Can't access hidden service menu

[Ian Manning]

I'm trying to access the hidden service menu as follows:
Menu->Settings->System->System Information...RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE GREEN YELLOW BLUE

...but as soon as I press any of the colour buttons (while looking at the System Information screen) a "No Entry" sign appears on the top right and I can't go any further.
I've tried power cycling but it didn't help.
Any ideas??

That is what should happen.
See https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Hidden_Settings_Menu

and I can't go any further.

As per the wiki instructions what you need to do is 'ignore the "no entry" icon that appears on the screen'.

What could cause you to fail to access the hidden menu, despite pressing the relevant buttons in the right order, is the button press not actually making contact and transmitting anything. Once out of sequence, you have to start again.

Check the PVR button on the handset lights up for each button press.

Ah OK I'm getting it now - with quite a delay (it always popped up instantly before).
Thanks

quite a delay (it always popped up instantly before).

Curious. I don't routinely use the hidden menu, but I just tried it on my HD-FOX and it was near enough instant.

It has been previously documented that there is sometimes a delay.
