Sky+ box very ill...

....engineer coming round, what should I expect them to do? ATM it works just
like an ordinary box, ie record/play doesnt work, will they swap out the HD,
or give me a replacement box? FWIW its 10 months old.

I had this, called SKY and they sent something down, whilst on the phone,
the guy said ok try it now, and it worked.

And if the guy changes the box, you will lose all the recordings, and the
engineer will have to call SKY to marry your card up and switch on the +
functions (live pause etc..).

They will probably replace the box, you maybe lucky to get
a new one.
