Mine crashed at the same time. It was out of warranty but I still took it back to where I bought it. They had 3 others behind the counter - without any hesitation they replaced it for me.

It was a software download from top up tv that was corrupt. They are aware of. Copy and paste the link below for steps to attepmt to reset your software. I tried itand it worked. My box is up and running even though I lost all my saved recordings.

Mine did the same and the red light kept flashing for 3 days, I have since unplugged it and I have also put a complaint to Watchdog needless to say I am speechless

Apparently , if this happened over the weekend, it is likely to be a Thomson update that has crashed machines.
See other related threads at bottom of screen.
I've written to BBC Watchdog today - as my box did the same thing last night (Sunday 19 April 2009).
Am fuming - for a company to crash its own digi-boxes is totally ridiculous !
