After 3 month of my dm500s doing my head in with the picture breaking up very bad, i thought id try a fan to cool it down.
The fan is for a dm800 but i got it going through another usb. It works a treat, cools the box down and now it works great.
Has any one else found their dm500 starts playing up after its been on for 15 mins?
Solved picture breaking up!

well m8 i know how it feels having a prob sorted, but i really dont think, a 500s needs to be cooled.
we are here in spain, having now 38 grad in the shadow, and i look after many dreamboxes and non causes probs because of overheating.
so there must be something else or your box has a bug.
sorry thats my opinion.

Hi *** pirate, i dont no for sure it was over heating, all i can say is it works fine with a fan under under the box and doesnt work well without it.
The box has had this problem since i bought it from new. Maybe just a dodgy box. At least i can watch the footy without having to keep switching it off for 10mins then back on again.:snicker: -
well all a fan would do is cool the tuner/box . so i guess it is overheat prob you have
