    Help wanted for my et5000 crashing a lot.

    Im using the latest vix image, all i have added is cccam, channel list and i have a usb hdd attached.
    But im getting really fed up with it now, it can crash by just changing channels ffs !

    Its happening one or twice a night, i have to switch off at the rear to totally reboot it.

    I have tried reflashing the image from scratch (then updated it over network) and its still the same.

    Think i might try PLI image again and see how that goes, unless anyone else can suggest something else to try

    Your post does not exactly help with the lack of info!

    Post the crash logs and post an exact step by step of what you where doing when it crashed.

    How many epg sources do you have selected? Also re-scan the satellites that you are watching. Simply transferring and using pre-created settings/bouquets can cause crashes unless re-scan on your receiver.

    Hmmm
    As I stated on another thread a friend with a et5000 is having same issues after doing the online update. I'll see if I can get any logs off him as he is not too Linux/computer literate.

    Even if you use a new settings pack, re-scan the satellites you use Set clear before scan to yes when you run a single satellite scan.
