Recently replaced an SA box - it started with the random reboots, then it gave a couple of funny errors and 'lost' recordings which were later re-found, then it started pixellating recordings. I reformatted the hard drive 2 or 3 times, but it was just dying (this was over a period of a couple of months or so)

Got a box swap - actually wanted an SA replacement but he only had Samsung, now I'm glad to have the Samsung - will keep that it/when TiVo comes and let them have my other SA back. If you're going to be keeping a V+ when you get TiVo I'd get a box swap now if it's playing you up rather than waiting for TiVo as we still have no definite clue when that's happening.
