Can you tell me whether your box has a metal "shield" thats soldered over the top of the tuner boxes?

I got a 4001 a while back that had this, perhaps heat "shield" in place over the tops of the tuners, why I would not know, but after removal, my box stopped randomly freezing/rebooting.

I assume therefore it was a heat issue as the box is also less hot in general now, than it was before removal, and its still working today!

I assume that i will have to open the box but where abouts will the tuners be?

When you take the lid off, the tuners will be situated near where you connect your cable feed to the box, but inside of the box rather than outside, like the feed connection.

They will be two large silver rectangular boxes, they usually sit directly next to each other on the PCB.

If you need any help, lemme know, I'll walk you through it.

(Post here rather than by PM though please )

Thanks for the advice...ill give it a go.

So more than likely its the overheating and not Virgin screwing me over?

Provided you have definately cut TB, there is literally no way for Virmin to know what you are doing, the box is "invisible" without talkback, as this removes its callback (phone-home) abilities.
