    Wasn't aware of any issues.
    Have you revived them with a null modem cable?
    Perhaps a change of firmware might help.

    I too have had trouble with the terrestrial reception. What should I do with the null cable please?

    The null modem cable allows the reflashing of a box which has become bricked / unresponsive. It's not needed if the box is responsive as you can upgrade the firmware using a USB.

    As regards your problem, you can try downloading the latest firmware for your box from the ferguson site and see if it helps. I have come across a similar problem recently with an Ariva 252 where it wasn't able to "see" channels on a terrestrial scan and an upgrade of the firmware seems to have sorted it.
