Was watching Sky just before the England match on Saturday when the STB started behaving really strangely.

Firstly it wouldn't change channel or switch off using the standby button. Next, as I was about to pull the power lead out it displayed "mute card" in an error message type box on the screen with "ok" selected. None of the buttons worked on the remote but did on the box. Tried to change channel but just got no sound or pictures on any. When I did pull the plug (and push it back in again), it complained about the card not being inserted so I gave it a quick wipe.

Eventually, I had to leave it a few mins and reset again before it came back on. Now I seem to have lost the ability to put the box in standby - the display goes off but the picture stays on. Also seem to have lost the ability to output RGB too.

Box is a Pace 1000 if that helps.
