The main processor died May last year.  It was running on a backup 
processor since then, and the whole satellite was due to be replaced 
by Optus D1 early this year (say around March or whenever it actually 
launches). Apparently other satellites of the same model have 
suffered the same issues in recent years.  Who knows what the issue 
is this time, or when they will be able to fix it, but it died around 
6.30pm and their phones and website keep saying that service should 
resume shortly...

In the mean time what's the best way to disable my recording 
schedule?  Disassociate the Sky source from my S-VIdeo input?
