I know it's frustrating for things to go worng, but please do take a chill pill with your rants to avoid the dodgy language.

TBH to get a tech appointment within 2 workgin days is pretty good going.

Try reformatting it. Instructions in my sig. You'll lose your recordings though.

hi mate the remote and the buttons on the box dont want to work at all so cant try the format, the hdd is full of stuff to im gutted, looks as if the box is well dead.

to right its frustrating rob i was quite calm until he said "its not life or death so its monday" it was a real bad additude but what can ya do whats done is done

Did you see this one:

Q: My V+ keeps rebooting every couple of minutes. Help!
A: Try removing the smartcard from the back of the STB, then reformat as described above. Don't forget to replace the card afterwards. If that doesn't work, try unscrewing the incoming cable instead.
