[QUOTE="Alan F, post: 158189, member: 195354"] Very sorry if this is a repeat question, but can't find it listed before. My 2 year old Sky Plus set top box is playing up, and increasingly I am finding failed recordings, or incomplete recordings where it cuts off the last few minutes of a programme. There appear to be lots of postings about replacing hard drives, but not the box itself. I don't have the over-priced Sky insurance, and anyway cannot guarantee to be in at home for a whole day which is what Sky engineers expect. I tried a complete reset of the drive using Sky's instructions a few weeks ago, and that seemed to work for a while. However, I am thinking I would prefer to buy a new set top box, and wonder if I can get one directly from a reasonably-priced dealer, without having to go through Sky? I don't want to have to do any complicated electronics, and also would want the same easy to use features including the Sky programme planner. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
