    I am having the same - I am experimenting with different cams at the moment to see if it solves it.

    could be your UCode - change it - if you go thru the menu (blue button on remote) you need to go into settings for UCode

    I find UCode 001A it very stable - but you can experiment.

    whats your dbox model

    as I have experimented with a large selection of images for the 2 main makers of dbox.. and know what ones work best with box type

    is it a sagem ? if so what is the number of flash chips you have

    How did you get your cam files etc for your Commando image? Did you back them up from your Sporster image? If so, which files did you use?

    ok here is what I have discovered after trying out a large selection of images

    Nokia 2x - Sporster 1.7 UK05
    Sagem 2x - Sporster Ultra/1.73
    Sagem 1x - Pacino 2 with MgCamD

    the above images for the boxes hardly freeze and none of the no image on encrypted channel.

    the reason you got the keine system was you flashed a 1x image to a 2x dbox or vice vera - when flashing images please ensure you know the number of flash chips in your box.

    you will have to flash it with a null modem cable installed as well as an ethernet cable

    I've just used an ethernet cable on all other images fine. Why do I need the null modem cable too?

    Also, I'm trying to convert this 1x to a 2x - can it be done?

    if its a squashfs no you cant convert it - if its a jffs then yes you can.

    dont think you can convert that image as its a squashfs root area
