Help!! STB displaying Error Messages!!

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on this problem??

A STB in our house was missing it's EPG (As per usual) so we rebooted it (as we would have been advised to do).

All seemed to be going well until the display showed numbers counting upward (like the STB had only been installed). When this eventually stopped, "PdLd" was displayed, followed by "ERR5" and "LAIT" alternately being shown. "ERR5" was displayed constantly for a few minutes when "PACE" appeared (I thought that was the problem over ) Unfortunately "ER20" was then displayed.

We left the STB for about 10 mins and came back to see that nothing had changed, so we rebooted again!! This time "PACE" appeared and remained that way for over 20 mins.

Another reboot and we had the same scenario as the first reboot, although no "ER20" was displayed; it just froze at "PACE".

A fourth reboot - same as reboot number 2.

Can anybody translate these error messages for me?? I have a suspicion that the STB is dead and will need to be replaced. Unfortunately it's Sunday and NTL is closed!!!! Anyone know if they'll be closed tomorrow seeing as it's a Bank Holiday (although not a major one)??

Forever frustrated and confused by NTL!!!!! (Maybe Sky's the limit??)
