Sounds like it's in an update loop-are you sure the NetID was correct? Try getting into e/menu without cable feed in to check

I have tried to get up the eng menu but it wont go in. It as said before just rolls channel numbers & screen says updating do not unplug. Is there any way round this?

No cable feed in and hold up/down buttons. If it starts scrollong keep pressing power button to reset and try a few times-it should eventually go to boot then diag
