Sky+ box slowing down?

My Sky+ regularly goes to ch. 998 for no obvious reason.

I thought that meant a s/w download had taken place? Not true?

Not necessarily. All Sky boxes will go to ch. 998 when rebooted, and a
reboot can be caused by a software download. It can also be caused by
a power cut. My Sky+ goes to ch. 998 from time to time without either
a power cut or a reboot. I have even seen it do this whilst I was
watching programmes.

It will always go to 998 after an upgrade. It being on 998 doesn't
necessarily mean there's been an upgrade though.
Is there another reason it would go there (assuming no one selected it)

Yeah, a powercut, a crash, etc.

Same here. Often comes out of standby on 998. The Mk1 box upstairs
is unaffected, comes back on, on whatever it was switched off on.

Has only reset to 998 while I was watching it on one occasion, and that was
at exactly 22:00:00. Very odd.
