Sky+ Boxes have the wrong time.
 

So we noticed yesterday that one of our boxes had the right time, the others had not switched from summer time.
Having searched all through the settings (and engineering settings) I could not find anything to actually set the time.

So we left them overnight again, to see if it fixed itself.
It didnt, so we went to plan B (Google !) and found this.

It seems Sky have made a blunder (aka "Technical issue") and we are stuck with this for the next few days. :rolleyes:

I didn't think these boxes still received software updates, but I'm guessing that was the cause.

Hope to be fix by Thursday

I "hope" to win the lottery on Wednesday ....

Fortunately, the article is slightly more reassuring ;

I wonder if it affected Digiboxes. I never noticed earlier.

After all this time you'd think the box wouldn't have changed in any way software-wise to haved a software problem rear its head now.

If the clock had been delivered by satellite signal and someone at Sky HQ had switched it off, not realising it was still used, I'd be more inclined to believe that.

I have been told you will win lotto - but not until the 6th of June in 2066.;)

It been fixed at Sky HQ - But if viewers want GMT time before Thursday you will need to reboot your box.

Re: Sky+ Boxes have the wrong time.
 

Nope.

Rebooted both affected boxes, both are still wrong.

Info I give yesterday was posted on DS Forum.

Sky+ boxes are updated every Thursday (Source: DS Forum)

Re: Sky+ Boxes have the wrong time.
 

Could you clarify something MB please? Are you saying Sky+ boxes (still) get firmware updates every week? Or that, Thursday is simply the designated day for firmware updates? Or that it's EPG-type data that gets updated on Thursdays (obv topped up dynamically)?

Ta. The Radiomike post below it confirms it being a software update.

Re: Sky+ Boxes have the wrong time.
 

One of my two affected boxes updated today, the other is still wrong.
