u can use ifa which will erase your current img and write a new one, however using this method, you will lose all your services, bouquets, kys, emus etc which you will need to install on the new img.
Therefore the best method is to use an ftp set up with your pc then u can first save all these important files including a copy of the whole image - as it is now.
you can then use the ftp proggy (flashfxp) to transfer a new img into the /tmp folder and flash using the remote...

as for imgs there is a plethora out there.....i have a sagem x2 and usually use V++3.2 2x...

cheers

First shut it down and let it cool down and see if it still crashes

There are several to try, but as stated, backup your services first.

You could try my fullish image or the combined Enigma/Neutrino image, Enigma is usually good fos some freezing boxes.

There have been some developments in the scanning procedure recently with the new scan picking up the VM favourites and a few other tweaks - watch out for some new images before too long
