T5 on south server?

[TK-8Banditos]

I have talked to a few people in the last few days who are getting very few channels, a lot of freezing and slow channel changes on the south server, and they all have a T5.
I have a different receiver and everything is working with no freezing.
Is it a coincidence they are all T5?
Let me know how your T5 is working on the south server please.
:thumbsup:

I have the T 5 and yes there is lots of freezing i can't watch anything right now . What reciever are you useing TK thanks .

[TK-8Banditos]

I have the T6.
It was freezing earlier in the week but has been great since Wednesday.

I have a T5 and it's the same as well freezing alot

Servers have been known to make changes which sometimes affect a certain brand of receiver
It’s happened in the past and the server needs to be made aware of it

When was the last time you reset the T5 and scanned all your channels? Also reboot your router/modem, see if this helps.

Yesterday my friend did a factory reset and scanned and tried all 3 ports but was still getting black channels and freezing.

I too did all of this plus talking with TK-88 to no avail plus trying port 40000 and 65000 and nada same thing terrible amount of freezing..Like nobodyspecial post above about the change in server and the freezing started at the time.So I strongly believe that the server is the issue.

[nobodyspecial]

If its working fine on other boxes then its definitely something at the server
We know for sure nothing has changed on the dreamlinks...lol

[dsd]

Any other ports to try ??? Asking for a friend

T4 & T5 here, terrible freezing and many channels not working at all.

[guy]

Are aany other boxes working good??????????????????????

Yes my buddy has a jynxbox v7 that is not freezing and I know another guy with nano hd that is also not freezing.
I was hoping somebody with a T5 would stop in and say they are fine with no problems.

That's interesting, I didn't know only certain brands can be affected. Maybe I should get a different box, south has been really crappy on my dreamlinks.

I'm in the same boat here gonna dig out my jynxbox and try it see if it works any better then that will prove to me that its the box and whatever they did a few weeks back when they changed server locations (to a far off place) as described in the thread caused this issue with the dreamlink t5 which really sucks cause i just bought it 2 months ago liked it alot and was working fine right up till the server change they made....

[craigg]

Just hooked up my jynxbox to same system and south is working fine on it so that confirms whatever went down with the south server and they had to change server locations a few weeks back is causing the Dreamlink T5 to have scrambled channels and freezing issues... gonna try loading an older FW on it see if maybe that might fix the issue with this change they made...

[jets]

Maybe the server is miss-configured and see the T5 as fsec or something along those lines. My neighbour has a T5 will be home soon will check with him in a bit.

My other buddy say his VS9K is running great but his ports have different numbers than the ones mentioned here. He say check 9460 that is working good on the VS9K with goo router.


Edit add this:

Buddy says T5 is fine, no freeze on 9460, 9436 and 9469 of the channels he checked on south. But his ports are different and probably a different server domain name/IP.

Mine's unwatchable tonight. Maybe we need a different port?

I was thinking of maybe a different port too because I am running a dreamlink V.1 or 2 with a south server and it keeps on freezing on different channels.

Do they recommend a certain port for dreamlink?

I just called my cousin in Calgary and he's working fine. My buddy in Winnipeg is freezing. I'm freezing in the south. At least it's warm out though! So my cousin is on cable, my buddy is on dsl, and I'm on cable. I've rebooted my router and modem lots. I just factory reset the T4 and then loaded a factory file, then loaded the new file. Rescanned and it's a no go. Still freezing. I've tried port 40000 and 65000. From what I hear, the Viewsat's are fine though.

Anybody have any new updates on the T5 and the South server problem people were having since the recent server location change several weeks back? And is anybody currently using their T5 on South server and getting all the channels without any freezing or issues? Swapped out the power adapter but still not working on south here, North server works fine on it though which still doesn't make much sense if it was on the receiver end. Could be a timing issue and the receiver cant get whatever it needs from the server fast enough now that it has changed locations to another part of the world?

Ya my power supply worked on some channels but most are down now. There has to be a south server problem. I'm waiting for my VPN router to show up. My receivers at home work through NordVPN. I'll try that and update.

I just got home from work and all is good here on 65000, no freezing at all.
So you are saying the new power supply helped but did not fix all the freezing, just some channels?
Have you ever tried putting your router in DMZ mode or use the port forwarding on the line to your T5?
My router has been in DMZ for years, I wonder if it makes a difference for iks?

I use VPN and port forwarded at home. Just port forwarded here. So I bought a Merlin router like I have at home to see if it helps.

At the end of the day, it boils down to the rate the stb's get/process the control words.Affected by your distance from the server (latency),server burden,card burden at the server,vpn's,firewalls,& the stb's ability to process the cw's.
