Sky News Active Not Available In Roi

mmc

Sky News Active is no longer availabele in the republic of ireland. When you press the red button it now takes you to Sky Active and the option for Sky news active is not their. i Phone Sky and they said that this service is only available to the UK from Today. everybody phone sky technical department and complain.

what!!!!! i haven't had a chance to see it yet but i will go on what you say. it's an outrage. until it's sorted out have a look at SNA by rebooting the digibox without the card in it, unless that has gone too :mad:

Tonight I tried accesing SNA and all that came up was that blue menu with the other interactive services.The words cocksucking motherfuc*ing cvnts come to mind:mad: :mad: News active was sky digitals best interactive feature with handy live feeds,a great entertainment section and a good general news section too.The peop,e at skydigital must be getting managment training from the people who brought us eircom.Skys service has been getting increasing erratic in recent months with a load of epg faults for me anyway but this takes the ****ing piss.Ring them,email them,set up a satirical website in the style of www.errorcom.com and www.erinselbow.com/errorcom ,whatever it is do something!This cannot stand!Why couldnt they get rid of theiur ****e shopping services that no1 uses rather than the one we all use? :mad: ****ing muppets

interesting to hear their reason, bloody hell, there will be no one with a sub soon i think, fta card seems to be the only way to teach them manners.

Hmmm, I'd say it will be back...

They will want us to vote on the poll of the day, they will not pass up a money making opportunity like this. Maybe they will be trying a Irish version of SNA, that allows us to dial in and vote....

I hope thats the reason. Otherwise, I'll be on the blower registering my disgust..

Just another reason to stop subscribing in December. (Thats when my year is up.)
BBC News 24 is better anyway.

It's working fine for me right at the moment. Proper news Active, not regular "play games please" (in case people accuse me of not being able to tell the difference)

I'll be a bit miffed if it disappears though.

Newest software release (since last night)

Sky News Active is there this morning.When you press the red button it brings you to the active menu, included in the menu is the sky news option. I checked it and it works ok.:)

crisis averted any changes like voting on there?

Hi,
I had no sna last night either, i came back, this morning, as posted by DamoDMC i myself reckon, that the'll be launching a SNA ROI shortly, with voting, to a 1580 no. probaly @€;1.90per min, also maybe they would do a regional slot for ireland e.g the main irish headlines for the day, but i suppose i can keep dreaming !!

Regards netwhizkid

Last time I checked this evening it wasnt available-just that blue screen with something like house prices or something at the top.If it doesnt return permanently email them
news@sky.com
I think the reason that it might be taken away is cos they waqnt to limit our oppurtunity to do anything but watch ads while the adbreaks are on.They realy want irish advertisers.Yesterday I noticed the active icon on during the break.Great I thought,little realising that by this stage SNA was gone:(

It works fine for me here...

Its not gone away, others now are getting "new Eire services" when pressing red on Sky News, so what they did last night was deactivated SNA while they got the new Irish version up and runing, which seems to have appeared now.

Gopher, I would try a forced download if I were you, in case you have missed an update during the day.

Also, the red dot on Sky News does go away during ad breaks, it has always done so for ages now...

Mossy Monk

2 things which i think is good about this update:

you can remove the active button until you change channel by pressing red followed immediately by the backup button. this couldn't be done 2 days ago as the active button always came back within seconds

we can access SNA during the ads

its all there in the archives, no need for more sticky's or as i suggested before an FAQ

Tony

yankinlk

that's your opinion.
what sticky's do u speak of that we dont need more of? there is one sticky and it aint usefull for info. other forums use stickys for FAQ's so wether its FAQ or sticky its the same thing.
other people agreed when i suggested it, so it can't be that awful an idea.

while im at it, this forum would like real nice in technology. its very hard to find for the average punter. no flaming, just my opinion.

i like this forum, but i think in order to help it grow, a friendly usefull sticky would help. in fact one in every forum would be really helpful.

" A Forced Software Download"

plug out the digibox from the mains, leave it plugged out for 5 mins, then plug it back in and press the Backup and the on-off button together at the same time, hold them together for about 20 seconds, you should see all the lights on front of the digibox light up if you done it right, leave it that way until the lights go off (N.B Dont plug it out or disconnect it from the dish) while it is downloading the latest software, it is a glitch in the digibox that causes the problem . It wont cost you money to download the latest software, best of luck with it anyway,

The procedure i told you is Called " A Forced Software Download"

I agree that some kind of FAQ would be useful, but I have no idea what the above sentence means !!
