    You can't force it, you can only wait until Sky update that model

    Do not force it m8...if the new software has been already downloaded to the backup memory, which is what happens you will wipe it and replace it with the current one.

    When they are ready to update it will do so from the back-up memory.

    There is no way to speed it up.

    Just got home and have received my black pack. I'm not even a HD subscriber but they must know I have a HD box as my card is paired with it.

    Question Re: Sky HD boxes to get new EPG this year

    What are all the numbers you refer to ??
    I upgraded to a Samsung HD box installed last Oct, but have been with sky from almost the beginning. Are they not giving preference to long standing customers, or is the roll out of the epg just a lottery ??
    They seem to promise the earth but give you the moon

    They are all Thomson boxes (go to system setting and check your model number)....the numbers are hexadecimal increments (some are missing).

    Unfortunately as you "upgraded" to a Samsung box you will have to wait until after all Thomson boxes are upgraded most were from 2006/2007.

    The first group updated werent the oldest but one of the smallest, the 2nd ones were the earliest Thomson boxes (I know as I was one of them)...and so on.

    Hope that helps!

    But you werent the earliest HD adoptor....the ones who subbed first are getting the new EPG first.

    New cards are just part of the natural 3-4 year cycle...Sky isnt hacked...certainly not the cards.

    Its confirmed m8 4E3006 boxes had the upgrade on Thurs night.

    Check here...http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...97287&page=278 ...I have no idea why your bros didnt update...I hope he recently didnt try a forced upgrade because if he did he will have wiped the back up memory bank where the new epg would have been stored before Thursdays signal to upgrade.
