Started off with multi coloured gridlines appearing but the sound being fine so I replaced the HDMI cable, then the box stopped switching on despite repeated attempts and now just shows a pink screen and the message "Please wait" permanently on the front of the box.
The box is not abused, isn't smeared with jam by small children or peed on by animals, isn't beaten up by the hoover and has new HDMI cables regularly. Whilst, when they work, Humax boxes are great, this isn't the first box I've had - generally having to replace them every few years - so any help that would mean I don't have to shell out for another would be gratefully received.
