And that you have ensured other devices in your home are working OK over your broadband? (best to check with devices other than mobile phones, so you don’t get tangled up with working cellular).
The next thing is to find some other working device that you have, that does use, or can use, an Ethernet connection (e.g. a laptop with its WiFi turned off), take the Ethernet cable out of the YouView box, plug it into that device.
If it connects OK, then you have truly isolated the problem to the YouView box. But if it doesn’t, then your problem is not with the YouView box, but in the signal path back to, and possibly through, your router.
If you have isolated it to the YouView box, though, then there is one more thing we can suggest; but if it doesn’t work, your box may not recover from it.
So before that, what make and model of YouView box have you got? And is it on subscription with BT or TalkTalk (depending on the model)?
If it is, your next port of call should be whoever you have the subscription with.
We recommend Option 2 in the first place, as this will preserve your recordings, if you have a recording box. (For a non-recording box, go straight for option 5). Follow the instructions for your particular box, as they vary from model to model.
But do be aware that if the box doesn’t come back connected OK, it will be stuck like it 😢

Model DN360T Internet worked fine ethernet to laptop. TV is working through the box, but guess that's because via aerial.? What do I know? I have switched off, reconnected, turned box off from front and back buttons. I have no guide preview and no apps. Should I nerve myself to ring talktalk? 😞

Your aerial connection is OK, your tuners are OK, your HDMI Out to your TV is OK. I’ll guess your EPG looks pretty OK also.
Not having the internet connection means no apps, and no images on the thumbnails on the menu screen, which is what you describe.
It also means there is a little less information about each programme on the EPG, since while most of it comes over the TV aerial, YouView augment it with some extra info over the internet. You’d be hard put to notice this, though.

So I presume you have worked methodically through:-

But if not, or you exhaust their resources, the option not covered by the YVM102 Help is Maintenance Mode:-

Much better service than talktalking to someone.
Mention in your post all that you have tried to get the box working too, to save time
What do you know?
Enough to be correct here, anyway.
