Find this forum excellent for info but feel all I'm doing is complaining about Sky+!! Oh well here we go again...............went to turn box on this morning, light turned green and then got a blue screen. The box wouldn't respond to any presses of any keys on remote or even on front of box. Was like this for about an hour and eventually had to turn off at mains and then back on which sorted problem. This is 2nd time this has happened although first time it was during viewing and we kept the picture alright but the box wouldn't change channel, turn off etc.. Has anyone had this happen?? Already done software upgrade and hasn't sorted it.
Got $ky coming on thurs but not sure if i want another Amstrad box. Def do not want a Thomson as already had first one replaced due to excessive noise (know someone else with a Thomson that is dead noisy aswell). Ideally like a Pace box but of course it depends what he's got in his van. Am i entitled to refuse a box if he's only got Thomson & Amstrad? Argued with last engineer who came out coz he said that all boxes were same. With the help of this forum I have gathered that Pace are meant to be the best (and the most expensive to build and that's why engineers don't carry many of them in the van!!). Has anyone got some cold hard facts I could hit the engineer with with regards to Pace being the most reliable.
Cheers
