Hot and ready for take off,Sky Q box

[Andy71p]

My sky Q box has started to sound like a jet getting ready for take off,and also I know it will get warm but is also getting hot to the point where it seems it is way hotter than it should be.

All the equipment is well ventilated with plenty of air flow around it,just wondering is it something I should be concerned about.

@Andy71p If it's getting too hot to keep your hand on it, and especially making noise as you describe, I'd be inclined to unplug it and ring Sky.

Carefully check the underside of the box to see if any of the air vents around the fan are clogged with dust. A can of compressed air (or your own lungs) can help clear it out. 

If it keeps getting hot and is still noisy then give Sky a ring and get a replacement.
