didn't make me laugh but maybe it will you...
Bought second hand Sky HD box to replace old white one.

after many calls to Sky and forum browsing it still displayed incorrect viewing card message.

It was only when the last guy mentioned a number on the underside of the box on the opposite side to the flap that a horrible realisation came to me.

I had my card in the interactive slot not the viewing slot.

And I call myself a tech guy.

Length; 40 mins or so if you include the system resets and updates

It didn't make me laugh more so much as despair for the future of the human race.

I know
Its always something simple that messes me up, couldn't get the HD on the xbox till i twigged there was a switch.

Maybe i'm just jinxed with sky, had a guy call around after installation to fix the recording issue to find that the second input wire wasn't in at the back.

sigh. although maybe i'm just a genius and the minor stuff is just below my intellegence.

doubtful but possible...
