Last Friday, my STB locked up. I did the usual, unplugged, waited, plugged back in, and found that it just continually rebooted after the NTL logo screen. If I leave it for a while, I can get it to boot to viewing a channel if I'm lucky, but then it will start rebooting again after a while half the time, and will lock up immediately if I actually try to use the remote. Even the engineer menus are inaccessible.

Basically, I'm just wondering if this is what I think it is -- a knackered STB (it's acting like it's overheating at a guess) or am I likely to be heading into a nightmare of multiple wasted days off work while various "engineers" come around and tell me that someone else needs to visit some other time. Anyone familiar with this sort of error?
