What is Sky+ Single Feed Mode?

Sky single feed mode is a recent update located on their newer boxes, the DigiBoxes. It only works on the Sky+HD DigiBoxes.

A standard Sky TV setup usually works using two cable feeds that come straight from your satellite dish. This allows you to watch a TV channel whilst recording another at the same time.

However, for some, it may not be possible to have a second cable feeding into your Sky+HD box. Therefore, the next step to follow is setting your DigiBox to ‘Single Feed Mode.’

Does Sky Single Feed Mode affect recordings?

Many people have been asking Sky the same question about how to fix their disrupted recordings when using the ‘Single Feed Mode’ option through settings.

What you need to remember is to never turn your Sky box off completely, leave your DigiBox on standby when the recording is due, otherwise, it won’t work.

If your recordings are still messing up, it is worth checking whether you only have one wire going to one dish input. This makes it impossible for your Sky Box to function correctly as only one tuner will be available for use.

The main thing to remember is that – if you are using two cables then ‘Single Feed Mode’ needs to be turned off. If you are however using one cable, you need to turn ‘Single Feed Mode’ on. There are some simple tips on how to turn ‘Single Feed Mode’ on above.
