I can safely say the Sky HD box is the worst piece of equipment I have ever owned.Recordings constantly fail, the box needs resetting at least once a day as the picture is always cutting out and tonight, lo and behold, I put a channel 4 programme in my planner to record and it records a programme on itv4 that was on at the same time instead!On other occasions the red light shows a programme is recording on the sky box but when I go into my planner the said programme does not show as being recorded so consequently I can't play it back.
I contacted Sky who replaced the box but the current one is causing exactly the same problems.Thought I was the only one experiencing all this until I read countless other reviews from people with the same difficulties.I pay £64 a month for my Sky package but the uselessness of the HD box makes it vastly overpriced.
