Power it off at the plug, then hold backup and select on the digibox itself while plugging it back in, and keep them held until a message appears on your screen.
Should sort it out.

Sounds like your decoder is going a bit fucked mate. Don't tell me, it's an Amstrad. I've had two of these Amstrad decoders of Sky and they both went fucked so in the end i just got Freeview. Got a Pace decoder and it works great. I was paying almost £40 a month and hardly watching anything so i just got rid.

when that happens,
reset everything from the mains,
take the chip out and clean it,
turn everything back on after a few minutes.
and usually it comes back

Card rollout should be complete by now, i had mine but never put it in, then it come up on the screen 'to continue using the service you must use your new viewing card' or some rubbish like that.

The reason for issuing new cards was because so many people were beginning to hack the viewing cards
