My, almost 6 year old, TV has just developed fine Horizontal Black lines (30mm apart) across most of the screen. It was purchased from Richer Sounds and they directed me to what appears the be a third party repair centre (JFA). Having provided them with all the details, coupled with images of...

Just noticed CEX have Grade A stock selling at £78, Grade B at £62, both with a 5 year Warranty (don't know how comprehensive their warranty would turn out to be). I may just go for one of those.

Looking at these BT/EE units on Amazon I've discovered two variants, one Freeview the other Youview. BT/EE TV Box Pro - 1TB 4K Wireless Freeview TV Box Latest Model - (RTIW387). ASIN BODMTT76K5. EE TV Box Pro 4K HDR Set Top Box Recorder 1TB Storage Subscription Free Youview Receiver...

Really appreciate that. Pity they didn’t carry over all the positive features from it’s predecessor.

That has been suggested but given the info provided by a previous contributor (https://www.diynot.com/diy/goto/post?id=6337078) re; lack of ongoing support, then the newer version seems more appropriate.

I've been over the reset procedure advised for these boxes (Remove all inputs/output, restart without aerial holding down the 'Down Arrow' button) and while it provides a temporary improvement, however, it then reverts to the pervious failings after a week or so. While the streaming sticks are...

I shall look into that one. Thanks for that.

Well, the issue returned this morning. No picture. The box was on and yet the TV screen prompted ‘Turn Box on’. While the TV Guide could be selected when choosing a channel, the TV screen then went blank. Using the main menu the ‘On demand’ option (Players & Apps) the ‘Apps’ selections failed...

Just to provide an update. After disconnecting everything and leaving it overnight, on restarting this morning its functioning much better. While the picture quality on some channels is not as good as in the past, the 'No Signal' issue on start-up has gone, for now at least. Therefore I shall...

Thanks for the input. As for overheating, its not excessively hot. I've opened it up and removed any dust and cleaned the fan. The failure symptoms I've noticed are; 1) Picture breakup but the same aerial also feeding TV is fine. 2) When the box has been idle for a period of time (E.G while...

My current seven-year-old BT DTR-T4000 box (Non subscription) is exhibiting signs of failure. I am looking for some pointers as to the best replacement options. One option is to go for a ‘like for like’ replacement. Cost; available on different platforms £100-£150. An alternative is the EE TV...

So its pot luck what might be delivered, unless you have a 'Physical' store where you can check the packaging before purchase.

Anyone know if there is any validity to this statement posted by Honeywell Support? "There are different part numbers for the T3R wireless programmable room thermostat: T3R - Wireless version - Y3H710RF0053 ( this has his own receiver box) T3R - (compatible with BDR91) - Y3H710RF0053-1."

It was an Exide LFB carbon boost 2.0 EL600 60ah. Cost, including fitting £136.80.

Just to finalise this thread, I’ve already had a replacement fitted. Thanks to all contributors.
