Default Sky HD broke already!

60 hours after fitting, its broken, think thats a new record for me


Remote control isn't working, red lightat the top isn't flashing or anything so its completely dead! Have tried changing the batteries but nothing. Is this common to happen at all? Any quick fixes before I phone the Punjab tomorrow?

Same here, pull the power out, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in and all is fine.

unplug the box from the mains

plug it back in again
wait for it to go to the sky screen (channel 998)
then try the remote
if that doesn't work call shere punjab
