    Try a front panel reset, normally brings them back to life.

    And what do you get if your box is fucked? Do you get a new one or a refurb?

    Can you not just say your going to cancel your sky subs cause your box is fucked and out of warranty? Worked for me and got new dish and box for free.

    Yeah will give that a go if the other HDD doesnt bring it to life.

    I will threaten to cancel my 2 x multiroom subs and my HD sub (£30/month!)
