    Hi Amarok 

    Try the following, it's worled for some forum members.

    Turn off the V6 at switch;  then on the V6 box  hold down both the power button and the +button at the same time.

    Then turn on the V6 again whilst keeping hold of those buttons for a furhter 30 seconds.

    The box should reboot, the power button will turn blue, and it should  reset and boot up normally

Hi Dave

I tried what you posted and it didn't work for me (I think). However, it gave me the idea to try a 3-finger salute and press all the buttons on the front of the box, not just the + and power. 

Switch off at the back. 

Press all the buttons on front of box (+ - and power)

Switch on and keep the buttons pressed

You will get the animated down arrow and it will seem to do an update. When it restarts the first time you will get an error saying it can't acquire the channels. Press OK and let it restart again. 

Everything back as normal. I hope it works for someone. 

Thanks for your help Dave.

Hi Mac152 

Thanks for updating the thread.

I'm glad you managed a workaround with a 3 fingered salute. It's good to think outside the box.

I'm sure that will very useful for other posters too.
