        DM800's aren't the greatest at booting first time. If you turn it off at the mains for 2-3 minutes, then try again it should work. If not, you need to reflash your image.

        Let us know if you got it working.

            Hi, I have(for the first time)experienced the following;-
            When I power on my Dm800 PRO HD PVR(clone), the DREAM MULTIMEDIA logo displays for approx 15 seconds, afterwards I have a black blank display on the screen,
            after approx 15 seconds red light starts blinking.
            Worried immediately I switched off the box.
            Remove the tuner, press the SIMCARD firmly to contact
            points on the motherboard, when I power on, it is the
            same scenario- redlight blinking.
            As you do have much experience, please let me know
            what I should do. Is it an IC? What further tests you would suggest?
            Thanks in advance for giviong my query your valued
            consideration.

                Issue with Dreambox 800 Clone (SL84B Bootloader and OPEN PLI Skin)

                Hi,

                I have exactly the same issue as SOUTHPAW, in that I tried to re-flash by DreamBox 800 Clone (SL84B Bootloader and OPEN PLI Skin) and the dreambox screen appears on my TV for about 30 seconds and then goes blank (No Input Detected) and the Red Light On The Box Keeps Blinking..

                I would really appreciate if anyone with more knowledge about dreamboxs could assist.

                I tried to re-flash it, via the IP Address and it reboots after flashing but still comes up with the flashing red light.

                Thanks in advance
