]Hi all,
I hope someone can help me. I am VERY new to this so please bear with me if I ask silly questions. Also I cannot get rid of the underline on the text clicking on the U doesn't make any difference for some reason.
I live in Turkey and have just had a 1.8m dish installed with what they call a Skybox. On investigation this is a Dreambox 500. I get lots of channels on Astra 2A and 2B, which believe me is great but . . .
We get a lot of freezing and glitches, particularly in the evening, not so bad in the mornings. The glitches just last a few seconds, but the freezing can last anything from a couple of minutes to several hours (on Sunday it was frozen for 11 hours). I reboot the Dreambox several times but if it is not ready to unfreeze it won't.
The engineer has been several times to check it out but they cannot find anything wrong.
The MgCmd version loaded is 1.25 and Gemini 3.6.0, I know there are later versions available to download but the Engineer said that if we updated the software it would not descramble the Sky programs.
The other problem is that the normal username and password, i.e. root and dreambox do not work, the engineer has told us that it has not been changed from default and has no idea what it is. If I do a factory reset will this reset the username and password as well?
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
