Sky+ HD Lock The Front Panel?
Is it possible to lock the front panel buttons and only have it accessible via the remote, my cat keeps walking over the damned thing and managing to press the power button (which is on the top) and causing my recordings to clash :dunce:

Put some drawing pins across the top of it!
Seriously - the movement and jolts cause by the cat will not do you hard disc a lot of good. There is not a locking system for the panel. |

I don't think you can lock the buttons on the box. Perhaps a deterrent to keep the cat away may help some sort of citrus smell usually works as cats don't like it.
Try orange peel looks a bit unsightly but a cheap way to find out if it works,I'm sure there will be some thing you can buy for this type of problem. Just found this http://www.deteracat.co.uk/indoor-ca...t-sprayer.html |

I think the point being made is - the problem is stopping your cat jumping on the box ;)
In anycase - the Sky+ box should still dual record when in standby. I've never had a problem with Sky+ or HD+. |

Yes it's when she walks over it and I don't notice that it's on that causes the problem

Perhaps train the cat to at least press the correct buttons & programme the Sky+HD box for you?

Put a remote control for the DVD player on top of the box then she wont go on it, that's what I do with my cat. Though she sometimes starts miaowing cause she can't lie on there, can't win.

Will sound weird but.... what about turning the box upside down and sitting it on a couple of coasters to leave an air gap? Probably won't help the airflow and cooling I suspect. Could get a piece of perspex to sit on top of the box and keep it slightly raised with pads?

Re: Sky+ HD Lock The Front Panel?
you could if the box is out of warranty open it up and disable the switches yourself
|
Re: Sky+ HD Lock The Front Panel?
I did think about that, but the box is only a couple of months old
