Press the power switch on the box and if nothing happens sound fubared. You say its correctly set up please give details

Well for starters i am home appliance/ Home A/V installer and i install tv's with my eyes closed so i am 100% sure with my 12 years in the trade that it's connected correctly

When i switched on i got nothing on screen no wrong card or even no signal being received -infact there is not video signal on screen (i.e no blue screen) as i said before the power light comes on, but goes off after a few seconds, and i know how noisey the sky+ boxes tend to be but this is very quiet, sounds like the HDD is trying to fire up but nothing happens, so would the sky+ box work even if the HDD was not working- or is there somekind of software built in making the system idle if the hdd was dead???
