Sky Box not working

Our Sky Box is not working properly. 
It will no longer record, fast forward or rewind.

@BarbaraDunn 

Try a planner rebuild:


Press Services on your remote

Select Help

Select Sky+ Rebuild


This should take no longer than 10 minutes, don't do it if you are recording or due to start recording something. Your recordings and downloads are safe when doing this.

What error message is displayed when you try to record, or play a recording from your Planner?

@BarbaraDunn try the Planner Rebuild as suggested. If that doesn't restore normal working, the last resort if a full System Reset, from the same menu as the Planner Rebuild. It will delete all your recordings, I'm afraid.

 

If that doesn't fix it, your Sky box has had it, I'm afraid, and you'll need to think about upgrading either to Sky Q or Sky Stream.
