Default FVRT90 (deceased).

Having turned out not to have been affected by the end of InView EPG
service - my FVRT90 promptly died.

When I went to use it the power LED came on and then it froze, so I
unplugged it for 30 seconds and plugged it back in, whereupon the 7 segment
display run through the Klingon alphabet and then went blank.

Hopefully it only needs a PSU recap or dry joints sorting out - otherwise
I'll have to put up with the less than favourite Techwood (Vestel) and the
POS Nikkai barebones.


Does it do that every time you cold boot it now?

Could be the flash is worn out or the drive is knackered. I think the
test pattern comes up when there are channels stored but the drive is
not formatted (ie it thinks its in the factory). I'm not entirely sure.
