I'm on my third SA V+ box in 4 years, the first cause the screen to flash red every few seconds. Reboot the box and it would be ok for a couple of days.
The second the HDD drive slowly died, it started when I put my centre speaker from surround sound system on top. I did remove it and it did improve but eventually it died! Failed recordings initially and then wouldn't play back recorded programs. I should have bought a shielded speaker but I'm tight
The third is fine, but they had to boost the signal at the distribution box up the road from me to get VOD to work reliably!
But on the whole it’s not a bad box!
