The main problem with these receivers was the flash memory chip, but I've never heard of this fault causing your symptoms, usually the channel lists starts to resemble ancient Egyptian bit by bit, channels disappear from the list, and channels are added to or removed from the favourites list at random. If you've had none of these symptoms, it's likely to be something else. I can't remember whether these receivers have a seperate power supply board, if so the capacitors on that board are suspect (particularly with the receiver responding to a change in temperature). If not a seperate board, there's normally a power supply area on the board marked out with a black line. There's some risk in trying to reload the software if you can't guarantee the receiver will stay on, only try that as a very last resort. PM me if you need any help.
