Re: The Sky Appreciation thread
Sky+ still has the £10/month sub if you don't subscribe to premiums...same as always.
Rumours abound that's it's going to be scrapped completely though. Quote:
Also, would you be able to use the good old Sale of Goods Act or one of the other relevant consumer laws for something like that? Seeing as things like 12 month manufacturer warranties are in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer, & if something breaks down, within a reasonable period (up to 6 years depending on what it is), then it's up to the seller/supplier to sort it out for you.

You can flash it with different firmware. Also possible to extract the ADSL username/password from it, & then use a different router of your own choosing. I'm still using the Sky one at the moment, although it does seem to enjoy rebooting. |
Re: The Sky Appreciation thread
Been on Sky+ (and Multiroom) for 4 months now, and quite happy with it.
I don't agree with what Sky have done in respect of their channels, but I have no complaints about the service I get from them. (JFYI, I still have VM broardband and Phoneline, just not TV). |

Can't belive that I paid £40 to connect rather than use another provider and get my own router though. (/me = stupid). Still does not beat Virgin bb people (garlands crap lot in Middlesrough) telling me I could not have broadband as I had a fibre optic line). Chap that said it hung up on me after I challenged that. |
Re: The Sky Appreciation thread
If you have another ADSL2+ compatible router knocking around, or one you can borrow to test, try this to get your username/password, & then you can use the other router:
http://dg834gt.mognuts.com/NetgearRouterUtility.html EDIT: This is handy too - monitors the net connection, & auto-reboots the router if it drops (the Sky router doesn't always reboot itself if the connection goes down) - http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/techn...matically.html . Can also be used to get the username/password, full modem stats, & other stuff. 15 days?! So is it not possible to migrate if you're on LLU? |
Re: The Sky Appreciation thread
I'd suggest doing that too if it works as my DG834 never reboots.
