Have had a sky mini box for a number of years now in the home office, no issues and always worked fine.
In the last couple of months the reception seems to be skipping/freezing for a second or 2 which is really irritating - sometimes it'll be fine for a day, another time it's doing it every 2 or 3 minutes.
The box is now completely stopping working at times, blue screen saying it's not connected to a Sky Q box. Often unplugging it works, but sometimes not. Having not done network refresh on it in all the time I've had it, I've now done it 4 times in the last week, tried unplugging the main box too, tried connecting network via both main box and WiFi router. Nothing seems to have improved things.
When the box has issues, it also seems to drain all the internet bandwidth too- work laptop and phone lose WiFi connection- the connection comes back as soon as you unplug the mini box, so it's clearly the box not the router.
I think it feels like the box is maybe just getting near the end of its life- it's 6 years old, so not too old, but it's getting increasingly worse.
Any ideas what I can do??
