Paul -
In my experience most digi-boxes these days, of whatever flavour,
contain very poor quality electronics which have been
'value-engineered' to the limits of their individual component
specifications. The boxes can be particularly prone to mains spikes
and temperature rises (wouldn't happen in the Aerospace Industry
<g>). Gerry's advice often works, switch 'em off, make a cup of tea
and then try again.
You should initially check that there are no problems at the
transmitter - see http://www.ukfree.tv/txlist.php for tx status.
