Steve Last Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have a Grundig Digibox which has the numbers GDS 310/2 and GAF 9700, it abruptly just stopped responding to its remote control after some power interruptions due to thunderstorms. It is NOT the batteries, which are OK! Is there any sort of reset procedure for these things to re-boot it? Don't have any manual as it was a gift and about 6 years old anyway.

Tim Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Have you tried restarting the box? It's always the first thing to try - and the simplest. I'm not familiar with the numbers you quote, but I'm assuming we're talking about a Sky digibox.Regards - Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If it is a Sky Digibox ( Edit have just checked it is a sky digibox) did you set up the remote to operate your TV - If so does the TV still respond to the remote ?Do you have any neighbours or friends with Sky so you can check your remote on their box and vice versa ?Does the box respond OK to the buttons on the front ?If you post where in France you are you may find somebody with a spare remote but it sounds like the box rather than the remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Last Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 Thanks for the quick suggestions! Yes it is a Sky digibox. The TV has its own remote and that's OK. No neighbours with a similar box (in fact no close British neighbours!). Initially it wasn't responding to the buttons on the front either, but I tried power off and restart, and now it does - will maybe try leaving it off longer. I'm on northern edge of Vaucluse (84) near Vaison la Romaine. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 You can set up the Sky remote to control the TV as well which would have given you a check on whether the remote had failed or the digibox but Ithink I would leave it on for a while and see what developes.

AnOther Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have a few spare Sky remotes if yours proves dud, PM me if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Last Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Apologies for not having replied to your kind offer - just after you sent it I got hit by a nasty virus problem and have had to set up afresh now back in the UK. How much do you want for a replacement remote? Best regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
