For a new V box, what would you do in order to access the Diagnostic Menu? The above, doesn't seem to work.

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Home->Settings->Technical Stuff.

But why do you want to?

Re: Useful STB Info
 

I'm wanting to look at the Blue, DOCSIS Engineers Menu. Which shows the signal levels, etc, etc.

Have you got a Samsung box?

If is like this:

Turn off at the plug and then holding down the CH۸ and CH۷ turn the box back on.

Keep them held for about 10 seconds and the hit OK on your remote.

Should take you into the diagnostics menu.

I've never been able to see any channels that others have said are testing.

anyone know how to resolve the fault 1059/0SS20006,on a virgin media box?as Virgin media dont seem in any hurry to sort this out,which i have now had for a week.

Re: Useful STB Info
 

1059 is a server issue, so it will sort itself out (you can't do anything I'm afraid, it all VMTS). :)

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Thanks for letting me know Tom.So how long then? what does VMTS Mean?

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Virgin Media Technical Support... Usually.
Although i suspect it may be the name of a server based system in this context. I'm as puzzled as you!

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Sorry, I meant Technical Support. :)

Checking the status page, I can't see a 1059, which area are you in?

Merry Christmas everyone! Next year I'll try and spend more time over here, I'm mainly on DS at the moment!

Tom :)

Last night our STB went off. Switching it off for 2 minutes and on again wouldn't help. The button on the front stayed red and nothing appeared on the display. It's one of the silver Samsung ones and we only got it before Xmas. Before that we had a different coloured STB's, I don't know what make it was but it was a total pain and needed switching on and off again to reset it every couple of of days. The Samsung one has been great until it went off yesterday.

Later last night it just came on by itself.

This morning it wouldn't switch on, but switching off for 2 min & on again works most of the time (although a couple of times it went through the usual things it shows on the display but right at the end it didn't come on like it should have done). The only problem is when it's switched off again it won't come back on requiring the whole reset palaver all over again. When it's swirched off, the button goes red but sometimes the channel number is still showing on the display.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

An engineer can't come out until the 26th so I suppose we've got to put up with resetting it every time we want to switch it on and hoping that it'll come on this time. :mad:

Re: Useful STB Info
 

It's a well-known hardware fault. If it's working leave the box on until the tech comes.

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Thanks for this post people. my box died last night err2, so with the help of this thread I now know I will prob have to get a new box

Re: Useful STB Info
 

Hi i switched on my set top box about 30mins ago and it continuously runs through a sequence.

its says eaas, err4, lait, ldpd, pace, ntl, not in this order, it also runs through every channel really quickly with the three led lights flashing beside the numbers.

have tried switching it on and off, it is an ntl pace box. i read somewhere that it maybe updating and to leave it for a while??
