I keeping getting crashes everyday, just by watching TV, doing nothing, the spinning wheel appears and keeps going.
Hard reboot is the only way to revive the Octagon.

It looks like it got something to do with recordings, as it started crashing when a recording started in the background.

I got 1 internal HDD 1 TB and 1 external HDD 2TB.
Both worked perfectly without problems untill lately.

no, it happens when recordings are on and watching any channel, suddenly the spinner pops up and never stopsThis is not a crash... it is an endless spinner.

What plugins etc do you have loaded.

Switch off Cross and EPG importer and see if it still happens.

don't have Cross EPG on, and switched off EPGImport now, but I don't see why this would be the problem suddenly as it worked perfectly before. Something has changed in the new versions, I didn't have the spinning wheel problem before. Nothing changed in my settings.

Installed 5.0.016 last night and so far no crashes, no spinner.

UPDATE: recording started in background and still no crash/spinner, so it must be a problem with the latest versions.

There was a driver update in 5.0.023, does 021 work ok?

I'd be surprised if this is the cause, as nobody else seems to be having problems.

so far 16 works perfect, no crashes, not a single spinner I've seen since 10am

UPDATE : after a whole day trying, I can say I fixed the problem by installing 5.0.016. So something in the last versions is making the Octagon crash and showing the spinner regulary.

You should take an image backup then flash #21 and see how that goes.
Between 16 and 21 there was a large driver update and between 21 and 23 another driver update.
Having said that haven't seen any other similar reports:)
