    are you sure you flashed it properly, or do you have a clone box, look in the top of the vents, if you see a silver heatsink in the middle of the box, you have a clone box, and will have to be returned to supplier to be changed.

    Hi e45,

    I have been using it fine for the last few months, then when returning from holiday (after having it switched off at the wall) I had issues booting it back up.

    I thought the issue was too much power on the co-ax line, as i kept getting electric shocks off it, so when I disconnected the co-ax I managed to boot it up ok, though now even by trying this it still does not boot up.

    I will check when I get home tonight to see if this is a clone box, though if it is I'm on to plums as farango (where I bought it) doesnt seem to be trading anymore.

    If it turns out to be a clone box, why would that be a problem? as it was working at first. and secondly, where can you get one that is definitely not clone box?

    Thanks Again,
    JB

    Try google Skywonder they dont sell clones or Wizard sat

    it dies because firmware you put on it was not fit for clone box
