I'm starting to get VERY frustrated with this Twin. I've now managed to brick the device for the 2nd time, and all I did was reboot it to fix a freeze up!
I'm running the 23/03/2012 image, and it's been a LOT better than the 08/03/2012 image that it came with out of the box. However, I'm still having regular freeze ups. Most times, the freeze ups comprise of the video freezing on a still Image of a given program, even though the audio stream is working ok. I can sometimes even change channels, and the audio is from the new channel, but the picture is still frozen at the same still image. A funny occurrence was yesterday, when I was able to flick over to ITV2 HD and the picture would come back, but then when I flicked to any other channel, the picture will lock again. This only happened the once though. Usually, a full reboot is required.
Anyway, to resolve the issue, an Enigma reboot from the Menu won't work, and only sometimes will a full reboot for the Menu work. This last time though, *nothing* worked, so I resorted to a reboot from the power button. This time, I got a green screen. Not to worry, this has happened before, and has always been because the HDD has been locked up from having to force a reboot whilst the drive was being accessed. So, I disconnect the drive and now I can get to the "loading..." screen, but no further! Usually, the display will show the firmware date, then "TM-Twin-OE", then "checking key...", and then the percentage loaded, etc. But this time it wont get past "TM-Twin-OE". In short, it just won't boot up!
So, tomorrow I'm gonna try and update to 29/03/2012 in the hope that I'll get to a more stable box that doesn't need a daily reboot. The box has already failed the WAF, and it's not fr off driving me nuts, now! Almost wishing I'd just bought a regular Sky+ HD box!
