Ok well in my house we have 4 different sky boxes set up with multiroom, theres 3 boxes in each room and 1 in living room..

But the 1 in the living room isn't turning on, its not even going on standby, i tried unplugging it, taking everything out etc. It just suddenly died and isn't going on now.

It keeps beeping on the TV, like if i pull the plug out the beeping stops, if the sky is plugged in then it starts the beeping.

Any ideas?

Are the vents blocked? Maybe it's over heating, turn it off for an hour and see what happens?

Do you mean a visual beep or a sound beep (sometimes people mean a blip on screen and call it a beep :P)

Most Sky boxes require being unplugged for about 10 minutes - 1 hour about once a month to reset them. I've had a few problems with mine not working and that's Skys answer to solving the problem.

If all else fails, phone them up :)

If its a sky + box these have a tendancy to over heat. Also if it is in a cabinet then take it out as again it tends to over head.

Take out all power and leave for 10 mins then try plugging in again.
