Sky+ recordings keep failing

I wonder if any of you can help?
Nearly every time I set the sky+ box to record it fails!! When I go into the information to find the fault, it tells me that no signal was being received, even though I know there is one, as I was watching another channel at the time!! :mad:

  • I don't think this is the problem, as sometimes it does record, but more often than not it doesn't!!

    Have you done the switched it off at the plug, leave it for 3 mins and switch it back on again?

    I needed to do this the other week on my Sky+HD box.

    I think it had been given a software update one night and hadn't been recording since.

    The off/on cured mine.
