If it has been 7 years since it was used then you will need to try and update the software.

Before doing so make sure you have a good signal (signal test in the services menu) – anything over 50% for the quality should be fine.

Turn the power to the box off, hold in the backup button on the box and (while still holding the button in) turn the power on. Keep holding the backup button untill all the lights have come on.

Check the software version (services > system details) before and after to see if it changed.
