v+ help....
 
I wonder if anyone can help.

I have a V+ BOX and I currently have a problem which is
frustrating me big time!!:mad:

I can only change channels at present with my Remote(have changed the batteries!!)

I CANNOT access the guide,the home page or my V+ service!!
also when I change channel no info box appears on screen!!
there is no access to any of the above when I try accessing from the box either:confused:

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did thanks, guy coming out on Monday...

I'd been in trying to set up my HD:mad::confused:
gave up in the end and it only started after that,
I was just wondering if I'd done anything stupidly simple!

might be worth checking your input source on the tv as when watching v+ through my DVD i also can just change channel and not view the tv guide etc.
Have to switch back to my cable box input source.

To see the menus you need the top scart connected to the tv :)

Sounds like you have set the V+ into HD mode, but your TV isn't in HD mode, or there's a problem with your HDMI cable.

To get back into SCART mode, plug the SCART cable into the top socket, then do this:

Hold in the Stop and Play/Pause buttons on the front panel, and press Reset. Keep Stop and Play/Pause held in until the display says 'boot'.
After a few seconds the display should say 'outpt'. Press the Fast Forward button several times until the display says 'Sd', then press OK. Wait for the V+ to reboot then you should be back in SCART mode.
