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.

Sounds like the STB is downloading from NTL, leave it to finish.

OH right errmm :blush: :dunce:

Re: is my box dead
 

is it still flashing, or has it returned to normal?

Re: is my box dead
 

Still flashing and I have had it on for ages now.

Re: is my box dead
 

The area where the channel displays is showing random flickering of numbers in weird patterns.?

Anyone help please I am missing my Voyager :(

Re: is my box dead
 

It's knackered. Download should only take 10-15 mins max. Report it to faults in the morning.

AWwww mann that sucks.

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.

Re: is my box dead
 

sounds knackered mate

Re: is my box dead
 

How long if I report tommorow before I get a replacement?

Re: is my box dead
 

is that a technical term?? oops:

How longs a piece of string, depends what appointments are available if a tech needs to be sent out :shrug:

Re: is my box dead
 

Sorry it was not the solution, but i called it how i read it. :(

Re: is my box dead
 

Thanks it is still doing this it is weird last night I left it switched on as normal nothing else happened all night got up this morning and it is playing up.

Re: is my box dead
 

Have you called CS? if not first thing Saturday, sadly you will not get an engineer out till earliest Monday.

Re: is my box dead
 

Sorry to sound picky here but anything like this needs to be reported to Faults not Customer Service, it may be possible that there are some appointments available tomorrow and Saxodriver can get one if he rings early enough

Re: is my box dead
 

Rang up sending someone Monday, wish there was some bodge to get it going for tonight missing my CSI and Star trek :(

The channel display is flashing 8888 and if I press tv it changes to some other numbers.

Powered it off/on no difference.
