When watching something with a recording in progress, both whatever I'm watching or the recording itself (if I switch to it) is jumping, glitching, freezing and generally unwatchable, after which most recorded programmes also suffer thus. A solution is the wait until no recording is being made and unplug the thing, which returns things to normal until the next attempt at dual-function use.

Means I can't now watch something while something else is recording.

Is the box just failing?

Sounds like it yes, I'm no expert so can't really say anymore apart from Sky hd boxes can be had second hand for £20-40, I got mine for £35 over a year ago, still going strong

Lidtop, for an extremely short period we have the same number of posts. So sad that I should notice such a thing.

I've decided to upgrade. I've got quite a good deal on a new HD box, committed to one year upgraded subscription with the option to cancel subsequently. Total only about £50.

wow I wouldn't have ever noticed that! Haha

So yeah, that's a good deal £50, the HD box is worth more than that brand new.
