Is freezing a server issue or hardware issue for my DM800 HD (clone)?

[weedman]

I have a cloned DM 800 HD. It works 100% on FTA channels. No freezing or stuttering at all (except in severe bad weather).

But when I use CCcam or MGCAMD, it works, but it does freeze or even `cut out` completely for a few seconds, up to several minutes.

I have tried using other versions of CCcam, but It doesnt really help.

I have 2 DM 800 HD (Clones), and they both freeze when using CCcam & MGcamd.

Can anyone shed some light on these issues?
- Is this a issue down to my image? (dreamelite, newnigma2 Seems to work fine, EPG, FTA, etc..)
- After installing CCcam, Is there any other configuration I should do?.. to optimize the connection?

Many thanks for any help!

yes mate it could be a server issue. especially if it is fine on FTA channels.

It also could be a connection issue.

its almost always a srvr issue , and not a hardware issue , and not an image or plugin issue either

Been speaking to him through PM mate not sounding like a server issue as it is happening on all ones he tries.

Hi m8
Is your network connection on the DM wired or wireless. Might be a network problem. Duff cat5 cable or if you have a network switch/hub connected between your router and your DM. Worth a look or try a pc or laptop on the same cat5.

I mentioned the same mate seen it been the cat5 cable before, after a lot of head scratching

my 16 way netgear lan switch has collision detection on it , so you can tell if that was the issue , and yes that type of fault will cause these errors , as will these plasma tv,s causing problems with adsl2 etc as well

at times it can always be the last thing you would think of.

The setup in the home needs to be right.

I would go with server. It's hard to find decent freeze free sever. I have seen it many times where when you get a proper server issue is sorted.

Just test the internet connection to be sure...most likely server though

Hey guys, thanks for the tips.

I tried all the basic stuff (replacing ethernet cable, different boxes, images etc..) none of it worked for me.. but this did.

OK.. so basically, I tested all the phone sockets in my house. The socket I was using had alot more noise on it then the other sockets. So i decided to connect my router to my master socket (which has a built in DSL filter, which filter low level noise).

I have definatley seen a improvement in the freezing. It still does freeze (could be down to the wifi, no more hardwired connection ! ), but no where near as often, and also the `cut outs/blackouts` have seemed to have stopped (fingers crossed!).

So basically, This does seem to be an issue with my network in my home. I think I sorted it by switching sockets and installing a inline DSL filter on the master socket.

I have a good internet connection, with great speeds (12mb), but I was still experiencing freezing, After a whole day of diagnosis, I found the (currently) `best` setup for my home.

If you are experiencing freezing. Try the following:
- Make sure you are using your MASTER socket (google it)
- Try a hardwired connection to your box (I am using wifi now, and I do still get freezing - could be the wifi) - Homeplugs... Here I come..
- Make sure the `ring wires` in your master socket are disconnected (again google it).
- If problems still persist, Try installing a inline DSL filter on your master socket.

if u have more than 1 phone u need to add a DSL filter to them to

[garry1312]

Glad to hear you are getting there mate.

Any phone socket you have in your house that has anything connected to it I would add a DSL filter to it mate.

Yes, thats correct, A inline DSL filter does not eliminate the need for filters on your sockets. I have filters on my 2 other sockets which are just used for phones.

I am also facing da same problem...

[ramjet]

the reason I now use a 16 way network switch in the loft is due to some similar noise issues on the adsl , and I was trying to eliminate the issues one by one

so my netgear router was eventually moved to the master socket , and I ran in a 30 metre ethernet cable from fleabay , cut in half and pulled in from loft down the cavity walls to near the master bt socket and kroned onto a twin lan wallplate , the router is plugged into the main master socket and 2 ethernet cables to the twin lan wallplate. this gives me 2 feeds to the 16 way switch ( again from fleabay ) , one is in use and one lies spare or for a second lan switch if required

then ethernet cables run from the loft to various rooms in the cavity walls again , usually ending in lan wallplates let into the plaster walls , and pc or sat boxes are connected , or another smaller lan switch like behind the main tv , feeding the tv , sat boxes , sly plus HD box etc

everything is allocated its own ip , and the first 10 ip,s are left vacant for laptops , kindle or tablets etc to logon using DHCP

this means most stuff is hardwired , the router is next to the main socket , and the house is wired for LAN using the cavity walls for the cable runs , its neat , efficient , colour coded , labelled and allows for easy expansion , easy to change the router if necessary , and adsl filters are fitted where necessary

as I dont own a plasma tv I dont get that particular adsl interference issue associated with them either

and I do not have any DECT phones located near to the router as they cause problems too , which they also can do with satellite and cable boxes causing problems on some transponders

the main noise fault I had was crackling on the main phone line and was fixed when BT OPENREACH changed the wiring from the cabinet to the exchange for a good and quiet pair of wires ( E side changed )

hope that helps others too
