Mains lead for Sky box...

Tuftus · 30-10-2005, 19:32

Since the Sky+ boxes need rebooting every now and then I thought it would be handy to have an inline switch in the mains lead, kinda like a lamp does to turn it on and off, to save me yanking the power cord out of the unit.

All I want is an inline rocker switch that has screwable terminals inside for ease of deployment....

Can I find one? No.

Can anyone help? I hope so....

I got one from screwfix when I needed one. Tried any local electrical specialists?

Aye that's similar to what I bought when I wanted something to make turning a light on easier. If it's like mine it will have screw terminals inside it too.

Can you do that? I thought sky owned the box and tampering with the lead might affect T&Cs

Think the boxes are yours after 12 months anyway aren't they?

It is a standard figure of 8 power lead, this will make it easier to reboot the box, if a callout is neccesaray, then I will change the lead back....
