gnomes are great, i like mine, though I wish they'd do spare battery packs
for them as the battery packs are combined cells which tend to die after
some time, and do not have the life of say a lythiam ion battery.

Hi Martin
Isn't the little Gnome fabulous? I've got an orange one, and he doesn't
even resemble a gnome.
We changed the frequency because they interfered with Ian's cordless
headphones. I wouldn't like to be without it.

Hi all.
has anyone who uses a sky gnome suffered this problem?
you're listening to your sky gnome, when you get serious white noise?
switching off the sky box, but leaving the gnome on results in you
getting a strong signal from someone else's overenthusiastic fm
transmitter?
if so, you can change the frequency the sky gnome works on. to do
this follow these instructions.
Changing sky gnome RF.
1. Press and hold the sky button on the sky gnome until you see the
menu.
2. Press a number from one to 4 on the sky gnome to choose one of the
four frequencies.
3. within ten seconds point the sky remote control at the set top box
and press the same number as on the gnome 4. press the standby button
on the sky remote control to apply the settings and the base station
will turn set top box back on 5. If the box does not turn on
automatically press the standby button to turn it back on and start
the process again from step one..
make sure your TV is on to help you in this process.
possible issues.
step one says to look for the menu to pop up on the sky gnome screen.
if you are blind or vi you cannot do this, so the solution I found was
to hold the button in for ten seconds once you hear sound from the sky
gnome.
also, once you press a number between one and four, btw, the default
manufacturer setting is to broadcast on channel one, you will hear the
sky gnome broadcasting white noise. you then press the corresponding
button on the sky remote, E.G. to switch to channel three from one,
press three on the gnome and then three on the remote. Then switch
off your box with the standby button on the remote. note: if your
reset has been successful, you will hear a little white noise as the
sky box switches to standby. if it is not successful, you will just
hear it go silent.
any further questions please reply.
Hope to hear from you soon.
From Martin.
