Fox T2 keeps on restarting
Yesterday I was watching an existing recording as a new recording started. Not long afterwards the box restarted and kept on doing so every 30 seconds. I switched off the box at the mains, but the same behaviour occurred when I switched it back on.
It then bacame a race against time to navigate to the Restore Factory Defaults option before the box once again restarted. I finally managed this at the third attempt and after retuning the box seemed to have returned to normal. I shall not be completely convinced this is so until I have repeated the conditions which apparently caused the original problem.
One problem that remains is that the box still insists that it needs to be retuned, despite this happening during the start up after restoring the defaults. I may therefore have to carry out a compleletly unnecessary further retune just to stop this.

There are a few known causes for this behaviour. First thing to try is turning off the DLNA server (Content Sharing Off) it it is currently on.
Thanks for the reply - however it was off
Have reformatted the hard drive - still no good. Beginning to do other daft things as well - no sound from HDMI and cutting out picture - plays ok through scart connection. Not sure if all these things are connected. Maybe the receiver is duff. Out of warranty too
(Yeah, complicated stuff wot!)
As for trying to catch it to do a factory reset : there is actually a USB-stick-loadable thingy for that which will instigate a factory reset before anything else if the USB contining it is plugged in when it wakes up.

"System Flush Update File" is the one.
