Sky Digibox "frozen"?

Hi,
I posted recently about my move and lack of aerial reception.
There is a dish and I've been given a Thomson Digibox, on its own without a card. The first time I plugged it into the dish it worked beautifully. The next day I unplugged it all to tidy the cables and now all I get is a screen with "Sky" written on it and the chameleon logo but I can't get the TV guide up or any channels.
I've never had Sky or a dish before - please does anyone have any tips on what might be wrong?
I think I understood from my posts on here before that I should be able to use the box without a card but would only get some of the channels.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,

A Sky Digibox will work without a card.
Maybe you short-circuited a cable connection?
The Thomson boxes are notorious for power supply faults.
This guy seems to know a thing or two. You might find some tips here:
