Problem with STB

We have had power failures in Harrogate today. Now my Samsung set top box won't boot up. When I power it on the display is showing 8888, occasionally one of the numbers will scroll round from 0 to 9 and then go back to 8. Nothing coming up on the tv, but terrible picture interference.
I don't know if the box is goosed, or if it can't boot itself up because of a problem further down the line. My broadband and phone are back up.
Any help gratefully received.

VM often get bad comments on this forum, so I want to say well done for the service I have received for this fault.
Engineer booked for between 4pm and 7pm. Arrived at about 4.50pm, box replaced all is now ok.
Well done to VM and thank you. :clap:

Engineer said this is the 5th box of this type today with the same fault, all caused by the power failure.
