Only another reset.

Some people have managed to get it working again after the box has reformatted the hard drive a second time.

Unfortunately these boxes are now approaching the end of life and there is no longer support for them.

Please note that TalkTalk now only supply non recordable ones., So it's best to try all alternatives if recording is important to you.

Hi,

Are you paying a separate charge for TV on your bill?

If you wish a box from TalkTalk, yes you will need to phone a probably need to recontract to obtain this. Of you currently pay a TV charge this will convert to the new monthly charge.

As the box no longer records there are alternatives you may wish to consider. If you do and pay the TV charge, you can phone the loyalty team and get this removed.

I've mentioned some alternatives here.

Did you call in and get help ?

No point mentioning the old box, this cannot be repaired or replaced, Simply ask about the new TV HUB.

Thanks
