HELP !! My Thomson Freeview Recorder is corrupt?

my box wouldnt come out of standby same as it did for a lot of peeps on the same fatal day 3rd may apparently due to a corrupt file download only affecting the thomson machines... topup tv gave out the link below

the above link explains everything and it worked for me, it took ten times to do but i have my box back! only problem is all recordings are gone due to the disk having been reformatted. now have to wait and see if it will record...
