I've had a very strange problem on my 500c that I thought I'd investigate last night to try and get to the bottom of it. The symptoms are that the download speed from the dreambox is about 5kps, upload is fine at 200kbs+. I was using a diorj 0.6 image but have also tried PiLite and last night the DW neutrino beta image.
The strangest thing is when no picture is shown the network is fine. If the box is in standby upload/download is as you'd expect, also fine if the box is turned to a non transmitting channel or to radio.
I'm unable to stream or record and the web portal is very slow, task such as uploading an image to the /tmp directory is fine, downloading one to PC takes 10 minutes (or 10 seconds when in standby).
I have re-flashed, flash erased, changed ip, changed images, change lan cables, tried via a crossover cable rather than via router, all to no avail. I beginning to think it's a hardware fault, but can't explain why it's ok when in standby.
The best explaination I can come up with is the NIC gets screwed when the mpeg chip is being used.
I'm pulling my hair out now, anyone got any suggestions?
