BT pro box freezing

janda — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 16:44:49 GMT

Am having an absolute nightmare with a BT pro box. Since we too delivery of it, it continually freezes and requires rebooting on most days. BT hit a new low today as the engineer appointment they cancelled at the last minute last Monday and rebooked for this morning was apparently never booked., despite confirming it via email. So discovering there are actually two 7 o'clock in a day was a waste of time. Latest date for an engineer is now next Wednesday. To add insult to injury, when I tried to complain, I was cut off, and the complaint was shut down instantly.

Just want to know if others have had any or all of the above issues? And how were they resolved

Plenty of people will have had similar issues sadly, but if we focus on the box, I suspect the only permanent fix will be a swap unless it is a connection problem in the home.

How is the box connected to the hub? If it isn’t hardwired, can it be, even just to test reliability?

Is the box up to date? Have you restarted your hub since getting BT TV? Have you tried a hard reset on the box?

Yes to all of the above. Cable from hub to box, updated both automatically and via tech help and have factory reset twice in the last week. Last remote factory reset last week last
End one whole day before it froze again. For the record never had this issue with the older boxes, just this pro one

Fair enough, you probably need a new box then, hopefully one of the forum mods will see your plight and reach out to get you sorted. 👍

Can any of you assist @PaddyB, @DavidM or @DanielS ?
