I have an Amstrad DRX280 Sky+ box which as of yesterday will only work as a standard box; no hard disk access. Very difficult to switch on after it goes to standby. System reset does not solve the problem. Am I going to have to perform a total reset and wipe all my stored programmes? Is there any way of accessing the programmes and saving them to a computer hard disk?Comment

accessing recordings
is there any way to access your recordings if you have cancelled your subscription. They have told us often enough that we own the box but now we can't watch or record anythingComment

Sky box keeps freezing
Will the stage 2 and 3 resets work for a box that freezes intermittently including the infrared sensor and therefore use of remote control?Comment

No Luck
Ah well, it must be a difference in transmissions between the UK and Ireland...
I did the resets, reboots, pressing arrows and buttons but the problem remains. I have a subscription Sky+ box in the living room working perfectly. A friend gave me their Sky+ box (she upgraded to HD) which I put in the bedroom, replacing my old black Pace one (which started encrypting some UK channels in the past months).
It will not record, will not pause.
The Irish channels remain in place on 101-105 (it didn't revert back to the UK listing) but I can't view them as they've become encrypted.
This is both with card in or removed.
CH4, E4 etc are now also encrypted.
Thanks for the info anyway guys, it was worth a try.

I've got a Sky+ box thats been stuck on standby for 24 hours now. Tried all the pressing buttons while you turn on the power tricks - but no response. It just sits there with the standby light glowing defiantly. Cant hear any noise when power is connected. The unit went down as a result of a short power cut while it was recording.
I'm going to remove the hard drive and try to format that on a computer. Then put it back and see if there's life. Next would be replace the power supply.
Anyone out there got any other suggestions? (I already have the big hammer on standby)Comment

This is the only way I know.
You could try this procedure which is the same as doing a full system reset from installer menu. You will lose all existing / planned recordings;
1. Disconnect from mains.
2. Press left and right arrow keys on front of receiver (on right of box).
3. Reconnect mains while holding down arrow keys.
4. Keep pressed until green circle leds light.
5. Release left/right buttons.
6. Press select. (on receiver)
7. The green circle led's rotate anticlockwise approx 20 times.
8. Green leds go out.
9. If the green play led lights then HHD format is good
10. If red lights the format is not good and hard drive is faulty.Comment
