Hi,

I'm running a DM500s Clone box with CCCam 2.1.4 and have tried both the Gemini 4.70 and latest Pli image.

When i boot the box i can view all FTA channels fine e.g. BBC 1 London, if i then switch to an encrypted channel (Comendy Central) that will also show fine. But when i switch back to BBC 1 all i get is a blank picture no sound, almost seems to be trying to decrypt the free channel.

Restarting CCCam doesn't resolve the issue, rebooting the box does.

Is this a hardware issue with the box or a software setup problem? I can't seem to find anyone else having the same issue.

Thanks in advance for any help

Ray

Nowhere near enough information!

For starters are you using your own Sky card?

Could be a problem with your motorised dish setup.

Also never use any Gemini image with a cloned dreambox.

I am having the same problem,when I reboot the box I can view bbc 1 until I go to an encrypted channel,I have 2 dm500s and the other box is fine so it must be something to do with the first box,both boxes have pli jade image,enigma 1.
