Put it on standby then unplug it. Take the card out, give the chip a wipe and put it back in. After 30 seconds plug it back in and it will reboot. When it's finished rebooting it will go to the sky guide channel. *

Then check if the channels still don't work. If they don't, you may need to ring sky.

*This usually solves about 99% of problems with sky boxes.

TBH, i'd just pull the mains on it, leave it a few seconds and plug it back in. You don't need to do all that card wiping stuff

Mine's started switching itself off.

What's surprising is that I didn't even notice.:hihi:
