Problem with hard disk drive

[Chrish26]

Hi, I'm not able to access recordings on my main Q box with a message that says the service is currently unavailable, and when I switch the box on I get a message that says there's a problem with the Hard Disk Drive

That's usually a sign that the hard drive is failing. Turn the box off at the wall for a minute then power it back on and see if helps. It's probably likely that you'll need a replacement box though so you'll need to ring Sky and request one. You'll lose all your recordings I'm afraid.
