tou should do jtag and program the box ,if the power supply is ok.
Thanks for the replies Guys.
Mckee, I use a 256m swap file every time.
Darius, are you saying I should reprog box with J tag?
I do notice if I leave the box in standby (Red LED), a while later the box turns itself on (Green LED) and crashes. Does this indicate anything?

hi,it is genuine? if yes try to put the last original firmwaire do somme test then put the image you want. hope help.
Thanks rami, I am starting to think maybe power supply is to blame?
My other thought is to download a backup image from the forum. Maybe I could find one with the minimum files and plugins.
This may help, do you Guys think it could?
Try putting this image on.

No plugins, just basic image and let us know how you get on.
You will have problems if it is a clone.
Thanks codar. I will give it a go.
Does this have the minimum extras?
Hi Codar, I have installed it and it is just running with my CI cam in the slot and not frozen yet.
Am I best not updating the software from the menu, could this cause a problem?
Also, am I OK just to install a softcam only?
Thanks.

press BLUE- YELLOW and it will tell you how much flash/ram is in use..
to freeup some ram TELNET into the solo and send command
QuoteFREE
then
Quoteecho 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
setup a usb stick and use swapfile and flashexpander to give you more space..
install [DOWNLOAD] Linuxsat-Support-Addons so you have access to all that you need incl. cams..
Thanks for the reply cazuela,
I am using an external HDD. Can I set up swap file in that?
The other problem I have is that the Hard drive will not go into standby.
It just keeps on spinning. If you can suggest anything to help there please?
I have just looked and system says I am using 94% ram, wow.
Can I reduce this please?
Setting up the swap file on your external HDD will help reduce the ram being used buddy, if you have picons installed on your HDD this can cause the drive to keep spinning if your channel hopping a lot..... with BH if you goto menu/setup/system/hard drive/hard drive setup in here you can change how many minutes before the drive goes into standby.
Thanks mckee, I have changed this setting even to 30 seconds and it keeps spinning.
i notice this did not happen with Vix image.
I have just looked and system says I am using 94% ram, wow.
Can I reduce this please?
In POST#11 I have already explained how to free up some ram... telnet
Quoteecho 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
btw ..stopping /starting a HDD every 30 secs is not very healthy for it.....
Thanks cazuela but I was just seeing if it made 30 secs made any difference but HDD still spins anyway. I have set i back to 10 mins now.
Sorry, but will that command in telnet help if I have already set swap file of 256M?
I have installed ram expanding software but cannot find it in the munus.
Regards.
need help how to use flashexpander
you´ll find it in the plugins menu..
Its all in the searchbar buddy...
Thanks Cazuela I found it now. Spent too long doing this, mind gets boggled.
Can I expand the flash over 256M with this?
Been a long time since I´ve used it buddy so I would just go by whatever the threads suggest...
remember to install our addons which I posted in post #11 ..from there you have access to everything..
