    Hi Folks

    firstly thank you all for your assistance over the last year or two. i am one of the probably many that have read, used & appreciated your advice and updates but are unable to offer anything useful in return. now it seems that i have to ask myself as i cant seem to find anyone else with a similar problem.

    came in other night and my box (starview 7x13 slots) was frozen. channel number and other lights were visible on box but nothing would work and no picture or sound on tv. tried old faithfull reset by turning off back, unplugging etc but now cant get anything from box at all. power seems to be going to box as when switching on get slight static noise from telly.

    any ideas or solutions anyone?

    Cheers

    if i plug cable box into telly everything works as it should but if i use starview box not a thing - black screen
    is there any kind of fuse or something that could have blown internally?
