WoS have got back to me already with some things to try. Thanks for the quick response

"Re-flash your receiver and setup for free to air only. Do not restore any backups.

How to flash process is the same as the Nano-2T

Set up as FREE TO AIR ONLY.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY EXTRA PLUGINS.

Hi was it a hardware issue then? ? mine is constantly locking up FTA or any channel.

I would try this first. flash with latest image but don't install anything just set up the screen so you can see the vix page .
Remove the Ethernet and any other cables and drives and just have power lead and the Hdmi cable in.
Make sure the receiver is in the open for this test. Keep checking every hour to see if the vix screen is still there and the remote is still working.
Mine stopped after 5 hours then once it went black it would do it quicker.
If yours does the same get in touch with your supplier.
I think mine must have been hardware, my new replacement seems good after 11 hours

Update on my black screen issue - In my case I think it was cam related, and not a hardware.

-Since following the recommendations from WoS my box has been working fine (FTA only). I don't put the box into standby over night and its still displaying BBC1 in the morning, just as I left it. Its been 2 days now without a glitch so I'm now going to start to use Mgcam again with a concious effort to check that if I get the black screen, I check the screen is still being driven (press "ok" or "menu"), just to check I get a response from the box and the HDMI still outputs.

Really pleased with my purchase so far. Thanks again to WoS for the support.

guys, an update to my experience. WOS kindly replaced my 3T and i got a new one 2 weeks ago.

however i am still seeing the same issue where the box randomly locks up. This surely suggests a local install issue? So I have reduced the test down to FTA only, no cams, nothing else running and still it locks up on latest image rev.

WOS have suggested it could be a short on my lnb feed so i moved to the box into another room and onto a different lnb feed. But the same issue persists. Plus i also have a VUsolo plugged into the same cables and this doesnt lock up on either of the two lnb feeds i have tried the 3T on.

Failing taking the box to another address and leaving it plugged into someone elses dish, i dont know what other test i can do. i honestly dont want this box anymore. Maybe its tuner is too sensitive by design?

i am really mystified and dispondant. Out of interest, the other members who are having issues what kind of setups do they have? i am using a multi lnb system & a 28e dish all going into a diseqc switch. But never had a shorting issue with any other box.

Re flash with the original technomate image and see if it locks up on it or at least try another.
leave it running free to air and see.

Just been experiencing what I thought was a lock up on mine, but only since updating to ApolloHD90 (Box has been stable since 06-11). I have occasionally been getting black screen again so went back to vix 89 (which had been stable for me) but still got the issue, very puzzling. I would restart the box and it would start working ok. However, with my issue I noticed yesterday that the menu function was still working on the front screen so the box hadn't locked up, it had just stopped outputting through HDMI. Using the screen on the box I navigated through to the restart option and restarted the box and all worked fine again. After a bit of digging around in the settings I found that my default output had changed from HDMI to scart. If I restarted the box it seem that there is some wake up function between my tv and the nano and the HDMI would output ok. When I switched my TV to terrestrial TV output then back to the HDMI channel the nano was plugged into I got the black screen again. I have now reflashed my box with HDMI as the default output and have not had a problem since. Fingers crossed.

(Still on VIX 89, will give it a few days then update to the latest image. ),
Hope this is of some help.

tony97568 thanks for your feedback its interesting what you have highlighted.

In my case not only is HDMI output dead but the front screen is fronzen as well (no front panel buttons working), as well as ethernet not working either, so in my case the box is totally dead when it locks up.

This is exactly same issue I had with my first 3T box.. Either its a hardware issue or software/driver related. Really need this to be sorted as the 3T I can see has potential and will be very popular once the kinks are worked out. Picture on 3T is better than VU+ Ultimo IMO

I have left the 3T at parents place so not sure if the issue still exists but I have a bad feeling its still there.

No more probs

Just update have tested 2 more 3T both have no issue at all..Either software has sorted this issue or maybe a few boxes were affected.

All in all very good box just wish the remote was better but PQ is great.
