my uncle got a dm800hd from some guy, who has no idea about them, just a saleperson and someone who doesnt give a shit once they sell the box...

since he got it, the box has crashed and rebooted every day somedays when doing the epd update other days just when watching a channel

is it best to just reflash it

at the moment it is running Black Hole .. not sure what tuner or bootloader it has.. will find out and post it here......
 
definitely try another flash mate, if you flash another image and its still doing the same thing then you know its more the hardware side thats the problem, hopefully not though, i would recommend unofficial dream elite image as i find it great and very stable!

its a clone as far as I know

its running BH 0.12

tried to get my uncle to tell me the BL version by unplugging box, holding down power button and plugging cable back in.. no luck.. think he is doing it wrong and I cant be arsed going down to his place tonite..

from the info he gave me, it crashes when ever an epg update happens, also crashes thru the day, hd glitches alot (the guy installed a inline amp as well) the tuner is most likely one of the earlier shit ones..

I would ask him to run telnet and do a ipkg list | grep second but dont think he would know how to connect via telnet

I did a mates DM800HD last month with BL 75 and latest tuner and rytec epg and just called him and he said box has been solid and never crashed.. did say fan is shit and makes alot of noise, so he has go one of them base with fans on

will have to pop over tomorrow and get the more info before I can proceed to reflash
 
ok try reflash it again with different image not Gemini though. and tbh its not worth touching the clones coz its down to luck if you have clone box. thats my own experiance.
