My System: Irish Sky sub, Freesat HD from 28.2 East, BIS 5W and a Motorised Dish with a HTPC holding it all together

The previous image was Gemini 3.7. I've upgraded to Gemini 3.8.

After the first (and second) reflash the box worked fine. However since the first reflash completed at about 1.45 in the morning I decided to go to bed and put the box into Deep Standby. I restarted the box at 8.30 in the morning.

I did not rescan the satellites the first time around, I reloaded them using Dreambox Edit. The second time around I manually rescanned everything.

I use the IHAD database for the images. Hopefully that's a reliable source.

Following the second serial reflash today I rescanned all satellites. For me this takes several hours to do so that's why I havent responded immediately to your post.

After the rescan I put the box into Deep Standby again and went out. I returned two hours later and started the box with my remote.

It now takes about 30 minutes before the Dreambox...Booting logo appears however the box is running as I write this.

I followed the instructions to the letter each time I flashed using DreamUp and the serial cable, yet it still takes an unacceptably long time to boot up. In the past the box would boot immediately from a Deep Standby but not now.

Can anyone recommend a repairer?
