Re: V6 keeps rebooting literally every 5 minutes.
Yes, there's an on-screen warning if it overheats. It's likely just a hard drive failure.

Will they try and repair it or bring (or send?) me a new box?

Does anyone repair anything these days? And even those that want to can't find anyone to do it.

Sweeping generalisation, but makes my point (hopefully).

V6s do get repaired. But not in the home.

Re: V6 keeps rebooting literally every 5 minutes.
I did a 'Connect to Virgin Media' and when it got to the last task (loading) it did it for a bit and then the screen went completely green! Is this significant?

Is this the "Your DVR has detected a problem and is attempting to repair it. Please allow 3 hours" message?

The box has died, if so.

Nope, the screen just went completely green!

Is it worth leaving it for 3 hours, or doesn't this do anything?
