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.

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

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.

When I turn it on the channel thing flashes madly no picture, and the on button LED flashes all the time. Nothing else.
