V6 Box - Problems with Recordings

For the past few weeks I have had problems with the V6 box.  Planned recordings sometimes not recording, recording playback stopping and stuttering, picture breaking up etc.  Also, the box sometimes decides to reboot when watching a live programme or recording.  Have tried reporting this by phone but for some reasion can't get through to the correct department without giving a mobile number gfor a link to be sent to me.

Any help appreciated.  Many thanks.

        Thanks for all your help Tom.  New box installed so  hopefully no more problems.

    VM staff should respond on this forum if you don't mind waiting a few days, but it's not a primary means of fault reporting.

    No TV box should be restarting of its own accord, that's a sure fire sign of a fault. On the recordings point, you've not mentioned any problems with live TV so I'll assume that's fine - try pausing live TV for a short time and watch it delayed. This is also a recording, using your hard drive in the same way. If this plays up, then that's confirmation of a hard drive problem.
