SKY SPORTS 1 and 2

COOPERMAN · 19-09-2004, 17:05

Anyone else having picture problems with SKY SPORTS 1 and 2. Picture goes blank for about 5 seconds and comes back. Pre RS errors say 65 per 0.5 secs.

there is no problem here with any sky sports channel [xtra, 1,2,3.]
i'm in poole dorset.

I suggest maybe doing a power off type reboot [pull the plug] for at least 30+ seconds maybe go make cup of tea/coffee while u do? it might help or it might not if not then must be a local prob?

Nope. That didn't work. Must be a London fault (fingers crossed), strangely SKY SPORTS 3 and xtra are fine. Interesting to hear from anyone else in London who are having problems. Watching footy at the mo, it has done it twice since kick off at 16:05.

Been watching SP2 for the last 80 mins and no probs, so I guess it must be local to you.

It's still blanking occassionally. SP3 and Extra are fine. It happened yesterday watching YEOVIL v BOLTON. I'm loathed to ring CS, because I think it's a fault at NTL (London). All three of my STB's are doing it.

It's very bad at the mo, blanking every 3 to 4 mins. Not just me, I have had replies on DIGITALSPY about it.

Cooperman you are not alone. I have exactly the same problem as you, but I've noticed that it's Sky Sports 1, 2 & 3 and that they all go on and off at the same time

. Mine also started yesterday whilst trying to watch the Bolton game and now the same again for the Tottenham game

It's never ever any of the crap channels that go down. It's always that cost you extra.
I'm gonna give em a grilling tomorrow over the phone

By the way, I'm in West London.

There was a mail came round just before leaving work saying there was a problem with all three channels

COOPERMAN · 22-09-2004, 23:39

Fingers crossed, they seem okay for now.... perhaps UNTIL 2MORROW!!

Thanks 4 your replies.

Yeah, but still missed the game again and did you see the score? Missed the lot.

Yes, I was very dissapointed tonight at having the screen going black for several seconds, coming back on and going black again!!! I live in Oldham and was looking forward to getting televised coverage of my local team against Spurs in the CArling Cup. (probably best in the end that I didn't see full coverage cause we got trounced lol

)

Still the piont being that the one time, I was eagerly anticipating watching a Footie match on Sky Sports - I get technical problems thrown at me.
