That's awesome, it works wonderfully! A thousand thanks. However, I do have a question. I had recorded some shows on the hard drive box. I need to reactivate my hard drive but it is asking me to reset the hard drive. Is it possible to recover my recorded shows or not?

Thank you.

The manipulation that no one has taken the trouble to re-describe is as follows on the Freebox Crystal:
- unplug the TV box
- Press and hold the standby button on the remote control and plug the TV box back in at the same time until "Firmware" appears.

A search in the Free portal with the keywords: "TV box reset" gives the same result.

Thank you!

goldencity · Answer

I had the same problem, and despite the operation performed, it persisted.. I then changed the cable (I used an HDMI), and the problem disappeared.

paola · Answer

thank you sooo much! you got me out of a tough spot as well!

Maria-Stella · Answer

A big thank you, Pierre. Without your help, I really don't know how I would have managed. If this can help others: The TV remote had no effect, so I did the same maneuver but pressed the central button on the front of my Freebox TV.

Maria-Stella · Answer

Another thing, I had to reset my hard drive. I did indeed lose my last recording(s) (too bad) but I didn't lose my recording programs. PHEW  ONCE AGAIN, A BIG THANK YOU

Mimileli · Answer

Hello everyone. I've (once again) just encountered this flickering screen issue. It's the third time in over 2 years. Every time I try everything: connections, reset, reboot, etc., and nothing works. Out of sheer frustration, I tell myself "we'll see tomorrow" and I just unplug the power supply (back of the unit) of the reader (freebox V6). The next day, after at least a dozen hours, I simply plug that power supply back in and it starts working like a charm! ;) Yes, it's strange, but there you go! :) :) :)
