q would be no good for me, as it relies on internet too much, especially for
the second box. as where my second box is, there is next to no internet signal,
so relying on one box trying to stream to the second, which I have heard is how
q works with more than one box, would be doomed to failure.

I’ve been talking to the Accessibility Manager at Sky again on this. The fix
was diffenately put in, so their only conclusion is that the older Sky+ boxes
don’t support the fix. She suggests that you call the Sky Accessibility
Helpline on 03442 410 333 and ask for a new Sky+ box. They don’t have many
left, but they have held some back specifically for VI customers. The Helpdesk
might try to offer you a free upgrade to Sky Q if you are registered VI and
live alone. It’s up to you whether or not to take it. If you don’t live
alone, I don’t think you’d get it totally for free.
Cheers

have now tried this a couple of times on the box that 996 isn't working on,
but no luck, so still isn't working.

Hi all
I am assured that this has been fixed now, although you may need to turn
off your box at the mains for 20 seconds to get the update. Do let me know if
it’s not.
Cheers

I have a very old sky digibox and 996 is booming in on it no problem.
I also have the sky q and 996 is barely audible there.
Don't know if that's the HDMI connection as the scart lead certainly works
a lot better with the old box.
I use the digibox to receive UK EPG as ITV and BBC radio etc are not very
easily accessed on the q box here in Ireland

You may have to get a pair of peepers to find out what the screen is

Or of course, try to read it with Be My Eyes.

other one. strange!

hello all,
since channel 996 is still not working, is there an easy way to get an
up to date list of sky channel numbers, as sky seem to have messed about with a
lot of them again, and it is proving next to impossible to find my usual
channels with out the good old 996.
