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?
