Hi, I have done a lot of work with SKY Boxes in the past, I have seen this problem before.

It could be that the back-up button is stuck, try pressing a few times then try this method.


First..Power off box at mains
Second:: Press and hold the back-up button on the sky box.and turn the power back on still holding the backup. Updating software screen will appear. Give it 10 mins.

Try this and get back in touch.
