I have read Samsung Sky boxes seem to be quite unreliable (I don't think they are issued anymore though) but the newer Amstrad boxes are excellent as Sky own it and it's obviously in their interest to build them like a tank!. To be honest if a Sky box failed out of warranty (and obviously out of contract) I would just cancel if they didn't offer to replace it, as simple as that.

My dad has had a standard Pace Sky box for years without problems so it does seem a mixed bag.

My LCD display is shot on my Samsung V+ and it's less than a year old, assuming it was new when I got it but I know I could phone up and get it fixed or replaced for free I was just worried I might get a replacement SA box as I often record radio shows so have never bothered as otherwise it's fine.
I was answering your question on other providers which I have tried in the past, once bitten twice shy.

I have told you to ring up before to get that box replaced, if he offers a SA explain why you need a Samsung.
