DM500c freezing constantly

[Serial45]

Hey guys, I reflashed my box with the digital kaos 1.1 image, got the box working, did a transponder scan for my local area.
I'm on Virgin UK (in a Telewest liverpool area) found all the channels and all working.

The only problem that I am having is the picture is freezing and i'm having to reboot the box to resolve the issue.
A reboot always resolves the problem, it seems to happen on all channels i've tried intermittently.
Puzzled me.

Any help much appreciated.

Also can anybody tell me how I can check which version of evocam I am using from the remote control please?

Also i've tested it with the original box that I subscribe with and that's fine.

Could possibly be either too strong a signal or too weak a signal.

For a weak signal try a slx signal booster which can be purchased from argos for circa ?9 - if its no good take it back. I would try this first as some dreamboxes have pretty poor tuners.

Too strong a signal buy an attenuator (variable) and adjust the setting to see where you get peak performance. Fleabay is probably the cheapest place you can get one.

Just wondering mate can I check in the options menu at all what the signal strength is via the Dreambox?

It should tell you on each channel - on the information bar or press info from memory. I think you will find the ber level will go ultra high when it freezes.

You could try another image but its most likely the tuner not the image.

Could try a signal booster in case the signal is weak.
