- A look back at Sky TV, as I try to get an old box to work again without electrocuting myself in the process!

You’ve got quite a rare box on your hands here. The TV Guide software running on this (3.3a.6) was only released to boxes from around April to September 2005 before being replaced with EPG 3.3b.5 which changed the visual style to a lighter blue background.
Interesting! Never would've thought my old family box was rare.
It’s amazing! I’ve got a Pace Box with this exact version. It’s probably the most major update in 2005 as well due to Radio channel numbers getting 4 digits, Parental Controls getting a major update and Picture settings getting a few tweaks. Mine is luckily still going strong as well.
Hope you make more videos like this. Good to hear your voice after reading text in the description or on screen for 7 years (for me anyway) Keep it up :) 🖤
Thanks! About time I finally started yakking properly.
You’ve just made my day and very nostalgic. I myself was a connoisseur of everything Sky and film classification.
Man, the units with the card slots.
Oh Jesus, I haven't seen a box like that in years... Happy times 😀
This actually reminds me of when someone managed to get their old ONdigital box working. Of course, he didn't get any channels since the service has been dead for 20 years, but it was still a nostalgic thrill to see it all again.
@Dark Dragon 772 Interesting. If only Cartoon Network were a freeview channel. Alas, life is not fair 😂
So you can only watch Sky Digital, Telewest Broadband and Freeview as well on TV.
Excellent video. That took me back. I completely forgot about the two card slots and the blue button favourite channels thing, always a handy shortcut. Sky Interactive was ahead of it's time, i remember you could even order your shopping from Iceland on there, and all this time i never realised Amstrad stood for Alan Michael Sugar Trading, now the name makes more sense lol. Also great to hear your voice :)
Sky Digital doesn't have any viewing card.
So nostalgic. sky box It would work if you have a satellite connected to it.🤣🤣
Yeah, after making this video I figured out how it works - but I have no satellite to hook up to the box, so kind of pointless, unfortunately. 😄
Guess my prediction was right (see latest community post)
