    DM800HD freezing up

    Hi

    it seems like one thing after another with my dm800hd clone - I changed the HDMI lead as screen was going pink and losing sound - this seems to have fixed this issue.

    now the box is freezing and I am having to unplug at the wall as can't turn box off using standby button.

    I have only had box a month - should this be expected - box goes off after a few hours or even sooner

    HELP!!

      for the switch off at wall issue:
      telnet to the box
      issue command
      killall -9 enigma2

      this will reload the box a lot quicker (assuming remote is unresponsive - else long press power, then select restart gui)

        try and go easy on the plugins you install , also look at the size of the image you use , the smaller the size the more free memory (pli images are nice an lite)

        if your in the uk , dreamboxuk do a nice image with channel settings downloadable for your specific region , obviously ensure you flash the correct image for your sim type, provided its a clone that is
        good luck

            Found out the screen was green because of overheating so got a fan unit and changed image to OPENPLI - seems to be working fine now
