Yesterday at around 12.05 and the day before at around 11.50 my Sky box
rebooted itself. which was annoying as i was watching something . i was on
ITV. was it only me. it is not prone to doing this so i was wondering if
software was coming down or something.

Loose women was on itv1HD last night/this morning. It was not listed, but
the picture looked good and the itv1hd dog was in use.

hmmm, interesting. Last night I switched on the bedroom TV and noticed that
the Sky HD box was off (in standby) but I could of sworn I'd not turned the
box off all day. When I switched the box on it went to the Sky Preview
channel 999 (or sommat like that). That only happens when I pull the power,
so I thought there must of been a power outage at some point, although I did
noticed that none of the clock radios etc had reset, which usually happens
after a break in the power. Anyway I'd forgotten all about it until I saw
this post. I've checked my HD box and can't see any obvious changes,
although I must admit I can't say what the software version was before any
of this happened. Maybe it was a software update, maybe it wasn't, hopefully
someone will post to confirm.

Loose women in HD sounds scary

My Sky box is not HD - and that had rebooted too.

Another one here - old Panny which had been left on BBC News rebooted. I'd
assumed yet another overnight power glitch but the clock on the microwave
oven (our only telltale) was fine.

This happens occasionally with our non-HD box. On occasins we've been
watching a programme when the box aprubtly shut down.

It typically takes around a quarter of an hour before it will answer the
helm again. I assume it has to do with a Sky update.

It does take a time but it shouldn't be as long as that, especially on a
non-HD box. I thought updates were installed at night.

My HD box did it last evening. I was watching a recording while it was
being made and noticed it was near the time of another broadcast I
wanted. I used the Now and Next banner to check that I had set it to
record when the picture froze, then click - it had switched off. It
took about five minutes to recover and the recording I was watching had
been lost, only the adverts at the end which came after recovering were
there.

Below mentioned modes is to be applied to reboot Sky TV HD box:
-Turn off your Sky box and unplug it from the mains.
- Turn off your other devices such as Sky Tv that are connected to Sky box. After switching them off, make sure you unplug those devices from the mains.
- Examine whether the power light on your Sky box and other connected devices are “off”.
- Now plug all the devices to the mains and turn “on” those devices.
- You will see a “red power light” on your Sky Tv box is illuminated.
-After 3 minutes, on your Sky remote press “Sky” button. A green light will be illuminated on the front panel of your Sky Tv box.

If there is no green light on your Sky Tv box or it is unable to reboot your sky hd box,you must call Sky customer service on the number mentioned here http://www.fixithere.net/reset-skyhd-box/.
