Sitting on my sofa at 7.30am the other morning, and there was a loud bang...

wtf was that I wondered, looked up and the Virgin box (standard box) had gone off, the room stank of fried electronics and on investigation the box was red hot.

Unplugged and am awaiting an engineer. Sounded and smelled like a cap went to me. Only a couple of months old at best.

Anyone else had anything similar?
