Tony,

I've got a Panasonic TU-DSB30 with a FTA card and the box has only locked
up once (_maybe_ twice) since I've had it (at least 18 months, prob 2
years). I don't do anything funny with the power, other than to put it into
standby at night, and make sure it's kept reasonably cool (cabinet doors
left open almost permanently). After opening the doors after they've been
shut for a while the top of the case is very warm. Oh, the digibox is on
top of the stack of gear in the cabinet. I'm looking at fitting a fan into
the cabinet to help further (and let me shut the doors) but no time as yet.

HTH,

Tim H.

Was away in Eire over Easter.
Only 4 nites away, but a cricial time for TiVo - Friends/ER/F1 Grand
Prix/24
all on in this period.
Did it record them?  No, of course not - the frigging sky box locked up
some
time on Thursday :-(  FFS!!! :-<<

v.v.v.v.frustrating to say the least.

I know some ppl have automated power cycling their digiboxes to alleviate
this
problem, but I'd prefer a better solution.
Are there any boxes out there that do not suffer these lockups?.

Please don't say "SKY+" :-/

cheers,
