Can you change the background of the Sky Plus TV Guide?

First of all, yes you can because I have just done it somehow, the blue background has gone and I now have a very shaky picture as the background. What I need to know is how to cancel this or do it again with another picture. Thanks in advance.

1. not sure how you have done that but you can reset your box back again by pulling the plug and putting it on again but when you put it on you hold the back up button for 30 sec (it takes about 10 min to reset box but it will wipe any recordings) this would cure it.
2. You shouldnt be able to change the background on your sky box. if you unplug it for around 30secs, as you plug it back in hold down the back button on the skybox until it boots up, it will do a download to the box and reset the software. you will NOT loose any recordings though. (i have had to reset mine when it crashed before )
3. This happened to me today. It is a glitch in the software, a freeze frame of something you were watching sometimes (very rarely) gets frozen as your TV guide background. You can't choose one though, and the only way to cancel it is to turn off your sky box and disconnect the power, then plug it in after 30 seconds and restart it. If you like the picture then don't restart till you have to, otherwise you probably won't ever see it again. I think it only happens when you've used the red button interactive channels, although it's still very rare.
4. God forbid that Sky would actually let you do something as outrageous as change something on your Sky box.
