  Perhaps not. After further reflection, I think it was the creeping of T2 codecs onto T muxes.

  No, you have to obtain a command prompt using the "cli" menu option. "Please select option" means choose from the presented list of options. LBA 0 faults generally means you're stuffed.

  Define "not connected". DHCP is the process of obtaining a "connection" by negotiation with the router. If DHCP is timing out, there is something wrong with the link between your Foxsat and the router. At the physical level, you only have to look at the lights on the Ethernet port to know...

  That is probably an understatement by a considerable margin! The "long disk test" is just the hardware checking itself. By far the longer process will be the file system being checked and corrected (which is where your problem is).
