This has been so frustrating. For a week now one of the two V6 boxes won't start up.
One box is perfectly fine, broadband and phone are fine.
The power light is orange (not red) and there's no signal on the TV.
Reboot using the rocker power switch, just comes back with an orange light which flashes then stays steady. Sometimes it will show the "Welcome" screen too, but in either case the screen then goes black and doesn't respond to any further button presses.
I tried the "+ and power" button method, suggested elsewhere on this forum, and it does the same thing; "Welcome" for a minute or so and then nothing.
Managed to get to speak to someone on the 150 number after many attempts and hours on hold.
She aggressively told me that because there was a fault reported in my area (even though I'm not experiencing that fault and it wasn't to do with VOD) that she could not arrange an engineer AND that call centre staff are not allowed to diagnose technical issues over the phone. I had to wait for the fault to clear and call back.
So a few days later I had an SMS saying the fault in my area is fixed (not that I reported it, and it still shows there is an area fault on the service page) but after 2 more days of hours on hold I've not got through to speak to someone. Not as I feel that will help.
Can anyone help me? Anything else I can try?
