Set Top Box Not Working
I received the newly installed fibre and router which are working great including all my streaming services including Telus tv+… the new set box boots and goes straight to the “android tv” where it s...
SOLVED
1. HDMI to smart tv that was wirelessly connected to the Telus router
2. Plugged in power and immediately held in the reboot button at the back
3. Flashed Telus logo then went blank screen so released reboot button and it brought up the internal Android TV screen
4. Scrolled down to factory reset and did that
5. Still had to do a couple of resets as per step 2
6. Finally got the Telus logo, released reset, followed by blank screen then up popped the normal Telus TV setup screen
7. Working fine now on a couple of different tv’s to make double sure
8. It was all trial and error and there was a small yellow sticker with an R on the back so I’m wondering if it was a refurbished box that needed the cache cleared out

Official Support TeamHi there glwperson - Can you please turn the box around and with a paper clip or something small, please press and hold the factory reset button that is labeled for about 30 seconds - all while the box is plugged in to power and everything.
Please let us know if that helps
Switching to other inputs then back to the TV-217 connected HDMI sometimes produces the Telus logo flash for a few seconds, then back to black. Returning to this HDMI input later, Google TV displays that it "Was previously connected" even though no video other than the logo ever displayed. My guess is possible Google security update? ... blocking connection as part of the HDMI handshake protocol? A Hisense Android TV unit that functioned fine for 18months with this box, suddenly incompatible just with this input source, followed by a (desperate) replacement Hisense GoogleTV replacement with identical symptoms suggests a software glitch to me. But then I don't sell TV service nor TVs so it shouldn't be my responsibility...should it?
