It switched itself off about 20 mins ago. It was happily playing Radio 4, then cut off.
The red standby light is on, but I can't bring it back to life by remote control, unplugging and replugging, off-and-on-again, or any of those grweat old British traditions.
What the hell do I do?!
I am potentially bereft.

re-connect and try agian.
Shame to have lost all those goodies off the hard drive though. Bloody Rupert Murdoch.
did you try what i suggested?
and what has rupert murdoch got to do with it?
Swapping HDDs over is above my paygrade. I do wonder if the stuff on it is lost, and maybe someone techy might be able to switch the drives over for me. On the whole, I think the next rag and bone man to come past will get my dead Skybox.
If it's a simple matter of unplugging the old one and plugging the new one in, i can manage that!
I switched off and unplugged, etc, for various operiod of time (including overnight), and it's still as dead as a dodo. Thanks for the input, Chenks!
That will do a "first birthday" reset, which if it does bring it back to life will have wiped all your recordings.
Nothing to lose now though, you never know!
