How do I perform a hard reset of my Sky+ Digibox?

Question

Thanks Dwmadchef, but I need a hard reset, not a reboot. I need to wipe the hard drive and restore factory settings.

Answer 1

disconnect the box from the supply (unplug it). Count up 10 seconds and re-connect. You will get a message on your tv which is self explanitry. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Full System Reset ; Note; with this Reset you will lose all previous recordings!!

On your remote control press “SERVICES”. • Press button 4 (SYSTEM SETUP).  Press button 0, then press button1, then press SELECT to show “INSTALLER SETUP” .Press button 8 (Full System Reset) then “SELECT”, then wait for the process to be completed. When the process has been completed wait for 5 minutes. This time is required to allow the Sky Digibox to initialize. Switch your TV on to the correct channel. Press the “Sky” button on the remote control or the Standby button on your Sky Digibox. The red Standby light will turn to green on your Sky Digibox and a message “searching for listings” will appear on your screen. When completed successfully the Sky Welcome channel 998 will be displayed.
