Hi @Barryblackwood 

Have you tried MAINTENANCE reset as follows :

Turn the box off, then unplug the power lead for about 10 minutes.

Re-plug in power  lead.

1. Ensure the YouView Box is switched off and is currently connected to the router (the YouView Box will require an internet connection).
2. Power on YouView using button at the back of the YouView Box.
3. Start YouView using the power button on the YouView Box front panel and then quickly press and hold both the + and – buttons on the front panel. If you haven’t pressed the buttons together by the time 'YouView Waking Up' is displayed, or you see the 'YouView please wait...' message then try again.
4. Let go of the + and – buttons once the 'Huawei – Maintenance Mode menu' is displayed.
5. The + and – buttons on the front panel will navigate the menu. Keep pressing the – button until 2 “factory reset keep recordings” option is highlighted. If you go past the option, simply press the + button to navigate back to the option.
6. Press the power button on the YouView Box front panel to select the option. This will bring up some information and ask 'Do you want to proceed?'. Press the power button again to confirm.
7. The YouView Box will now show a progress bar as it downloads software from the internet and installs on the YouView Box. This may take several minutes. Once complete, the YouView Box will restart.
8. Once the YouView Box restarts, the YouView Box will show the initial setup wizard. You will need to run through the setup wizard including tuning the channels.

You will then need to reset your personal settings (such as parental controls / Antenna Out / Surround Sound etc.) and also reset your scheduled recordings (might be worth taking a note of future recordings before doing this so you don’t miss any).

It is also a good idea to restart your router once you have done this.

Hi

OK, can you try the full factory reset from the settings menu.  This is the last option to try.

Thanks

Karl.

Hi Karl, did this again. I reset all including router and still the same. I have no idea now read up on loads followed step by step and the box is still the same. Anything else to try ? Barry

Sky1, Sky2, Sky arts, MTV and W have stopped working other channels like CC are OK.

I have re-started my router and reset the box with a soft reset and checked all wires, but still not working.

Please could you look into  this
