Hi there,
I have just bought and received my Sky HD box, It is a Thompson brand box same as my father in laws and he has never had a problem with it,
I got it installed etc, It was suppose to be brand new but it had programs recorded on it, 70% recorded infact which annoyed me greatly, anyway I reset it and wiped the hard drive and did a new install, all working fine but the menu lags a lot. before I blame the seller for a faulty box, it was bought of Ebay
(Yes, I never buy from Ebay but it was brand new and a trusted seller, 100% feedback etc)
Anyway when on all channels or going through the menu it lags alot. some times it is okay for a few minutes and then it slows down, takes 5-10 seconds just to move down from say sky 1 to sky 2 and then sometimes does 3-5 channels at once, This doesn't sound normal to me
Secondly the hard drive seems rather loud, Very loud infact that I can physically hear the clicking of the hard drive reading the disks etc.
I am worried I have a duff box, If I do I think I am going to send it back but would love some feedback, This may have been asked many times and as I type I am searching the forums.
Help please....
Cheers
Graeme
