    check your power cable is plugged securely into your EE TV box

  2.  

    check there’s nothing in-between your remote and EE TV box
  3.  

    turn your EE TV box off at the mains, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on and try using your remote again
  4.  

    check your batteries haven't gone flat – try new ones

This shows your EE TV is starting up. It will turn solid green after 30 seconds. If it continues to flash, your set top box may be trying to update firmware. Leave it for 30 minutes.

If it flashes for more than 30 minutes, reboot your EE TV box. Still not starting? Get in touch >
