Why are you messing around with those settings? Leave them as default unless you have specific reason to change them and know what you're doing.

Have you had a read through The Guide? What image are you using? Are you motorised?

And welcome to the forum :)

Have you tried loading a channel list e.g. PET123, using DreamboxEdit?

It sounds like your image is corrupt or the settings are conflicting and causing your Dreambox to crash. If you have a null modem cable I suggest reflashing.

Can you post a screenshot like the one attached?

If you have a PC connected to the same router as your Dreambox:

On your Dreambox:

Click Menu > 6 > service searching > satellite configuration


On your PC:

1. In a web browser type in the IP address of your dreambox e.g.

Code:
http://192.168.0.11

2. Click on Control and then Screenshot

Save the image. Create a new post here, Go Advanced and click Manage Attachments to attach the image.

If your dish is pointing at 28.2 and you've uploaded a channel list, you should be able to select a channel from the bouquet e.g. BBC1 and it should work.

Have you changed any other settings?

No i didn't change any other settings but the problem when i do a research on astra 28.2 it restarts the Dream all the time

I wonder if it is a hardware problem because this morning i took the dream to a sateilite shop and wanted to perform a search and the same thing happened

How old is the box? Have you run a clone checker on it?

Can you watch a channel without doing a scan?

Are you doing an Automatic Transponder scan?

If it's 2 years old it should be fine.

If you added a channel list, can you watch BBC1 without scanning?
