Haven't had that one before Mario.

We've had heaps where it just dies, you unplug the power and then plug it back in and whooshka she comes alive.

I'd give Foxtel a buzz. They'll fix it in a flash and probably try and sell you HD a the same time :)

Before you ring them try pressing the "FOXTEL" button at the top of the remote and then try changing channells etc.

Ok Cheers, but I did ring them and they didn't suggest that! I'll give it a try when I get home, they suggested I reset the remote by pushing every button at the same time! :shock: I think I'll try your idea first! :lol: if that doesn't work I have to give them a call and "we'll try some stuff over the phone" ooer! :P

Try pressing Back and Select at the same time on the actual Foxtel box itself.

Batteries are probably fucked.
