Well ive had this 500s for a while now - it came preflashed and I got it all up and running added sats etc and all was fine but I noticed it was going slow - everything really - channel changing - getting into menus and the epg had changed a bit and it wasnt to my liking !!
So i downloaded PLi3 image and installed it and set about setting it all up again. I got it done but it just wasnt quite right - the signal seemed a bit weak on some sats and after a few weeks it seemed to get slow again?? I tweaked the motor using the onboard steps and got the signal far better so decided to rescan 28.2e and get my channel listing upto date. So far so good - found a nice load of channels - then as i went to view one of the channels the box froze so I had to power cycle it. When it came back on it was asking me for language and time zone and it although it still had the sats/channels all listed on the epg it had lost all my preset sat positions??
I selected a channel on 28.2e knowing the signal should boom in if I am on the right sat position and nothing....... went out and checked the dish and it had gone as far west as it possibly could .........only stopped by the wall from what i could see!! Thought i had better set up the positions again but moving the dish using the dreambox doesnt seem to be finding a signal - I have checked the elevation and that looks ok so in theory it should just be a case of swinging the dish through its arc and hitting the right spot but I am thinking now that perhaps the dish has gone out of its arc if it hit the wall a bit hard??
Anyway to sum up - Its been a right pain so I am going to have a proper look in the day light but I am convinced this image is buggy and thats why its doing strange things to begin with? Can anyone recommend an image that is reliable and works well with cccam also?
