My mutant 2400 seems to have gone bottom-up – it is responding very slowly if at all to the remote which before you ask was charged up this weekend just in case that was the problem and has not recorded any of things I wanted to record.

I tried to reflash it with VIX version 5.0 from version 4 point something and it sat there saying "flashing" for an hour before I turned it off and turned it back on again where it was stuck on broadcasting ITV one for some reason (this is a channel I very rarely look at)

Can anybody suggest what I need to do to it to wake it up or sorted out or is it fit for the bin?
