Sky+HD box - waiting for my 3rd in 2 WEEKS

    Had an install on 24/10, first box started freezing. Did a firmware update, didn't help.
    Box eventually replaced - second box had a ticking hard drive from the start.
    Today wouldn't come out of standby at all - red light all the time.

    Left it plugged in for a while - Sky+HD logo came up, then the circle and triangle display on the front went mental (flashing blue and red lights) - then nothing.

    Now it just gets to the Sky+HD logo and crashes with fan noise.

    Normal Sky Box installed at the same time has had no issue.

    Here's my question - are these Sky+ HD boxes really unreliable or have we just been extremely unlucky ?
