I have 2 boxes and both have had the same problerm within about 2 hours of each other.
The first one was in standby all night and when I went to turn it on, I realised it was orange not red and would not turn on.
It would repeat flashing orange, with the smaller lights flashing for seconds, then the main light goes orange again, and the whole process repeats every few minutes. I read this means a failure of the software image, so I did the procedure to revert to the previous version (to 2.99 from 3.59). It then booted up and I went to the engineers menu to do a forced download to get back to 3.59. I left it on standby, and when I came to look at it again, it had gone orange with the same symptoms as before.
I did the whole procedure again but before I got the forced download again, I reformatted the drive losing all my recordings. It worked this time, but I noticed there was a "message" saying the "new software" was out and to leave it on standby to get the upgraded software. Not sure what that is ???
Anyway, now I have done the format and lost all my recordings (the drive was 50% full), I was watching live tv on the other box and it turned itself off and went orange with the same symptoms as the first one ??????????????
I thought maybe it was a forced download from tutv, but it hasn't come back on yet and it has been hours.
I thought it was too much of a coincidence for both machines to get the same problem within hours, and from reading this post, it seems I was right.
What on earth have tutv done !!!!
Seems a reformat can revive your box - but you'll lose everything
anybody know if they are trying to fix this as a few people must be having this prob to be on the topup tv site.

Managed to do it without a reformat too so kept my programmes.
Took 5 attempts so stick with it
Ive tried this all day,, cant seem to get it to work..I hope mine aint faulty
Yes, we had this problem as well. This restart method worked for me first time and retained the library and planned recordings.
Had me worried for a moment though...
Any other ideas?
I cant even get it switch on, to get the menu up and the library..Its a pain..
Got to the library.
Pressed ok to view a programme -- and the box went off.
Pulled plug out. Put it back in. Orange light / all the usual flasing greens etc -- then just the red/orange steady light.
Will not respond to remote.
Noticed it`s still going through the same cycle over and over every few minutes.
Rang Thompson. "Please try this.." and then the line goes dead. Everytime.
Hard drive 50% full! What about my 32 episodes of `Frasier`!!!?
Help!!
.
Oh EDIT.... I have lost all my films on me library too,, and i had loads..:(
But reading through these posts guess it might only be temporary.
What did those idiots at Thompson do to cause this!?

(BTW: Reset didn`t work for me. Pressing those tiny buttons at break-neck speed was beyond me.)

Then u won't lose your library:)
Just imagine if we all just had a Humax, wouldn't life be boring, watching all that TV without any grief.
Keep it up TUTV, this forum needs u?
LMAO
Very good.... made me laugh
Hi
You posted this before the 11:30AM EPG update. I suspect if you try now - series links now work?
Thanks, I'll give it a go!
I'll keep my eyes on the EPG to see if it changes over the next couple of days, certainly it should be giving us 14 days and not just 7.
Thanks.
Pete
The new EPG downloads at approx 11.30 am each day.
If u leave your box on stand by or are watching something at that time, the new EPG should download and your series link should return.
I note that after I did my revert and recover button pushing thing, see above, we ended up with 2.99 on the box. It all runs ok but clearly the newer software would be better...
Q: Will TUTV eventually update us back to 3.59 off air?
Q: Should I try to recover 3.59 which sits in code image 1 according to the menus. If I did that, would I go back to the YLOD lock up we had 10 days ago. Anyone know the answers..
also
Q: Anyone know how you get it to run the other code image anyway?
Tnx
Pete
