HD PVR 2P - STBY

HD PVR 2P displays "stby" on the front panel.

On rest, it boots for a while but always gets stuck on the "stdy" message. The TV image remains black.

Any advice to fix or is it time for a new decoder?

hmm, have you tried a flash reset?

Procedure
o Reboot the decoder (either by removing power or by pressing and holding the Reset button on the front panel for 5 seconds).
o The front panel will display “d:L” then “1:0” (zero character is animated or spinning)
o As soon as the “1:0” display appears, immediately press and hold:
o On PACE 4 Tuner The GUIDE key
o On PACE 2 Tuner The TV/AUDIO key
Wait (approximately 35 secs) until the message “Erase Flash Files” appears on the front panel LED display and then release the key.
Note: The user has approximately 10 seconds to press and hold the Guide key from the moment the spinning Zero appears on the front panel.
Following the Flash Erase process, the decoder will restart, then rescan without the need for user intervention and operate as normal.
What will be deleted?
The customer will lose:
o All scheduled recordings including series recordings
o All reminders
o All favourites
o All service lists will be deleted so there will be a rescan at start up
What will be kept?
o All network settings including SMATV or SATCR installations
o All XtraView settings
o All PG settings
o All Personalise and Preference settings
o All items in the playlist
o All downloaded BoxOffice and DSTV OnDemand titles
 
Thanks for the advice given, bit it turns out a stray tennis ball knocked the LNB out of alignment.
 
The flashing of the pVr did not help my stby it went back to stby and now I’ve lost all the recordings so not a good solution to flash the hard drive. Lightening struck close by and when I was waiting for the unit to reboot I pressed the power button in the remote. That’s when it went to stby. Taking it in to a service centre now.
