    Has the A850 box broken down completely? I have done an update and now if I go into Cable Scan, Menu or whatever I cannot get out of it. I have continued switching my box off and now when I put it on it is stuck on menu and I have no channels, it won't update and it is stuck. Any ideas please would be really gratefully received

    I am not really knowledgeable. Do you mean do an internet update and a USB update because if so I have done both of these. Is that what flashing means please?

    yeah that's what flashing means, you may reflash with A850 firmware and update hopefully to recent firmware and see if it clears.

    its the same as before you have to scan correct provider and netid to pull in channels,you cant exit out as 0 channels found means wrong info entered.

    No it isn't sorted Asek. Just scared as I am not very knowledgeable on these things and appear stupid. I have got firmware update to May 17 2016. I presume this is the latest. My line is now showing as connected but all the channels apart from normal are scrambled. so no it is not sorted. I do not know where to go from here as I have been working on it repeated and it is driving me mad.

    1) why did you do an update in first place

    2) do you defo know your cable provider it hasn't changed by any chance?

    3) have you done a scan on your cable provider?
