    i have no idea how to ftp


    Connect DM800 to the router with ethernet cable.


    Download this FTP tool DCC-E2.


    Start DCC and click Search, this will scan your network and find the ip address for the DM800.


    Default username to connect to the DM800 will be root and password will be dreambox.


    Click Reconnect and you should get a successful connection.



    Click FTP then go into folders /usr/share/enigma2, here you should see the skin folder you downloaded that is causing the bootloop, Delete this folder and restart the DM800.


    Hopefully now your receiver will restart properly.


    Let us know how you get on buddy.
