is my box dead
Today got up went to turn on my box ( left on standby ) and all I get are random flashing numbers on the boxes display, I have my internet via SACM, and the tv with family pack.
It is a Samsung STB, is this cooked? I have turned off at mains and removed all leads, and reinserted 3minutes later to no avail.

Re: is my box dead
Sounds like the STB is downloading from NTL, leave it to finish.

Re: is my box dead
It's knackered. Download should only take 10-15 mins max. Report it to faults in the morning.

Re: is my box dead
Try powering it on with the down button on the front panel held in. If/when the display says "Ld:14", let go. (Should take around 5 seconds). Might just get it working temporarily until you can get someone out to it.

Re: is my box dead
When I turn it on the channel thing flashes madly no picture, and the on button LED flashes all the time. Nothing else.
