Has anyone else seen this?

PVR80, started crashing on Saturday. Seems fine on every channel except BBC3/CBBC when off the air, where the box crashes. Problem is that when it restarts again it immediately crashes before you can change channel. Ony solution I have found is to reboot with the aerial unplugged, change channel and then plug the aerial in.

Sandy heath transmitter!

Just tried mine and yes it re-booted although by pressing 1 on the remote while it booted I got to channel 111 and was able to go to BBC1 without taking out the aerial.
Preseli Wales transmitter.
This box is the bedroom box so doesn't get used for recording due to the racket the hard drive makes vibrating through a wardrobe shelf !!

See forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1857824 from post #11 onwards - as you're both confirming that the T810 model is also affected, that probably means all Vestel's SD PVRs are with the exception of the newest T835 model running the latest software (displays a blank screen, but doesn't crash). It seems there is a technical bug on BBC3's MHEG off-air info banner and it's annoying that they still haven't fixed it . It's not just Vestel made boxes that are affected - some others are too including TVonics.

Hopefully, the more people that report it to the BBC, the sooner they will fix it.
