Thanks for the quick answers guys.

The blinkin' thing froze again and is not playing nice - won't do anything except say PACE & then TUNE and then won't move off TUNE. Have tried holding the down button (as told to by CS this morning) but nothing has happened so have switched the box off.

SMH - the box is in a TV unit, which is open front and back and the box has a 5 inch gap above it & 3 inches each side. It doesn't get too warm - the box I had before for the previous 3 1/2 years used to get so hot I'd turn it off night as I was worried about a fire hazzard, but this box seems to run much cooler.

Twelve year old monster has confessed that the box didn't just back on as easily as he said. Apparently it took several tries - mostly coming up with the 88.88 message and once with ERR1. I think I shall just have to wait for the engineer - this box was new in August and it took nearly two weeks before i could get my channels due to a problem with the system. The thought of spending the next two weeks with two teenagers on holiday + no TV is enough to make me think seriously about leaving home!
