dontsurf: Is T-Box really that bad?
lanceanz:
My box hasn't frozen in 5 days. Unless you are impressed when your MySky runs 5 days without any problems, keep your MySky for now. My all-time record is 9 days. I've had a T-Box since late 2010. My first box was replaced in April 2011.
My recommendation - come back to this thread in a few months to see if we've had an update, and whether it's made our T-Boxes reliable.
stevesumner:
I have to say I really like the look of the latest Magic TV, and am wondering if it could be a replacement. Dump the T-Box, but use the Magic TV to record stuff off Sky. Does anyone know if that is possible? I guess if you get rid of the T-Box and get a normal digital decoder you should be able to output the signal to the Magic TV and hopefully record that without any loss of quality?
What do people on this forum think?
For me the big advantages of the Magic TV are much more storage space (1TB), can edit recordings, can move content on and off the device, can play content from external storage.
I thought the T-Box was gonna have access to external content via the USB port or the ethernet port?
stevesumner: My T-Box was working quite well for about a year. But over the last 6 months we have had to reboot the thing about twice a month. Typically seems to freeze when we are recording, try and pause or change channel or go into the planner or pretty much any random thing while a recording is taking place can lock it up.

ChristineNZL: I would hate to recommend the T-Box to anyone - until they sort all the problems out. Mine just froze again and while recording two channels and of course that means part recordings and no manual recording option. I could scream! The thing that gets me is how incredibly HOT the box gets when it freezes. Is this the same for everyone or maybe my box is simply overheating and my problems could be solved with a new box?

antoniosk: There was a general network fault across many nodes tonight - mine took 30 mins to come back, but it has restored.
