Hi,
i will test as soon i got home. The software i use for the dreambox is from 15 april 2011 (openPli 2.0) so i don't have that problem.
The Lintronic box is connected to the Scart plug of the BV7, so it is working just the same way as the PUC.
Interesting, i did not know you can control the Lintronic box from a Scart connection. Is that also possible for HDMI devices (like my DM and my Mac Mini)? My setup is hidden so i don't have the space for a IR receiver.
The problem lies in a signature in the DM driver of the E2 box. After several times zapping, the box stalks.
Most boxes will freeze from the 1st May on. It has nothing to do with your date of image.
BTW the DM ipk package causes a lot (here in Holland) of freezes. Most likely the box will not boot. A clean install is then the only way to go.
Most boxes which freezes are the DM8000, followed by the 800(SE).
Make sure that you make a backup from your settings via software, Restore these after a clean installation takes 10-15 minutes at the most.

Hi,
I have upgrades my Box without a problem and it does not crash anymore. I'm in Holland also.
About the IR transmitter, i have places several pieces of paper and now it is working much better. not 100%, it is still misses 1 of the 15 keys, most noticeable in Teletekst when entering a number. Up and Down almost go's ok.
and the GO - 1 (teletekst) and Go - 3 (DM Menu) responds much faster than Menu - 1 and Menu - 3
Thanx for all the help!

Yes. Scart control is also possible with HDMI devices. I just connected my DM800SE via HDMI and Scart - Scart for controlling the DB and for watching DB on link TVs - mainroom picture is HDMI.
It is strange that you have such problems with controlling your DB. I had (and have) several boxes, DVD- BD players, mediaplayer (Tvix) connected and controlled via the PUC and everything works fine....(?)

Same experience here. Had lots of boxes in the past till present, but the DM800 is at this moment the first and only device which doesn t work perfect with the ir-lead.

Yes, i have also more then 1 device connected (Mac Book Pro with Plex and a Samsung DVB-C on a other room) without a problem.
the DM gives me problems.. even with the pice of paper..

If you're almost getting there, you or some other "techy" guy, need to to fine-tune the damping factor of the IR-light.
Instead of putting a piece of paper, I would cut one of the two wires of the cable and put a resistor in the ir-cable. I guess you need to experiment with different values of the resistor, to get a stable workung PUC.
To get the right value, I would start with a potmeter, 0 - 10Kohms. Get it fine-tuned till it's stable, and measure the resistance of the potmeter.
Replace the potmeter with a resistor of that value.
The funny thing is my DB 800SE is working great with my Lintronic box. I just taped the IR transmitter to the front of my DB, imported the Dreambox codes from Lintronics database and configured a mapping. No experimenting with IR location, no white paper, no resistor.....
Maybe I should leave it as it is...?
