Telewest set top box doing funny things
It seems to be stuck in a programming cycle where it says "Pdld" then swaps between "LAit" and "EAAS" then count
upto about 4000 before starting all over again repeatedly. If the TV is on, the picture is please wait, before switching to the TV briefly then
starting again. If you're trying to watch a DVD it takes control of the picture every 2 mintues.
Telewest / Virgin media say they can get to us on Monday afternoon, which is just great. Has anyone on here had this problem. Is there a way I can
fix the box myself.

when my telewest box went nuts they said it was a problem updating itself they said to leave it switched off (at the plug) for 12 hours then switch it
on again. Did the job for me.

I took the smart card out of the box this morning. There's a very charred square where the chip is. I guess its fried then.
