I know a number of people who Sky boxes crash.

Those crappy Pace ones it seems.

One person cant even get the red button to work at all.

The whole red button business is drastically overhyped.....

I have NEVER seen it work problem free on any platform. (Freeview looking the most stable) It makes me laugh how people always big up Sky! yet everytime I or someone else have tried to use something remotely interesting at my girlfriends mum and dads........It has failed, be it sports or Interactive Job Channels! Nothing happend not even a loading (or not), pure nothingness which resulted in a box reset.

All I want is the channels showing the football (we help to buy in our subscription) labeled xtra 1-6 (or similar) how hard is that?........I couldnt care less about red button fanfares!
