Hi there….
Having a few problems with my Xtreme XTSC-520 Satellite & Terrestrial Receiver Well I “think” it’s this model… Friend gave it to me…nothing on the case except Xsteam (I’m running 2 parabols HOTBIRD 13° and ASTRA 19.2°
Had it for about 3 years now no problem… but recently it’s been freezing on certain channels and impossible to transfer new channels to the favourite list…. I selection the channel but when I press on “exit” Where normally I would get a window asking do you want to keep this change…. the screen just goes green and the box crashes. Generally not behaving its self anymore
Question/ Do you think this is a Hardware or Software problem. Obviously if its a hardware problem it probably be cheaper to throw it out and buy a new one.
But if its a Software problem…. how would I fix it… It does have a USB in… but what do I do with it…. Sorry to be so vague about the “ problem” I’ve checked out the
OS (Stream System) on the net…but I’m a bit lost as of what to do.
Thanks for any Help.
oh yeah! forgot... when i press on the volume button the volume stays on the screen and everything blocks.... have to OFF/ON to clear it.

I suggest you check the number of transponders and channels that your stb is capable of storing, this is often the cause of this type of problem, too many channels scanned in..... It is classified under housekeeping or lack of .........

Ok I'm trying that for the moment.... have about 2000 ch of bulls*** but I can only clear out about 100 in one go... I go over that and it gets all grumpy and crashes

2 hours later.... thanks "Topper" that works... managed to transfer my Favorites again....
Only another 1500 ch to throw out now.
