Guys/Girls

Does anyone know of problems with the Dreambox 800 pvr.

I have just installed, let me add at great expense one of these boxes, and what i'm getting after a few hours noises and hissing,and also the unit is getting very warm,before you reply its not going on fire. I think it may be the tunor.?

I'm useing c:line,its working ok, took a while to sort out but got there, until this problem, just to add i pulled the plug on the unit, and then after about 20 mins plugged back in and its working again, would like to know if anyone else had problems or similar.

 

have you got a HD plugged into it? is it an internal one? Have heard of some dreams overheating when a HD is installed inside them

 

Mickah, Yes the HD is atttached to the TV, did not think that would cause much trouble.
I will disconnect to-night and see how it works, its a nice machine very good reception, haven't quite got the hang of the Bouquets, EPG not great, could be the Enigma image, maybe it needs a new flash? there was no manual with the box when it arrived, printed one of the net, which just gives you basic setup. I droped a pm to Piopat, he like yourself,always comes up a fix. By the way that was a bit grovelling.
I'm also using the plugs (wireless) great idea, saves having the kids falling over the cable from the hall to the sitting room, got two 79.99 in maps, got another two on the net 50.00, same quality.

 

if the HD is attached inside the DM, this may be causing it, I have seen a few remarks about overheating when a HD is put inside the actual unit, if the HD is attached externally, then it may be an issue with the actual box and cooling,

 

I had a problem with the fan hitting of something inside the box that made a noise but i moved the box around and all was ok

 

nowt worse than a noisy box............cough.......

 

hot box better than a cold one

 

is the box bent (not gay) on the outside anywhere

 

Has a turn at the top, only joking, box gets very hot, with the red hot mummmys.
I was abel to turn the box sideways, took the hiss out of it.

Took the HD cable out, only had it on for about 2 hours, the box was a bit waarrrm.
I will try again to-nite. cough, blurt,.

 

I think when you were asked about the HD being installed internally it was referring to the Hard Drive (not the HDmi lead).

If the hard drive is installed inside the box the heat coming from that along with the heat being generated by the box may cause overheating. If a hard drive is installed internally it also probably affects airflow within the box and contributes to overheating by merely being there.

 

yip, thats what i was asking, if the hard drive is installed internally this may or can cause overheating on these boxs, if it is, connect it externally

 

Beg your parsups guys, I thought ye were talking about the cable.

There is no hard drive connected with the box, I would have to get that on it own.

On another note, shold I change the Image in order to get better EPG?

 

i w0uld be more worried about it overheating than a better EPG at this stage, if you haven't connected a HD internally, then there is something not right, not sure if there is a fan on one of these that cools the processor, if there is, it may be broke, but check it firstly

 

nabilo 201 image sim 201 i say thats what your box is??? Has 7 day epg

 

what rooney means to ask is what bootloader version is the clone you have. the best image on the market is dream elite. sadly dream elite server is now dead. but i still recommend it. you will have to manually install plugins but it is by far the best on the market. as for issues with heat and noise. get a screwdriver out. there are only two component parts to a dreambox, motherboard and tuner. neither make noise. so what you have is a simple problem. your box is likely a bootloader 76 version with an internal fan. if you open the box, remove the tuner and lift the fan you will likely find that there is something stuck in it or it is not seated correctly. its the only possible noise issue and i have found with one unit i bought a piece of rubber (not condom) stuck just underneath the fan

 

I'm not sure if its a clone or not, I bought it direct from Hongkong.
I had it on for less than hour and half last-nite, and the machine just started to buzz picture went, I turned it off for a few mins and turned it back on, then it said can,t Tune. yet i was able to see Tease smut.and one or two others but no sly, since i got the box I had to, every time I turn it on, I have to change the cam to 14. I will send a email to Dream, some Guy Called mark on the help line see what I can get from him, I think myself I will send it back, it cost me 220 incld post and Customs. If I open the box it might invalidate it. I can't remember hearing a fan going in the unit and looking through the vents don't see any, unless its hidden, hence the reason for not opening it. I will let you know if I get anywhere with Dream rep. thanks Rooney,Mickah,fintannl.
