    I just signed up and have to admit I'm a bit relieved to read this post.

    I took delivery of a 1100s yesterday. Set it up and it rebooted three times within a few hours. Then again last night. No freezing or anything just turns itself off then back on.

    It also did it again this afternoon whilst I was watching iPlayer. I have done a factory reset then googled and found this thread.

    I thought I'd got a faulty box so hopefully that's not the case and the issue will right itself.

    Not the best introduction to freesat. This brand new box had rebooted more in 24 hours than my sky box has in 15 years. But I am glad to be free of the sky sub costs!

    When it does work it works very well indeed. This is a most unusual occurrence. I doubt you will miss Sky after a couple of weeks. I certainly didn't when I ditched them a few years back.

    I'm happy so far to be honest. I especially like the free time scroll back. I've also grabbed a nowtv box as I love all the old comedies on Gold.

    I was just relieved to see that it's probably not a faulty box.

    I few months back I noticed everything set to record in my planner was on free channels and just thought what am I paying sky for? So ditched it soon as I could.

    That was exactly our situation. We were paying Sky goodness knows how much including multi-room and yet 95% our viewing was from the big five terrestrial channels. They reckon this scenario applies to a heck of a lot of Sky subscribers who often can't be bothered to do anything about it.

    To Jerri, like you it was by chance that I found this site and to be honest it is a breathe of freash air. Brilliant in other words. What is impressive, how certain members are helpful for someone like me, not technically gifted. I had a Humax Foxast HD for about four years and would have kept that except for the situation with BBC IPlayer. I wish they would get their act together regarding these reboots. A pain. I think you will enjoy Freesat and the beauty is you can get a load of non Freesat channels. I have tuned into Ulster TV and certain others.

    Just turned itself off again.

    Can't say I'm impressed with this.

    How long will it take for them to sort this out?

    It would appear some people are experiencing this issue more than others. As far as I know my 1000s has only had two reboots so far. I have probably jinxed it now by saying that.

    While watching the Olympics my 1000s rebooted about 3 times a day, no reboots lately but I'm not really watching that much TV at the moment.

    Am now wondering if I have got a faulty box. My box turned itself off this morning and has just done it again now.

    How long between switching itself off? Have you got power saving activated, if so the box will auto shut down after around 3 hours if not being used.
