3. Keep them pressed for quite some time (30-60 seconds) until you see CLEARING FLASH scrolling on the front panel

Personal settings that will be reset include xtraview, lnb/satcr and remote settings , you will also have to reset your recordings
 
When I still had DSTV I was astounded by the fact that the remote controls were absolutely pathetic. It had almost zero range, and you had to point it directly at the receiver for it to be working... Wonder if it has changed at all over the last few years?
 
Oh great. Another Multichoice piece of hardware that will make you Explora your patience threshold.
