Hello DK :)

Recently I've been having trouble with my Dreambox500C. While watching channels like discovery or dave or whatever, my image on the TV keeps locking up for a few seconds every few minutes.

Running MGcam1.30 as the other cams I've tried don't work at all.

It has only started happening recently, but is starting to get worse now.

Not sure if my keys are updated as I've not really had a look for any more (Nor would I have a clue what I'm looking for anyway).

Tried rebooting the cams, and the box but still nothing.

Other than that I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

If you get the channels ok, the keys are ok, there is only one set of working keys.

MGcamd is known for freezing, I would normally suggest using evocamd which is more stable. But if you say you've tried that and it doesn't work...not sure.

What image are you using? Maybe try flashing another image.

Using DK1.0 at the mo,

Think there is an mgcamd 1.3 out that I'm gonna have a fiddle with. If I use evocam I get the first couple seconds of a channel, and then it freezes totally and doesn't get anything :(

It only seems to do it when I'm watching something interesting too, I feel like mr bean :P
