FireDTV need to be reset constantly

[McenterFreak]

I have this huge problem: I need to reset the FireDTV box constantly (remove the FireWire cable, wait, plug the Firewire cable again).

The symptoms are this:

Reception is fine, i change channel, then sometimes okay and sometimes black screen. Then only solution is to remove FireWire cable, and plug it in again. Then i works again, with flawless reception on both SD and HD

I have tried with XP and Vista, with DVBViewer version 3.9.2.0 and Beta 3.9.2.51, same problem with alle combinations

I have installed the latest Firmware on the FireDTV box

Don't use Options -> Hardware -> Open whole transponder off (unticked), and don't use the LNB_Off Tool. The FireDTV S2 firmware is still a bit buggy in this respect.

Thanks

By the way, what is the LNB_Off tool?
