 0208902 8998 to locate a local installer.

    Yeah, it's normal. No signal for more than a couple of hours normally, and the sky+ box effectively locks itself down. Absolutely nothing you can do other than to reconnect it to a dish pointed at 28.2 East.
