Sky box keeps switching itself off?

Sky Digital Box - not switching on at all. What can be the problem?

i have a sky digital box, not sky plus, and i just got back in from work and my digital is not appearing on, ive taken out the plug and put it back on and its still not working, everything else is fine. the actual power light on and off is not coming on at all. it was fine this morning.0 for a couple of days when it was working i kept getting this message on my screen that i need to replace my viewing card etc. but im not sure if thats the case. what can be the issue here?
Answer:

it's not the viewing card that causes this. it could just be taking a while to boot - have you left it on for at least 10 minutes? if that didn't work, try disconnecting the cable to the dish. obviously you'll get no signal, but you'll be able to see if the dish (or the lnb / cable) is causing a short-circuit. again - leave on for 10 minutes before giving up.
