I hate my digibox!

The same thing has happened two weeks running now - I've set the video up for Buffy & Angel, left it on Sky One (and it's set up to Autoview them anyway), got back, and this week it was taping Sky Sports 2, last week it taped Kerranggg!

The autoview seems to go back to the last channel watched. At least this week I got in at 8.55 so I've got Angel and I can tape the repeat of Buffy (so the Prophet can rest easy), and one of my tape circle's mum has supplied last week's Angel, but still....GRRRRRRR!!!

Odd. I've been using this feature for the whole of S6 and it hasn't failed me yet. Though, three weeks ago the sound conked out 20 mins into Buffy, so the remainder of it and the whole of the following Angel episode were in complete silence.

White Hart So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Apparently we had a power cut last week when we were on holiday so that may have scrambled it. I'm going to do a few tests over the weekend and see if just resetting it (pulling the plug out for the less technically-minded

) helps, otherwise we'll have to get them to look at it.

And of course it was only a few weeks ago that we binned the 'Why not take out extended cover on your digibox' letter thinking 'Nah, never gonna need that!'

That happened on Monday with Enterprise on my ntl cable box - it's not just Sky!

It doesn't seem to be permanent. Switch to a different channel and switch back again and all is well.

Unfortunately, for me, Sky have chosen to move Buffy and Angel to the one night I am never at home. Sheesh
