    Do you see a boot screen?
    Something like " Gemini" or something similar before it goes to rte 1

    Try flashing again Cinty using GCScotts` image and tutorial.
    Maybe something has gone wrong with the original image.

    How are you flashing?

    Dreamup or flash Wizard?

    Hi Dazzap

    I have been very grateful for all the advice I've been given on this site and quickly acquired (as you seem to have done) the appropriate equipment and skills (?) to keep my dreambox afloat. I have required little assistance since I downloaded the "Bigmaq" toolbar which affords access to all the downloads you will need. Good luck!

    Cinty, your box seems to be working as it is scanning and finding channels. It has got to be something that you are missing whilst flashing it. I`ve been here myself. All I can suggest is trying again following the tutorial carefully or maybe flash with a null modem using DreamUp. That`s the way the makers recommend. Good luck.

    Dazzap, Don`t flash erase, it doesn`t work this way.

    Cinty you can`t flash via null modem using Dream Wizard it has to be Dream Up.

    Cinty and Dazzup
    The program automatically flash erases your current image because the box does not have enough internal ram for 2 images.

    Thanks to Chris for the info.
