KEY POINTS:
Energy saving light bulbs might be good news for the environment, but they've had quite the opposite effect for some Sky subscribers.
Some MySky HDi users who use the new-style lightbulbs noticed a lack of remote sensitivity, but tech staff at the network say they've already solved the problem.
Sky communications director Tony O'Brien says customers who report the issue will be sent a stick-on filter which goes over the unit's infrared sensor, and stops the curly bulb problem.
"It's a very simple fix," he said.
