On the DM8000 its on the yellow button, gives you the options for downmix on and off etc and language selection including NAR (thats the service you want to disable).

Are you sure that its 90% and not around 50% ?

Satellites transmit some channels on horizontal polarisation and some on vertical polarisation.
These work on different voltages, 14 and 18 volts. If the power supply has failed on one voltage then you will only get the channels that are being transmitted on the voltage that is still working. The other thing it could be is the LNB failing on one polarisation but I would think its more likley to be the power supply.

If you go to one of the channels that are working then go to menu and then infomation then service then multiplex it will show you all the details for that channel including whether its polarisation is horizontal or vertical.
Then go to a channel that you are no longer receiving and do the same and see if its the same or different polarisation. If its the same then I dont know what to suggest but if its different you need to get the power supply and/or LNB checked.

Cant think of anything that would cause that. Usually things start OK then have problems after they warm up if its a heating issue ???

Have you tried updating enigma 2 from the update software part of the menu to get the latest drivers as the information at the top of the page has been saying for the last couple of weeks ?

Unfortunately, there has been a problem in all current software version of enigma2 which resulted in freezing boxes since 2011/05/01. DMM has released updated drivers which can be installed using the update mechanism in enigma2. Please update your software!

Can you get to the factory reset option and try that
That way it should allow you to get a basic setup going so you can check your tuner/hardware and then flash whatever image you prefer.

If you want to start a new thread in this section just go to the english hardware main page and theres a New Thread tab at the top right hand side to click on.
Same for any other place you want to start a thread just go to the main page for that particular subject.

The 7020 is enignma 1. I dont think you can install enigma 2 on it.

That article has this bit

High Speed HDMI 1.3 cables can support all HDMI 1.4 features except for the HDMI Ethernet Channel

Theres a new box coming out in january by Optoma that will allow some of their 720p projectors to display 3D from broadcast Sky UK and Blu Ray 3D from sonys PS3. For some reason this box has 2 x 1.4 HDMI inputs but outputs the signal through a single HDMI 1.3 connection. Optomas current range of 3D capable projectors that will work with this only have HDMI 1.3 connections.
This is the box that they are selling in january 2011 : Optoma 3D box

HDMI 1.3 will do 3D video, it doesnt have the bandwith to carry the true HD DTS audio or include the ethernet part of HDMI 1.4. As most people would want to use a seperate amp for their audio that shouldnt cause a problem. I have recorded a few programs on my DM 8000 from the UK Sky 3D channel but as I havent got a 3D display I can only see the split screen showing the pictures side by side for now. Hopefully by the time my current TV fails the price of 3D TVs will be more affordable and I will have a supply of 3D material ready to watch on it

I am pleased that you managed to work out what the problem was at last, its handy to know for future reference

The only files you need to transfer to the laptop to play on it and to burn to DVD are the .ts ones. You dont need the EIT or EPL ones, they must be something to do with how the dreambox identifies and arranges them.

You should be able to play the .ts files on your laptop with most media players, I tend to use VLC as I like the interface.

If you have Nero then you can use Nero Vision to burn the .ts file or files to make a DVD that will play on a stand alone TV DVD player, other burning programs will also do it.

The reason you are getting the .ts + .ts.001 + .ts.002 files is that your dreambox is limiting the size to a maximum of 1gig. On my TM9100 there was an option to change the maximum recording size so that I could have a single .ts file for each film. My DM 8000 just records as a single .ts file. I dont know if you have the option on the DM 7020 to allow it to make bigger .ts files or not but if it does you could increase the limit so that you would have a single file to transfer, view and burn. If not it doesnt matter as Nero Vision will add the files together and make a DVD from them.

Has nobody any ideas about why the connection is timing out when trying to open the movie folder

I am afraid that has got me beat at the moment

I cant see any reason why it should time out before listing the contents of the movie folder and allowing you to transfer them to your pc.

Can anyone else think of why this is happening ?

Thats great, we have it connecting now.

The Local site on the left is your computer, you can browse through the folders in the top part for quick access and that folder and its subfolders will show in the main left window. The Remote site on the right is your Dreambox.

In the right hand window, the lower one, you have all those folders that you listed.

Double click on the folder called HDD to open it, you will see a mesage at the top of the screen saying retrieving directory listing, this could take a few seconds to open.

Now in the folder you will see a few more subfolders and logfiles. One of the folders is called Movies. Double click on that to open it.

All your recordings are listed in there.

Each recording will have 4 files but the one you want is the largest file and will have the file extension .ts with nothing after it.

In the left hand window find the folder or make a new one, on your pc where you want to copy the film to and have that folder opened.

Then just drag the .ts file from the right window to the left one.

There is a small window at the bottom of filezilla which will show the transfer starting and its progress and how long it will take.

Once its transferred you can close filezilla or transfer another recording.

Hope that explains it all clearly enough but if you have any questions just ask again

You said that the LAN IP of the dreambox was 10.0.0.7 yet today its 192.168.1.34

Did you connect an ethernet cable directly from your laptop to the DM, without using the router on monday as the 10 IP range is sometimes used by ad hoc networking but if you did that then you would need a crossed ethernet cable not a straight or patch cable.

Somethings changed since your last pm to me as you are now getting the IP address showing in the front panel so we are getting somewhere slowly but surely.

I think the problem has to be the user name and password not being correct.

I suggest you download DCC from this page and that should test your connection and show if your password and usernames are correct.

http://www.bernyr.de/

I didnt pick up on the port number being incorrect. FTP uses port 21, port 80 is for HTTP.

I think its probably because you have used the quick connect rather than set up the connection using the site manager first. Depending on which server type and logon you need to have something in front of the IP address when you do it that way.

Go to File and then open the Site Manager, click on My Sites in the left window then on New Site.

Put your IP address in host, port 80 although that doesnt seem to matter if using standard FTP, Server Type should be FTP- File Transfer Protocol and Logon Type change to Normal, default is anonymous. ( This being set to anonymous is almost certainly why its not working )

Put your user and password in and click connect and that should work fine this time.

I usually right click on the new site and rename it as whichever box I am setting up but if you only have the one box you can leave it as New Site.

Once the info is in there you can then use the quick connect boxes but you need to put ftp://your.box.lan.ip as the host, if using that method.

As I have a couple of boxes connected and sometimes do them for other people, I find it quicker to click on the drop down arrow just below File and that opens and shows me a selection of the names of the sites I have set up so I can just click on the name of the one I want and it connects.

Hope thats sorts it out OK, if not get back to me

I have never used a MAC but assuming it can use an FTP client program the same way that a windows pc can then you should be able to FTP the files across.

On windows I use Filezilla FTP client which is a free one and works well between linux boxes and windows pcs.

I just had a look on their site and they do a MAC version so it should work.

http://filezilla-project.org/

Just install and add your DMs LAN IP address and username and password into the settings and when you connect the computer shows in the left window and the DM in the right window. Go the the folder on your computer where you want to save the files to in the left window and go to the hard drive in the right window and drag the files across.

Thats all there is to it.

If you have any problems post again
