Page 1 of A Question Regarding A DVD Recorder And Sky

It seems that every-time I try to record from Sky on the DVD Recorder something happens. Last night it was while I was recording 24. I made sure the disc was set at the right length/time. After a couple of hours of passionate frantic lusty love making I went to check the recorder (OK we were out with the dog, and no love making involved it just sounded good) and the Sky box looked like it was a video on pause.
I had to turn everything off at the mains to restart it. Can the DVD recorder be causing this? My Sky box is 7 years old..can it be past it`s sell by date?

Appreciate any help.

Brubby, I doubt if this has anything to do with the DVD Recorder - more likely your Sky box is "going home".

However, to eliminate the DVD-R, I would sit there and repeatedly start and stop recording to see if the fault occurs in front of you.

You have 2 choices if you need a new box - you can ring Sky, pay £65 and get a refurbished box (no choice and probably as old as the one you have now) or you can surf eBay for a new one - they vary between £50 to £100 (for the latest model). Then you just call Sky to get the card twinned with the box when it arrives.

This is what the new generation of Sky boxes (mega fast menu loading etc) look like:
