Yes, the box kept losing signal. Had to restart the thing a few times.

Sky Q
Anyone else have issues last night with the box randomly switching itself off and being unresponsive?
Yep, watching the Charlton Wycombe game and it just decided to power off. It takes so long to reboot too. Pain in the arse |

Ah that happened to me also. I did think it odd, but glad it was a collective outage rather than unique to me! |

Lots of Facebook posts about it too.
I've got an old school HD box. Sound as a pound
Is that how it works? Reminds me of a time we stayed in a Blackpool B and B for circa £10 a night. The hot water was powered via a method that involved putting 10p into the meter. The meter oddly was located outside the bathroom door on the landing. The water lasted for about 2 minutes and my mate, who went first had to creep out onto the landing, with shampoo in hair and eyes to put the 10p back into the machine. The joys of budget Blackpool 'B and B ing'. |

I went on a stag do to Blackpool in 1999. Room was £14 a night, landlord was the spitting image of Jim Bowen. They had a tiny bar, 2 pumps - bitter and lager. Available from 9am till 3am  We went to a strip joint on a Saturday afternoon |

He played at a festival I was head of Artist Liaison at in Saudi a couple of times. His tour manager referred to him with no tongue in cheek as 'This generations Michael Jackson'.
Check his computer.

Watching FA Cup final and being reminded how a lot of our weird happy clapping contingent always want to bring Crystal Palaces song back and it creeps back in over XTC every six months or so.

The Eurovision song contest. Always been awful, full of songs I'd never usually listen too. Why does it still exist and get so much attention/interest? Always seems to be political bollocks too.
Nul point.

It's silly fun and it exists because literally hundreds of millions of people watch it. |

Exactly, I used to hate it but then I saw the fun people get from it and its totally harmless, I have embraced it a little more now and watch and laugh at the utter ridiculousness of the songs and fans. I say keep it going. |
