I don't own a Sky box, but I found this very satisfying for some reason.

Hey I was sceptical but it really works.Eady but seeing as I have no patience it's a good job it was easy.Or else the Sky box would be in the front garden.Thanks.

This worked. Thank you very much! But the channel number now for Sky Atlantic is 109. So press 109 not 108. Thanks again, Rachael

Great, except I can never remember my Sky Password and the eMail associated with it has been cut off, thanks to Microsoft! Guess will have to call.
