I have a Thomson Sky+ digibox (installed August 2007).  We have noticed a 
ticking noise over the past few months but originally thought it was the 
central heating.  However today I heard the noise again and the central 
heating wasn't on.  I checked all my AV boxes and discovered the ticking was 
emanating from the right hand side of the Sky+ digibox.  Does anyone know 
what it could be?  Could it be a premature hard drive failure (bearings 
going)?

TIA

A Sky+ box is a personal video recorder designed by Sky.

I reckon it's either a fan or the hard drive, but I don't know if they'll 
send someone out just because it's "ticking" and not actually failed.

...but that's not important right now. And stop calling me Shirley.

Hi,

In my experience (IT) it is a sign that the harddrive is on it's way out. 
If you have any recordings that you want to watch/keep I would copy then to 
your vcr.
