I have a 2007 Thompson HD box which has gone dead. The red light is on, and flickers if a button on the box is pressed, but not if you point the remote.
Is this the dreaded HD box death?

Yes stuck in standby is normally psu,it may be worth unpluging they can sometimes just stick.Software download can sometimes kick some life into them,but be prepared for replacement box.
If you have any diy skills then you can get uprated supplies off ebay for about £20
or a second hand box off ebay/gumtree for @£50
or pay sky to send monkey out with refurb box for about £70 unless you can do the "are you going to fix it or am i going to virgin?" scam

Googled a bit more and took the box apart. SOme caps are bulging. Put back in and rang sky. They said to do a full reset, holding left and right buttons and powering up. Nothing.
Moaned and groaned and for £40, an engineer is coming with a new box Thursday. Credit for the missed week watching HD and 3 month warrantee after.
Could be worse!
If I get a choice, should I get a Pace box?
