It lasts85 seconds and then the picture freezes. Now I can't even get it to come on at all-It stops when COMMANDER WOD 6 appears on screen? Have I been sold a load of rubbish?
You simply have to reflash the box.
If you don't own pc experience and you are not willing to learn you shouldn't buy such devices.

Thanks for replying, the box needs a reflash, the image is corrupt, the box isn't broken.

Tracie - you sound like one of my customers who say "my broadband has been working fine for months and I can't understand why it's suddenly broken" - lol..

Unfortunately, it happens. Especially with cable TV systems which rely on frequently changing keys..

What everyone is telling you is true - you do need to flash another image. It's often trial and error as to which image works best for you. For me, a certain Sportster image has always worked very well. Others say the same about Commando images, and so forth..

Flash a new image, using IFA, and see how you get on..

Several hours or 85 seconds ?.

It is not possible to break a box by swapping ucodes the worse you will get is a waiting for time error.

You can get the box to lock on bootup by selecting avia500 or avia600 in error but to be honest the function for this hasn't been working for ages on most images made wihin the last year anyway so anyone that says it makes a difference is living in cloud cuckoo land and it is down to the power of suggestion.

To be honest tracie if you follow the help people give you then you will be amazed at how easy it can be, we all started knowing nothing (I havn't got any better :) ) but if you do it 1 stage at a time you will be smiling within a couple of days.

Well sell the box on ebay!

Tell the truth about it working for a bit then going off and i am sure you will get a good price for it. Not £200 but who ever sold it to you for that saw you coming, i have never heard of a box going for that much. Should sell for just over £120 mark.

You need to reflash your box from time to time to make it run perfect and if you can't do it and can't learn how to do it cut your losses and sell it now because dbox2's are claming a high price on ebay at the minute.
