I am using a Dreambox 500 but am having a problem with the EPG side of things.
When I press the red button on the remote the EPG screen appears but I cant get rid of it again.

I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

That was the second thing I did, the first was to read the manual! Sadly, it doesnt work. Even worse, after calling up the EPG and not being able to get rid of it, the Power-Off button no longer works and I have to power-down the box to get it under control again.

I'm running the same on multiple dreambox units ( works fine ) .
You could re-load to the latest image ( there was a few releases of Pli Iolite )
If you connect to broadband via a router ( use blue button and load the latest menu /image )
local geekzone expert bartender was selling dreambox pre-loaded - is it one of his ?

Yes it is one of his, preloaded but then he got me to load a new image.
Where wold I get a new one from or do I just select to update it?

The EPG that is covering up the TV screen is nothing like the one shown on the Freeview site, also.

Thanks for your help.

how did you load the new image ? was it working fine before
you should be able to load new image ( but it may reset any other special files you have ) do a backup using DCC .
