This group seems to be close to moribund!

My Sky EPG is playing up, it doesn't seem to store listings any more, it
always shows "no listings available" and I have to wait for it to
down-load them.

Is my box about to die or is there another reason?

Is there a better place to ask Sky tech questions?

Many thanks for the replies & links!

A reboot seems to have fixed it for now - seems to be a known issue from
some of the forum posts.

No idea why people prefer clunky forums to nice speedy newsgroups but
there you go!

A planner rebuild (mostly) fixed it for me.

That didn't last long. After a couple of days I was back in the same situation.
