SKY HD Box keeps playing up

[BigDogsWang]

Hi. Almost everyday now my SKY box turns on but comes up with a message saying 'sky hd this display does not support hdcp', and will not work or turn off. So I have to unplug it for a minute, then plug it back in and after a couple of minutes it works fine. Would this be cured if I did a complete system reset? I realise I will lose all my saved recordings. Or do I need a new HDMI Cable?

what do sky advise - have you asked them?

Sorry but I'd rather watch paint dry than phone them up and hold on for half an hour. Plus because I use the Post Office for my phone, 0845 numbers are charged at a higher premium. I'm sure I'm not the only whose had this problem on this site.

Thanks ABerrant, I'll give that a try.

Sorry Big - I don't have Sky - can't afford it - so thought you had a landline - but ABs link looks good

There is a step by step guide to fixing the problem on the sky web site (surprised you didn't look there).

Using the component connections may cure this if you keep getting the problem. You will still get HD res.
