Hi there. My receiver boots up fine, but has a problem when trying to access the menu whether using the front panel or the remote.
When trying to access the menu, the receiver appears to be switching itself off then on again. This appears to be confirmed by the fact that if I change a channel, then try to access the menu, the receiver will reset to the original channel.
The receiver also appears to switch off then on again when changing channel from FTA to an encrypted channel (so requiring the cam or smartcard to kick in). This means that I can't watch any encrypted channels at the moment, which is frustrating.
Unfortunately, there a no local outlets in this area either willing or able to diagnose the fault. This forum is therefore my last resort. If it might be a power supply problem, I'll get my dad to have a look using the schematics posted on this forum (he's an electronics engineer, whereas I don't have a clue!).
Here's hoping that someone can help... Thanks in anticipation!
