ha-ha Steve, although the wiggle suggestion has possibilities.
I'll have a look at the services menu tomorrow and then give the sky fitter a buzz if that doesn't work.
Thanks

Teenage son gone to college, mum at home cos blinkin car failed MOT at weekend..... why does non of my equipment work, I must have upset a technical bod in a previous life!
Can't even find the services menu on new box, there is a settings menu which includes things like the picture, sound and signal and they don't give manuals now, just a little leaflet.... aaaaahhh. What's RTFM, is this on the services menu that's not there? and I do find it, what do I do with it when I get there?
Am I rambling.... oh yes! - I'm just hoping this will be cheaper and quicker to fix than the bloomin car :(

OK, teenage daughter just explained RTFM!! see where you were going with that; so I'm a numpty where jargon is concerned, but can live with that as long as I can get this stupid thing working :)

Thanks everyone for your responses. I called the sky chap and he came round today.
Apparently the problem was that we were trying to use the old remote on the new box and he said these won't operate the new HD sky boxes.
So there you have it. He actually gave me an additional remote for the upstairs tv, yup, you heard me correctly... gave it to me at no cost - I really wasn't expecting that one, I've obviously been forgiven for all my previous life high-jinks!
Thanks again for all your help.

Hi, hope someone can help with this. Up until yesterday we had a sky+ box in one room and an old (over 5 years) standard sky box in the lounge.
On the old lounge box, we used a digital sender with a little transmitter 'thingy' which we placed over the light on the front of the box, to sent sky upstairs to one of the bedrooms.
This worked great until yesterday when we had new boxes fitted by Sky. The digital sender still sends pictures and sound upstairs, but the sky remote upstairs will no longer change channel. Also we have to keep the tv in the lounge on all the time or we don't get anything on the upstairs tv.
Does anyone have any ideas please. I have a teenage son who's done nothing but whitter all day!!
