The problem has already been fixed @derek+53 as Sky have sent new software to our boxes so as yours didn't receive it (perhaps it was turned off) then you will have to update it yourself and this link will help you with this:

When you say 'remote reboot' do you mean that you tried the forced software update?  Described here: https://www.sky.com/help/diagnostics/updating-sky-box/updating-software-sky-plus-hd.

@derek+53 Sky updated their website at 0829 on Sunday 31st that they were aware of the problem and were trying to fix it. The two main posts on the subject on the forum have been updated a few times by employees with additional information and advice including when the boxes were going to be updated and advice on how to complete a manual fix. What did you expect, a full page apology in The Times?

Re: Sky showing wrong time?

Theres no need to be rude , just making an observation about Sky . A simple e-mail from Sky to its customers saying they are  aware of the problem , and are dealing with it would have sufficed .Istead iver had to rely upon the help of people of this forum to help me out , which they have done , and my box is now fine

@derek+53 Apologies if you perceived my comments as rude. I was merely pointing out that Sky have updated customers both on the Community forum and their website. I've since seen updates on the Daily Express and The Metro websites where Sky offer their apologies. I think emailing customers is a bit extreme as some Sky+ customers won't have Sky email and not all Sky customers have Sky+. Glad your box is sorted.

Re: Sky showing wrong time?

I have been away for 2 weeks.  Just came back home on 9th,  SKY box had been on all the time I was away but was still showing BST time. 

I called SKY yesterday and they gave me the instructions for manual update - slightly different from what is on the site,  saying to hold the  button for 4 minutes, not 30 seconds.  Did not have time to manually update yesterday,  but this morning the box has corrected itself.

Glad it is fixed for you @NoGeek , no idea why they told you to hold the button for 4 minutes as you only need do this until you see all 4 lights on the front pannel lit.
