It could be on its way out but maybe worth a shot at re-flashing the image to a more current one
Hi All, Can anyone advise please? in recent weeks the DM 800hd pvr (now 4 years old) does not display picture on TV. Does not display the boot up image or channel. Itthen re-appears a few hours later or sometimes days later! Ithought it might be faulty tuner, I have changed tuner but it still on someoccasions remains black no picture then re-appears. Is the receiver shot?

Ok, thanks, The screen / TV is still black, no picture. I can see channel info on front lcd. Can you recommend a flash file? I think the box has bootloader 72 (72 appears on LCD screen in early boot sequence. The box info is - Dreambox: DM 800, Release: 0470, Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-5.1-brcmstb-dm800, image: 02.09.2010, emigma: master. Does any of this info help with selecting an appropriate flash file? Thanks.
You would require the Sim information when the box boots up which is generally the first thing that shows on the LCD screen
Hi digicon, the sim is 2.01, I have looked at the sim inside the box.
Plenty of images here in the download section for your receiver make sure you get the correct Sim type first: Images - Downloads - Digital Kaos
Thanks, I 'll have a look, am I looking specifically for sim 2.01 ? and not sim 2, or sim 2.1 etc.? Thanks.
Just try any image that is sim2 or sim 2.01. Don't try any older sim 1 images or ferrrari images, Andy.

Have you checked leads?
Also faulty tuner would not stop a picture.
Try new leads/dif tv etc and report back. Also what image is on the box now, can you ftp into the box?

Hi Guys, Thanks for the advise, I have not been able to make a connection to the box via the I.P. until the last minutes. the box would not accept the root and password via the I.P. address. I have reset the password in the box and can now can access to flash a new file. There are no loose connections or cables, I have checked everything several times. The boxes just blacks out no picture without warning and a reboot does not bring it back. I will now try a new image, Can you point me to the exact image I should use based on the current set up. current set up is; bootloader 72, Dreambox: DM 800, Release: 0470, Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-5.1-brcmstb-dm800, image: 02.09.2010, emigma: master, sim 2.01. Thanks much appreciated.
Hi Guys, The box is confirmed as U/S. The box boots up , front oeld displays channel info and the channel audio can be heard. But No picture / video. The picture came back for few hours and then just blacked out, the channel audio continued. Thanks.
