    Nope. Press Services>System Setup>Signal Test.

    See what your input signals are like. Id try unplugging the box for a minute and see if that resolves it.

    Many thanks.

    Interesting excercise. The test shows the signal is only about 50 - 60%. It also reports I don't have a phone line connected, in fact I've never had one connected.

    The system health check was inaccesable without a pin. I have a pin? I've certainly never used it.

    Anyhow, I unplugged everything and then plugged it all back in and now it works again. Its always the simplest things, isn't it?
    Regards

  • That's the usual solution their people will give you if you phone up, unplug it all, wait, put it back, alls okay, my old box hangs more and more lately, I don't think my son flicking through every channel non-stop helps.

    PIN is the last 4 digits on your viewing card, unless you changed it.
