    im not too sure why this happens, but, it seems to only affect some people, with differing images across ALL of TMs linux receivers. Personally, i think its something to do with the backup and restore scripts going a bit loopy during the update process.

    first off, backup all the info you need, easiest way is via the miniweb. press and hold the power button on the receiver while powering on, and youll be given a number on the display. if your routers IP is 192.168.1.1, and the number on the receiver is 23, in a web browser enter 192.168.1.23 and press enter, youll be greeted with the miniweb. half way down, backup boquets and services, this will give you a tar.gz file containing all your channel data, save it, you can restore it after by using the same process. go back to the main screen

    towards the bottom, youll see options to edit cccam, mgcamd, etc, choose the one that you use, scroll down, and youll see the full config, copy and paste either your line, or the whole lot, somewhere safe, youll need this to put back in later

    now, you can also try reflashing from here, but, youll probably still have the same problem, so, turn the receiver off, and back on, and leave to fully boot

    via the receivers menu, do a factory reset. when it boots up, turn the power off, and enter the uBoot menu by pressing the ^ button while powering on, turn your tv to scart input, using the onscreen options, do ANOTHER factory reset from the on screen options

    reflash (preferably via serial cable)

    go through the setup wizard

    enter miniweb again, restore your boquets .tar.gz file

    re enter your server line by using the edit cccam , mgcamd option. copy your line into thetop text box, and click ADD LINE

    restart the receiver

    should now be ok
