How to reset your EE TV Box Pro and Mini

If your EE TV box is freezing, you’re having a problem with your remote control, or you can't access TV channels, try rebooting the box to fix it. If that doesn't work, you can reset it.

Try a reboot

If you haven't already, try rebooting the TV box first. This may fix the problem without having to do a full reset.

  1. Turn your EE TV box off.
  2. Unplug it from the power socket.
  3. Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Plug it back in.
  5. Switch your EE TV box back on.

Your TV Box Pro has two types of reset. One lets you keep recordings, series links and reminders. The other deletes them.

Deleting recordings might be necessary if there's a problem with the TV box's hard drive.

Both resets delete any personal data and sign you out of all your apps.
