Do this once a week.

My old box was killed by my constant need to hard reboot. Sky refuse to acknowledge they installed too much software on the boxes. However, they now advise people to use a trick that only engineers should know about. I wonder why?

I was on my 3rd HD box before going to Sky Q. Sky's plan is for 80% of their customers to switch by 2020. It's only a matter of time before they remove the normal package. The model is outdated, but at least with Sky Q we are only leasing the equipment so, if it breaks, they have to fix it.
