hi.
i was watching sky on HD box, and the screen kept flickering between sky picture and a black screen, and the input kept coming up (HDMI 1), then flickering back to the sky picture. As it was pouring down with rain, i put it down to the weather.
this morning was the same, and this afternoon i took the viewing card out, which was very hot. The opposite side of the pin was burnt - could this be the reason for the tv flickering back to a black screen and sky?
More importantly, why is my box overheating so much that it has burnt my card?
Sky customer services say its nothing to worry about, but an engineer is coming saturday (which means i will lose all my recordings if and when he replaces the card or box)
anyone else had this problem?
It is a genuine sky HD box.
thanks
