    Hi All ,

    Woke yesterday morn to find DVR Box in 'INIT' mode and no signal .

    *So powered off DVR Box and rebooted etc etc
    *Entered IRELAND as Country
    *Entered 121 Code (living in Cork)

    This brings up a Set-up Screen showing the below :
    Locality : CORK
    Network ID : 43216
    Home Frequency : 290000

    Signal strength is fine + Signal Quality is 100%
    Once it starts searching for Channels Box powers down and reboots back into the blank screen with INIT displayed on Box .

    UPC guy calling out on Friday , anyone ideas ?
    New box needed or is there maybe another code for Cork that might fix it ??

    Thanks ,
    M

    It does sound like a dodgy box, but it could also be the recent software update. Our two boxes have been very unstable since then and crash at least once a week.
