I got a few of these since dreamlinks tanked . Any way I was pleased with this unit until recently . Can't seem to get the guide to fill in at all . Keeps saying loading . I am not getting freezing in the picture , just crappy epg and only recently . Is it the server , the box or my internet provider ?
what software version does it have?
That would be the server or your box epg settings.

ask reseller to switch you to xc apiQuote:

He never mentioned the server name. Not all panels have that option to switch without entering a new line.Quote:

just happened exactly as OP with two of our HD5 units. after 4th reboot they started to load. our frind did not reboot network but that what I told him to do but he did not. he was keep rebooting the box and finally it kicked in. I told him to reboot network next time if happens again. :)
