Try turning off at the plug for 5 minutes or so. If the power light continues to flash after the box is restarted, I'm afraid the box has probably  failed and will need to be replaced.

What you have described is usually due to a hardware failure and will most likely mean the box needs replacing

 

You can either upgrade to Sky Q or purchase a secondhand Sky+HD box

 

Appropriate Sky+HD models are listed in the link below:
