If it persists the box will need to ne replaced. You can either contact Sky, who will probably book an engineer appointment at a cost of £65 so that the box can be replaced.
Alternatively you could source your own used replacement via ebay etc at less cost. Note that the last Sky+ boxes (of any type) were manufactured in 2015/2016 so you won't get a new replacement now. Look for a DRX890 or DRX895 model with a W or WL suffix (e.g. DRX890WL) as they're the most recent.
Or you might want to consider upgrading to Sky Q, which is undoubtedly what Sky will urge you to do if you speak to them.
