Major 'Crackling' on TV Box
My TV box has started making a major 'crackle', and it sounds like it's round the PSU area so I've turned it off. We actually heard it over the TV
It seemed really hot too - I know they get warm but with the cracking as well, I didn't want to risk it!
I called the fault line and they're sending someone out this afternoon, and I imagine it'd be a new box....
The only thing is is now I am worried that I might get a different type of box - We have tivo and therefor use a little IR sender thing, and I know some of the boxes don't work with this - I was wondering if this is unfounded, as I think it might be region dependant. We're in Nottingham, NG5
And I've just realised.......

The Box I have is a Pace DI4001N - I'm not entirely sure of the range - if there is a better one with standard IR Codes I'll have that one!!!
I must admit we hardly ever use the interactive, or even the guide for that matter, but we haven't got propper interactive yet.....

All Langley platform boxes use RC5 codes so no matter if its a 4001 or a 4010 your Tivo should still work.

I thought it was something like that - what's the 4010 like?

Re: Major 'Crackling'
Well he's been and swapped the box - and everything looks fine - just got to wait for my channels to come through.
I'm Impressed, I have to say - I only rang them this morning and it's fixed now!!

Well, yes and no - Apparently "It's a newer version of the same model"....
My old box had ethernet, Audio out and perhaps another cople of connectors on it - all of which were unused.
This one doesn't have those on it, and it has an extra plg-in thing on the back to get the RF Out from it....
