To restore your SKY On Demand box from the reboot, you will need to do a basic reset to restore your box to factory setting.

  1. Restart the box by turning the box off and on from the rear panel’s power switch. Blue screen with SKY logo will appear.
  2. When black screen or "no display" appears on the screen, wait for the red power icon on the box's LED display to blink (around 15 seconds), then press the “arrow down” key found on the front panel of the box for two seconds.
  3. Immediately press keys: “2”, “4”, “8”, “5” on your remote control.
  4. The LED display on the front panel will change to “FACT” signifying that the box has been reset to factory settings.
  5. The box will resume boot-up. When the channel scan pop-up message appears, press OK to scan channels.

If this fails to resolve the issue, you may need to do a more comprehensive reset.
