    Think our ultimo has bricked it. Mild signs of life but blank screen.

    Any recommendations for repair or alternatively looking to replace. Ideally will be able to record on 3-4 channels. And integrate saorview.

    Recommendations for set top box and ideally an installer as don’t have the time.

    Thanks

    I don't know if it is the same with an Ultimo, but many Vu+ receivers had issues with bad capacitors.

    There were guides online for changing them. I have done mine once and it soldiers on.
