    Is it stuck at the splash screen? I have the A3 combo box and had that problem back in January and had to send it back to Freetv.ie as it was still under warranty.

    They told me at the time that it had to re-imaged. I think you can download the image and try it yourself. But as mentioned mine was still under warranty so Freetv did it for me.

    Box is perfect since. Certain 3rd party apps that are sideloaded can cause this apparently ( e.g. mobdro , showbox )

    There's no picture just boot on the front LCD of the box

    How long is the warranty

    Thanks

    Ok you must have the A3 as the A3 Combo doesn't have the front LED panel,

    Standard 12 manufacturers warranty should apply - you should contact the supplier for advice,

    Seems to be common enough on these receivers - loads of videos on Youtube showing how to reflash the firmware, although there is risk doing this,

    Better off returning it to the supplier if still under warranty
