I would see if you can flash a new image to it using Dreamup. Its possibe that the image may have become corrupt

I think this may be due to the new update in the system where the keys have been changed. Have you done a key update in the last few days?

I'm flashing my Eaglebox tomorrow so when i've sussed it out i'll let you know

First time i've played with a 500/500 clone but i'm guessing it can't be any harder than the 7020 is to do

Got to be easier than the TM9100 i used to own either way

You can get dreamup from dreamboxes website. You will then need a Null Modem cable. If you havnt got one of these visit lincsat's shop. You need to connect your P.C. to the box using the null cable. You will then need a new image best place for them is digitalworldz forum. 2.0 is the newest one. You then need to download this on to your box. Basically thats it.

Just don't put Gemini on it as it will brick your box
