DM500HD - video disappears after a few hours

  • Hi


    Last month I got a new DM500HD to replace my 7000S as part of a HD upgrade.


    I am still having problems with the issue I reported under:
    DM500 HD - after hours of operation loses video or locks up


    What happens is that after a few hours operation, the decocded video is no longer seen on the TV. I hear the TV sound, I can see all the Dreambox generated menus. This is true for both live broadcasts and recordings. I need to Restart the Dreambox to get the video back.


    I first had the problem with firmware 2.8.4, and still have it (probably worse) with 3.0.1. I had increased the fan to about 3300 rpm, and the temperature is reported as 32C.


    (I also have a less frequent problem with the dreambox locking up completely, so ti no longer responds to the remote, and I need to power it off and on).


    Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions ?
