Default satellite scan system crash


i have managed to reflash my box and i now need to rescan all my satellites. When i try and scan 28.2 i get an error message that the software has encountered a problem and needs to restart.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem is?

I have dm800, enigma 2, gemini 4.20 - i think.

No i think i know what is wrong..you have a plugin or your cccam in the wrong place..i had a similar problem when i first got my dm..
I think when your dm goes to save the channels it crashes

Tell me about it opsmonkey....

Jackpot, I don't think that's the problem, because it crashes as soon as it starts and I have manually scanned a known transponder and that worked.

Is it the satellites.xml file which contains the list of transponders which in turn is used when scanning? If so, can I get an up-to-date version from anywhere?

Opsmonkey, I got it about three months ago from a site called satc*rdsh*r*ing.com - had no end of problems like the tuner being faulty - had to send it back and get it repaired.

It was working all OK up until Tuesday when I tried to scan a satellite can't remember if it was 9.0E or 7.0E.

It is a clone. The Web Interface was saying it was a DM600PVR but when dreamup loaded it says it DM800.

When I reflashed it i used the nfi file:
gemini2-390-dm800-200811291724.nfi (I think it's 4.20 - don't know how the check it)?

After 48 hours of messing about I have finally successfully re-flashed my DM800 (or DM600) clone.

I attempted to re-flash with Gemini 3.90 on multiple occasions but the system just kept crashing at different points. I then attempted to flash with Nabilosat BlackHole but kept getting a "NO CA FOUND" error.

So in a final attempt before I kicked the Dreambox through the window I decided to flash with Gemini 4.10 which seems to have done the trick (touch wood), although a couple of times the motorised dish has refused to move and I have had to restart the system again but that seems to clear the problem. Although as I type after a scan of 0.8W and all the channels being found when I select one the SNR=0 and AGC=0 - see if a restart solves this problem.

So, just a note to thank anyone who has contributed to resolve the issues I have.

Why did you not read the threads about them before buying! I've dealt with these jokers before, luckily I didn't buy a box from them though.
