is this a common thing with these boxes?

reckon that mine must be the best part of 12 months there or just a bit more. yesterday morning was just getting non-stop pixelation of the picture and screen freezing up. ts said that they couldn't see my box online and there were no area issues, which they wouldn't as the connection light was either flashing away or off.

so an engineer is booked for the weekend. but this will be my 4th box in like 3 years - it's becoming a pita to keep losing recordings because it decides to commit hari-cari........................try explaining to my 3yo why he can't watch bob the builder or fireman sam.

the first 2 boxes were SA's, thought they were a pita so got a sammy. now with this one ending up likely to be replaced i'm not keen on them either - all these bloody boxes keep failing on me, the first replacement sa box died within 2 hours of swapping out. do they do any testing or qa on these during and after manufacture? because for them to keep on like this roughly every 12 months seems odd or just coincidence?
