  • Thank you TS again. I have found out that this error occurred when I selected in the main menu Information/Tuners in my OpenAtv7.3 image where it said that the recoding item is set to NO and the transcoding entry is set to NO. This is the full description of the information in this sub-menu and after a brief display of this information my receiver partly crashed (was displayed so called blue death) but not froze completely as usual accidently. I don't think this error is related to the problem of my receiver randomly freezing so that I have to investigate further.

    Captain told me this should be fixed on the OpenATV 7.4, so it's an old bug that was fixed, and 7.3 ie EOL. Try to install the 7.4

  • Hello TS, thanks again. I went to the cottage today and after turning on the receiver it worked for several hours fine and then suddenly froze completely again (after about three days in total) and at that moment the receiver temperature was about 62 degrees. There was no crash.log file only a debug.log file (I enabled to create it and attaching him), which covered the time when the receiver froze completely and randomly again, but there seems to be no relevant information to my problem).

    Ok, I see it was on the DM920UHD, using OpenATV 7.3,



  • Hello TS, I have installed the OpenAtv7.4, I will see when or if it freezes...

  • Hello TS,


    after installing OpenAtv7.4 without additional plugins my device works without the freeze in the meantime, but it has passed a very short time so far. But I have found out that there were really a faulty series with defective motherboards in the 920 for sure on the Czech satellite forum Parabola, see links here:

    https://www.parabola.cz/forum/topic-100085/

    https://www.parabola.cz/forum/topic-100085/2/

    that can be translated with Google Chrome for example.


    So I need to wait what happens next but if the device freezes again so I have bought it most likely with a faulthy motherboard. Unfortunately a friend of yours Johnny_B has been unavailable already for a few months (from April of this year) to comment on this matter.

  • We will see, but on the topic they talk as well of the DM900UHD which is the problem.

  • Hello TS,


    the receiver keeps working without freezing for the time being, I only watch IPTV from the list of channels uploaded by the DreamSet 2.4.13 app and I have also tried the Czech plugin ArchiveCZSK 2.4.7 for watching IPTV from the Czech provider O2TV.I haven't installed any other plugins or softcams yet. What do you think about it so far, what does it imply? Does it look like it might not be a defective motherboard? Do you know what revisions (series) of the motherboard were implemented in the DM920? I'm asking because I've read that the defective series with faulty mainboards was supposedly Rev. 0.3, but my board is Rev. 3 according to the information from the OpenAtv7.4 image. I have no idea if it's the same motherboard (revision) or not or if it's just a "display" of the same data by firmware "in a different format", that's without the zero at the beginning?! Thank you and regards...

  • 1. I never seen a DM920UHD defective, only DM900UHD.

    2. You have no issues with new updated software/image/firmware, so I believe it was more due to a corruption of the software you were using.


    You can always buy from the Dubai seller a new motherboard (it costs around 130-150 USD I think, with postage), to keep as spare if you like your box, but I think that with the new firmware you sorted out your problem. Remember also that sometimes such problems (Freezes of the box) could come from buggy drivers... on older images, reason of the updates and new releases of drivers over time from the manufacturer.
