            I would do a factory reset and do a re-install of the firmware. 1.07.
            Let me know if you need instructions

                    If you can't get in any of the menu's i am not sure what can be done.
                    Some of the more technical guys might be able to answer you.
                    Have you tried switching it off and on at the back.

                        never guess what, its fixed. when i set the box up a few months ago it was interfereing with my dvd player, so i changed the output frequency channel no, when reset it reverted to default and my television was not tuned into the default setting, haha, loads of headache for a stupid little mistake, sorryto trouble you guys, thanx for the help recieved though, much appreciated
