SKYQ hard drive failure?
Hi. I have recently encountered a problem with the PVR part of my SKYQ Box. I phoned SKY yesterday and they told me to do a reset which didn't solve the problem. I can watch my channels but am unable to record anything. When I try to access the recording menu, the box freezes and I have to unplug it from the electric and then reconnect it.
It sounds like the hard drive has gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
