My wonderful old DM5620 acts as server for the other dreams in my home.
Last night as was stagering up to Bedfordshire I accidentaly turned it off,realising my mistake I quickty turned it back on,it booted fine I and proceeded to land of nod.U-zzz

But today I bring the box out of standby and the remote works like a 600 or 800.
Problem is there is no exit button on the old remote so I try a 600 remote and it works perfectly.

Is this spooky or what?
Perhaps not the basis for a new religion; but can anyone explain?:-worship

(Gemini 4.1 for 5620, Cccam2.1.4)

Sadly I have to report this is no miracle, (blue panel-extras/settings-use 70xx remote)
However I swear I didn't tick it!

Click to expand...

As it is setup as a server, somebody else has access to it from outside your home network and did the honours!

A chilling thought Topper!
Think I'm pretty well protected -but perhaps time for a review of security,

Well, IMHO more likely to be related to the software faults developing. I found out that after having an image for a long time on the 5620 box, it sometimes develops all sorts of problems - and the easiest solution is to put in a fresh image. Mine has a problem at the moment that in certain situations the cccam is constantly rebooting - and the only thing to stop it is to reboot the box. I swear I also did not configure it to do so, one day it "appeared". So, like a PC, after some while the operating software degrades...

Yes I agree this is most likely cause, -
-cos tho I think the 5620 is a great box in some ways (doesn't overheat, easy to work on etc) it is an old design with limited memory, glitchy, has problems networking sometimes and the image def degrades in strange ways, a box with character and attitude!
