My freesat HDR 1100S box has died and I wonder if you anyone can help. I was watching a programme when it suddenly went off. The blue light in the box was still on but there was no response from either the remote or the pushbuttons. After removing and replacing the power cable the device remained totally unresponsive and there was no blue or red light showing. The power supply unit green light is on. Is the fault is likely to be terminal or might a fix be possible? Thank you.

Does the box boot up as a non recording box that allows you to watch live TV.

Thanks Graham. The hard drive does not have cables as such so I removed it completely, however the box did not boot up. Having left the power supply connected overnight I did notice that the heat sink was hot so power is getting so far into the box.

There is a UK company that offers a fixed price repair. Last time I looked the service was suspended due to the current lockdown situation.
Looks like they may be back in business
