We are aware of a recent broadcast issue that has resulted in some VAST set top boxes becoming unserviceable. Please perform either a front panel reset or power on/off to the set top box allowing it to reboot and restart itself. This action should recover the operation of the set top box. In the event that the power reset does not work, please contact the appropriate manufacturer.
