Virgin Set top box

[Saleen836]

Mine has just died!
I say died, it currently has a green screen showing with 'the DVR has detected a serious problem.....blah blah blah'
did a quick google and it looks like I have what is known as the green screen of death, apparently the hard drive has failed.
Says it is trying to repair itself and could take 3 hours, so looks like a cal to Virgin tomorrow to then wait days for an engineer unless I can get them to just send me out a new box

I have had a couple of youview boxes die due to failed hard drives. Seems to be a common thing with this type of box.

It appears to have 'fixed' itself, for how long though I have no idea
