stingersplash Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ok so im sure im not the only one with this issue - but if you want to buy the Rumble in HD, if you check the sports and evemts section, on normal Sky+ boxes it is there and can be bought no issues. but if you have an HD+ box like me, only the repeats are shown and are able to be bought. I spent 20 mins on the phone to somewhere in asia to be told i need to record the LAST repeat, and then i can still watch the live version. Problem is the repeat is in SD and the live one in HD, so will that even work? Â Im pretty pissed about the situation, does anyone know what can be done? Â All i want to do is watch it live and record it, but if i end up getting a blank screen on monday morning at 1am, heads will roll.
The Miz Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just buy the repeat and forget about watching it live maybe.
stingersplash Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Just buy the repeat and forget about watching it live maybe. Â if i cant watch it live, then i may as well wait for the bluray. Â this has never happened before, and sky dont seem to know what the hell is going on. Â am i supposed to just never watch a live ppv event again? if thats the case i dont need sky.
dopper Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Hoping this is just a temporary glitch that is resolved by Sunday. Â This will be the first ppv I planned to stay up and watch live since last year's WrestleMania.
The Miz Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 With a Sky HD Box can you only watch HD or is there a SD option also? Â Also you say if you can't watch it live you may as well wait for the Bluray. Why?
Paid Members BigJag Posted January 27, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2011 On the Sky advert for the Rumble today. There was a message saying the repeats would not be in HD.
RepoMan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 This actually happened to me with the last PPV I believe. Â Seemed to resolve itself after a couple of days for some reason.
The King of Old School Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 On the Sky advert for the Rumble today. There was a message saying the repeats would not be in HD. Â As far as i am aware, only the live showing of WWE PPV's are in HD, the repeats never are.
TUFCfan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just checked my Sky+HD box to order/set a reminder and both the SD and HD live versions are listed on there, so not sure why they don't show up on your box. Might only be certain models that are affected I guess.
dopper Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 On the Sky advert for the Rumble today. There was a message saying the repeats would not be in HD. Â That would suggest the live event is available in HD then, you would think. Â Did it specifically state it would be?
RepoMan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Stupid question of the day - have you reset the box? Like properly turned it off at the wall etc. Sometimes it really fixes things strangely.
stingersplash Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 its ok all sorted now, i had to do a sky+ rebuild and the show was then available to purchase and record. Â basically on the EPG the rumble was in blue writing, which of course is wrong as it should be white for SD and orange for HD programming. Â i know some people on digital spy has the problem so wondered if it was for everyone, but im guessing its just my model of box.

Why?  you can watch in SD if you want, some people record in SD to save space but i see no point.  as for why i would wait for the bluray, because i only want to watch in HD. cant go back to blocky SD now.
fye Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I purchased it at approx 4pm today and it was fine, assuming its fine at 1am on Monday morning of course
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 27, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2011 I've got Sky+ HD and it's in the Box office section of the EPG. Monday, 1am, SBO2 HD.
