Hi
I have recently bought a Zinwell freeview decoder and it is not working.
When I first pluged it into the tv it came up with a little window with some sattelite info and it said there was no signal (It wasnt plugged in to the dish at the time)
I looked away for a few minutes and found the decoder had swtiched it self off. Now all it does when i plug it in is a few LEDs in it flash (1 red LED at the front, a green LED i can see through the vents and the optical audio out flashes).
None of the buttons on the unit or the remote do anything.
Is it broken or is it just somehting simple that I missed?

Thanks
Aaron
