Imperfection Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'll warn you now i went through several Sky+ boxes which did excally the same and they all point blankly refused to boot up. I now use Tivo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's the power button on the box - not the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inca Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 try this, will loose all ya recorded progs though switch off at the wall and then hold the left and right directional buttons on the front panel.. switch back on and wait until the large green cirle goes green... when it does (it will start flashing).. hit the select button the front panel.. the green circle will go backwards for a few minutes. It will then go into standby mode.. leave two mins and then you're good to go... (warning - this will reset the box and lose all your planner programmes so only do it as a last resort) , may take a few mins to do,, ive fixed so many sky box's doing this, ppl just chuck em out when they wont start up and just do this and they work again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
