    Mine does exactly the same one minute it's working the next it'll cut off and reboot. Your API isn't 4.54e_E is it ?

    4.51 is the most stable firmware for THE B0X in the UK , you could try flash it again to see if that helps or do a factory setting

    All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.


    Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

    Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on
    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Automatic Scan
    Press OK
    Channels found
    Exit

    Press Menu then 1570
    Turn EMU key ON

    Exit , exit , exit

    The 4.51 firmware you are using might be corrupt

    Where did you download it from ?

    Ok try this

    Delete the 4.51 file from your PC

    Go here and download it
    http://eko.4shared.com/account/file...H20070709_451eE_api.html?sId=YJ96YW4Vtds9XOMD

    Press Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

    Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

    Then connect the b0x to your PC and flash it again

    Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starvi*w will then reboot

    Disconnect from PC and connect back up to the TV

    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Automatic Scan
    Press OK
    Channels found
    Exit

    Press Menu then 1570
    Turn EMU key ON

    Exit , exit , exit

    You can try it as you might have downloaded it and it could be corrupt , dont forget to delete the one you have from your PC first , then download it again
