No m8, no hdd drive installed yet,( how to ? ) opened it today and it's deffo the fan, I always do leave it on standby, it's just since the power cut yesterday, so the fan runs constantly even in standby ?. Was a little worried leaving it on with that noise, but once it's running a while it seems not too bad, anyway will pick up a new fan somewhere soon and replace.

I would be tempted to open it up and check the fan is still intact & working mate.
It's still intact and working Ten, doesn't seem to be anything obstructing it either, but still noisey on start up, think I'll try a new fan, or leave it on 24/7....does anybody do this ?

I'll have a go 2moro Ten and report, thank's.

Hey guy's, don't wanna be starting threads everywhere, so as it's same image and box, here.
Had a power cut today when I was out, I always leave my box in standby mode and on a fta channel when I'm not using it. When the power came back, I turned on the box, waited the 30 ish seconds, the box powered up with a grinding noise that frightened the shite outta me, then it stopped, went through the usual boot process and it took about another 1-2 mins after that for the picture to come on. To say I was worried is an understatement. I can only assume the noise was the fan. Anyway, just to forewarn ppl should they have a power cut. Mods please move if it's not relevant here.

Tanx for the replies guy's. That's one more thing I don't have to mess with then. My box is a little warm but no worse than my 500 was and I'm assuming because it has the rev M tuner it's a newer model and there for no need to worry bout it getting too hot either. I wont worry bout a new image for a while yet, but when I do, will post back. Also will send my m8's over here, the site's a credit to admin and mods !!

Right ppl, I'm still messing around with this image, was gonna tri Open pli cause I still can't connect to the net with this image. But, I used the d/l Ten posted, "Tunisiasat d/l manager" and it works fine, also, I've got Rytec epg working on a 2gb usb stick, so please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this all I need, I mean no need to change images, cause it is a cool image ?. I was planning on adding an old lappy hdd, it's only 60gb, just for the odd movie, but have been told it makes the dm run hotter?. What is the swap file mainly used for as I see some ppl use it for epg ?.
Sorry for all the ?s, but I'm sure the answers will help me and other ppl understand better. Thanks again guy's.

Hey ppl, as the title say's, dcc is freezing up when I connect to my dm800hd, have tried a few different versions of dcc, to no avail. Can't even close it down, telnet disconnects and it freezes. Anybody had similar issues. Could it be my lappy, but other functions work on my lappy when dcc freezes.

Why 2.1.4 latest is 2.2.1, does the box pass test in coms setup
Yeah it passes. I was using 2.1.4 on my 500 is the only reason I used it, but now I'm thinking this is why I'm getting " connection failed " all the time, I don't want to mess with it too much, cause I know feck all about the 800, I think I should install 2.2.1 and give it a crack, what ye reckon ?
-
Just wondering ppl, I d/loaded cccam 2.1.4 full, this wouldn't be the reason why I'm having trouble connecting my box to the net ? shot in the dark.
-
Thanks again lads, this time when I used "passwd" it worked no problem.
-
Is it set up the same as a 500 ?
-
when I open telnet this is already there, root@800# , thought it was meant to be a total black screen ? and when I enter passwd dcc freezes up on me.
-
It's the same on the 800 as is on the 500, so I would assume it's the tv ( piece o crap anyway ), new one 2moro. I'll leave ye alone for now lol.
Great forum by the way, ppl ready to help at a minutes notice, a credit to ye all. Thank's to ddaddy, Ten, and DaiC1. -
Happy days, tunisia sat addons manager worked, watching sly now. Only, can't see colour buttons at bottom of the tv, screen looks stretched. So I could have an easy option to do something, but can't see it.
-
Thanks very much ddaddy
-
Think I'll try what Ten suggested, but where do I ftp that file to ?
-
did that, rebooted and connection still fails, but at least I can see it in etc lol
-
no, I thought it was meant to go into tmp and reboot?
-
connection failed again, in d/l manager, everything I press returns with connection failed.
