Speed up your package upgrade (Sky+HD)

  • The signal to your viewing card can take between 10 to 24 hours to be received, so if you've recently upgraded your viewing package, your new channels may not be available immediately.

    If you've ordered a package upgrade, but continue to see an error message asking you to upgrade when you attempt to access one of the channels included in your new package, you can manually speed up your upgrade.

    When you've completed these steps, try accessing the channels again, they should appear normally:
     

    1. Press services on your Sky remote control to access the options menu, then press the select button to continue. Scroll through the menu using the left/right arrows to highlight settings.
    2. Press select to access the settings menu, now Press 0 (zero), then 1, then select to access the Installer Setup menu.
    3. Scroll through the menu, press the right arrow five times, to highlight the New Install option.
    4. Press select and you'll see the 'Ensure that the satellite dish is correctly aligned...' message, once this shows press select to continue.
    5. Press select again to continue, the channel scan process will begin.Wait for the 'Channel line up complete' message to appear. When it does, press select to continue. You'll see the "Callback in progress" message.
    6. When your Sky box has performed the callback via your telephone line, you'll see the 'Installation complete' message. Press select to complete the process.
