    As it's in a bootloop, you can still FTP in & get the crashlogs being generated, stored in /home/root/logs/ by default.
    If you upload one here, someone might be able to tell you why it's happening.

    Also, please read this thread.

    By reflashing it !, the process of flashing the receiver will erase the old image then write a new one onto it, bus as said by judge you can also still FTP into the receiver even though it is in a bootloop to retrieve some of the crash logs from /home/root/

    All a factory reset does is erase the user area and return the image you have on there back to a just installed state.

    you will need to use a USB stick to reflash the image if it's in a bootloop.

    every thing you need to know is in this tutorial http://openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=G...B%20Ultimo.pdf

    But i would not recommend using a USB HDD because if it disconnects during the flashing process it could kill the receiver, you really need a USB flash drive ( USB stick ).

    ok so time to setup again, your original issue with the OSD was something called overscan, ideally you want to turn this off from the TV's side because with it turned on your loosing a good portion of the viewable area of your TV, if thats not a option you can adjust the OSD's position as part of the first install wizard after flashing the receiver.
