Skycable Digibox HD - USB Videos Have No Sound

In case you've tried to play video files on a USB drive using the USB port of your Skycable Digibox HD, you might notice that your videos have no sound. To play a video file, go to MENU > MUSIC / PHOTOS > VIDEOS and if your storage device is recognized, you should be able to see a list of files that you can play. Press the PLAY button, and the video should start playing in preview mode. To maximize the screen, press the left red button at the top of your Skycable remote control. If your video is playing but doesn't have any sound, even if your regular Skycable channels have sound, you can try doing the following as a work around, in the hopes of getting sound.

1. Try to fast forward the video a bit
2. Press the PLAY button.
3. Your Video should now have sound

This trick worked for me and I hope it can help out others who are experiencing the same issue. If in the process, you also lose sound on your Skycable channels, try powering off your Skycable Digibox and television for about five seconds, then powering them back on.

How to Program Your Favorite Channels on a Sky Cable Remote Control

If you've recently subscribed to Sky Cable TV, then you might have received a remote control like the one shown in the picture above. If you've tried to add a channel you like to your favorites using the FAV button, it doesn't seem to work. When you press on the FAV button, it just shows a blank FAV CHANNEL LIST with no channels to choose from.

To add a particular channel to your FAV CHANNEL LIST window, follow these steps:
1. Click on the MENU button on your Sky Cable remote control. You should see a window similar to the one below. (Sorry for the image, it's an old TV)

2. Navigate to SETTINGS > CHANNEL SETTINGS
3. You should see a list of channels you can add to the FAV CHANNEL LIST as long as that channel is part of your subscription bundle.
4. Press the FAV button on the remote control. A dot should appear on the Favorite column if you've added that particular channel to the list.
5. Click on the EXIT button on your Sky Cable remote control.
6. You will be asked if you want to save the changes so choose YES and then click OK on the remote.
7. Just repeat the process for any other channel you might want to add. To remove a channel, just press FAV and make sure the dot on the Favorite column disappears.

Now, whenever you press the FAV button on your Sky Cable remote control, you should see a list you can choose from. Just use the up and down buttons to navigate to the channel you want, then press OK on the remote to switch to that channel.
