    Can anyone tell me why it's just stopped working. It's to a 2nd tv, light is on the magic eye but I cannot turn the sky menu on, main tv is ok, checked leads all ok, any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Reboot your sky box. Unplug, leave for 10 secs, and then plug in. don't do anything for a few minutes - Let it power it self backup slowly.

    I have had issues with some that stop working, and it turned out the magic eye was too close to a plasma TV, or the skybox was ontop of a large amp or something like that.

    Also, the connections need to be good - A lit LED shows the 9v is getting there, but you do need a good clean 'hard' connection for the data too.

    A very annoying feature of the SKY boxes...
