OK, my mis-read when I read in your 1st post "picked-up" I took that to be a box from ebay etc
I would still re-check your tuners and hard disk ...., its very easy with the ET8500 just to open up and double check
Otherwise, wait to see what happens .... samba should not be an issue.

I currently have the latest image flashed on the unit. 4.2.009 and it does not find anything later to update to, so why would the skin be out of date?
The latest crash log is attached, so should my next step be to download another copy of the current image or source something different as an image?

... don,t see anything about skins, but you often see skin error that can be ignored.
Would be worth trying Openatv image to see where the issue might be - in the OE-A (which Openatv also belongs to), OpenViX or the hardware

Also a segfault (driver issue), same as in your previous log.
IMHO this must be down to a specific setting or plugin.
I would reflash without restore, only install service settings and a softcam and run the box for some 2 days to see if all is fine.
If so, you can slowly and step by step add everything you want.

OK I was ahead on that.
openatv-5.3-et8500-20161024 installed and initial setup actually scanned both receivers and gave a few more channels than I normally get. Next step would be selecting providers, but the image does not have UK freesat or freeview ... unit froze while I was looking at the list so I am convinced now that there is a hardware problem with this unit ... I'd left it running BBC2 and it's frozen again ...

Just to put this thread to bed. The unit has been replaced by WOS and while I'm still having fun with the new one it is a lot more stable, however as supplied it gave some problems when set up normally. See new thread for some of the detail.

/media/hdd or /home/root
how about other settings?
This thread was closed ... the original crash problem was not present after the unit was returned. I've not formally identified what the problem was, BUT it does look like there is a problem with using static IP addresses. I have been switching dhcp services while changing broadband hubs having finally got fibre speed on one of the snail pace lines. Currently the problem unit has an IP address via dhcp and is stable, but when I tried to change it to a static one it played up, but I have not had time to investigate further. I will get around to fully configure the new hub once I drop the second broadband line next month ... two lines gave me around 1Mb upload ... fibre is giving me 16Mb

I am using a static IP and having lots of issues (as a few of you know)...
I am going to speak with WoS and get my ET8500 returned as I am having random crashes, issues, tuners dropping out etc.....
I always change my routers to only allow upto 099 on dhcp and then use outside that for static ip addresses ... although with my current fritzbox that is not always necessary as you can use the fritzbox software to fix ip addresses...... great box if they didn,t always do things their way....... like everybody else is wrong

how did you get on with changing your box? I'm having same issues with crashing and have to press power switch at the back of the box to get it to respond.
