SKY HD Box reset

Yesterday at around 12.05 and the day before at around 11.50 my Sky box
rebooted itself. which was annoying as i was watching something . i was on
ITV. was it only me. it is not prone to doing this so i was wondering if
software was coming down or something.

Loose women was on itv1HD last night/this morning. It was not listed, but
the picture looked good and the itv1hd dog was in use.

hmmm, interesting. Last night I switched on the bedroom TV and noticed that
the Sky HD box was off (in standby) but I could of sworn I'd not turned the
box off all day. When I switched the box on it went to the Sky Preview
channel 999 (or sommat like that). That only happens when I pull the power,
so I thought there must of been a power outage at some point, although I did
noticed that none of the clock radios etc had reset, which usually happens
after a break in the power. Anyway I'd forgotten all about it until I saw
this post. I've checked my HD box and can't see any obvious changes,
although I must admit I can't say what the software version was before any
of this happened. Maybe it was a software update, maybe it wasn't, hopefully
someone will post to confirm.

My Amstrad HD box also rebooted, which usually only happens when software
is updated, but I keep track of all the versions and it's not changed for
six months since the new EPG arrived.

It might have been a failed software update attempt? ITV HD has not
appeared yet either.

I really wish Sky would fix the bug that allows programme sound in the EPG
when the unnecessary preview window is disabled, what's the point of sound
without a picture?

Loose women in HD sounds scary

Another one here - old Panny which had been left on BBC News rebooted. I'd
assumed yet another overnight power glitch but the clock on the microwave
oven (our only telltale) was fine.

This happens occasionally with our non-HD box. On occasins we've been
watching a programme when the box aprubtly shut down.

It typically takes around a quarter of an hour before it will answer the
helm again. I assume it has to do with a Sky update.

It does take a time but it shouldn't be as long as that, especially on a
non-HD box. I thought updates were installed at night.

My HD box did it last evening. I was watching a recording while it was
being made and noticed it was near the time of another broadcast I
wanted. I used the Now and Next banner to check that I had set it to
record when the picture froze, then click - it had switched off. It
took about five minutes to recover and the recording I was watching had
been lost, only the adverts at the end which came after recovering were
there.
