Dismay

That all it is id say ! they rushed the flash when it was been manufactured ! you will solve the problem by erasing the present flash and do it yourself ...

Owen7. Its a bad flash! Nothing wrong with the box. This exact thing did my head in when a first got my 500s. Flash a new image with dreamup.

Send it back m8. Had mine a couple of months now and i'm well impressed
TBH Hardly use the cable side anymore.

[owen7]

Dont know if i'm missing something here but what do you mean by connected ALL cable leads from "virgin box" into Openmedia ?

You should have the cable feed into your box and a scart from the OM box into the tv, They're the only connections you need.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, i should have said to make clear, scart lead and cab in lead.

Done that but the picture just goes blank after 10 secs like i said above, very strange i must have been sold a faulty one.

Thought i'd post my findings after a couple of days ownership!

Mine is fcuked connected it upto TV, scart cable and all cable leads from Virgin box into Openmedia box, made sure it's set to Cable not Sat, switched onto Av channel on Tv and this screen comes up for about 10 secs then it goes blank for 15secs then it comes on again.



It just repeats this, i try a press menu or anything on the remote but i get nothing on screen even though the red light flashes on the box

What a load of $hite, i feel like

I've come back to your post / question,

"Story" is still ongoing, but I'll give you a clue..........................I WONT be dealing with this lot again.

Apparently they're great.

PM me for details.

Ok mate, thanks for that, I've re-sent the original e-mail with the "Att Pritz" heading, hopefully he'll be in touch soon, I haven't sent it back yet as I don't have their address, (Not on the website) and it says on their website to contact them first to raise an RMA number,

Sure you'll be looked after. P.M. me if not.

[quote=EAMO 2;254991][QUOTE=The Soulman;

Would there be any members on here connected with Skywonder who I could contact and maybe hurry things along a little as I'm eager to send this unit back and hopfully get my hands on a fully functional box ?,

Not connected with S.W. but will be talking to Pritz on monday & will ask
him to check his mail. You could re-send e-mail & put after title
"Att. Pritz" that should speed it up. I would already have posted that box
to them, or if you're in Manchester area bring it round to them & pick up
replacement[/quote]

E-mailed Skywonder support yesterday afternoon and as of yet I'm still awaiting a reply, it does mention on their website that it can be 24 to 48hrs to receive a reply but I was sort of hoping that they would deal with this quickly as the unit was faulty straight out of the box.

[QUOTE=The Soulman;253995]Ok Wilf, thanks for that.

So guys, has anyone else had anything similar to what I have described happen to their unit, in your guys experience, do the symptoms that I have outlined point to anything imparticular being at fault,

Send it back
I bought 2 units flashed both with Dk 1.1 cable/sat
1unit was fine, had to replace CAP. in other (froze after flash)
The replacement cap. was far superior quality to origin. cap.
Basically you are buying a clone(inferior.quality) but priced reasonably
Better option get a Dream500c +a Dream500s, both are clones but quality
seems OK.& are so compact 2 DREAM not much bigger than 1 O.med.
Big drawback with O.med.; you must unplug unit to change cable/sat
and there is no power switch on unit. Sat/cable change switch is at rear of unit, not always ideal.

mines working perfectly,and for the money its real value,picture quality is spot on,in fact the best box ive had,and i thought my dbox would take some beating,but this just edges it,im very happy with mine
