SKY+ box switching itself off!

My Amstrad Sky+ box has started switching itself off (green to red) when watching channels. All is fine but then after 3 minutes or so it just stops. After a few minutes I can then switch it back on to green, but then the same thing happens. Plenty of ventilation. Is fine if I just watch the start up Sky Guide stuff, but not any channels.
Was desperate to watch the Liverpool v Man United game this PM :-( but looks like it ain't gonna happen. Been doing this for last few days and I was hoping it was just the weather ... seems not!
Any help gratefully accepted.
