WOW!!! After originally plugging my 360 in on Feb 1 and letting it tick for almost two weeks with no luck, I unplugged it on the 14th. I let it rest a day, and then plugged it back in. It ticked again for several days, so I unplugged it again. I let it rest a day, and plugged it back in. I think...

I originally had nothing plugged in. I did plug an antenna in after a few days. I took the cover off when this first started, and the clicking is definitely coming from where the antenna/satellite dish/cable connectors are located.

Hi all. I plugged my box in on Thursday Feb. 1st, and it is STILL ticking!!! It has been almost two weeks. The ticking is supposedly proportional to the length of time the box has been unplugged. I had it unplugged for about 10 months. Does this seem reasonable? I have a buddy at work who has...

Cool... I'll plug it in tomorrow, let in click away, and report back what happens! THANKS!

Thanks for the reply damaged... it does sound like an "electronic" click, and it continues at a definite interval from when it is plugged in until I unplug it. The clicking sort of trails off when I unplug it. I guess I'm screwed...

Hi all. I bought a SIR TS360 about a year ago. It had been about nine months since I had plugged it in, and it was working fine. I dragged it out the other day to set it up, and when I turned it on, it immediately started making a clicking sound. I had an antenna and a pc monitor plugged into...

No Joy Yet!!! So far I have had no luck. :mad: I can see the new menu using the menu and right arrow key sequence. I can even select commands. But I keep getting stonewalled by the 'insert an access card' message. I can only imagine that the unit was unplugged before the card was disabled. I...

Thanks for the responses. I'll try the trick with the menu when I get home tonight. If it does not work, I have seen plenty of cards on ebay for around $5. I'll let you know what happens.

Hi all. This is my first post, so please don't be too hard on me if I mess up too much. OK, I bought a Samsung SIR-TS360 off ebay to use as an over the air receiver. It powers on, searches for a signal and eventually says 'BOOT FAIL.' Now, Samsung has a FAQ that says I can bypass this and set...
