- Boot loop or “brick”: try recovery mode (often achieved with a specific button/method) and re-flash official recovery image via USB or serial (if documented).
- Missing channels or bad EPG: re-scan satellites/transponders; check region/language settings; install latest transponder list if available.
- Remote control not working after update: re-pair (if RF/BT) or reprogram IR in settings; check battery and IR sensor.
- CA module/Smartcard errors: verify firmware supports that CA system version; update CAM firmware if available.
- Network/streaming failures: check network settings (DHCP/static), update network stack firmware, test with Ethernet to isolate Wi‑Fi issues.
