DM7020HDv2 not booting successfully

Without internet (cable from router not connected) my DM7020HDv2 doesn´t start up from switched off. When I switch it on from the back panel it normally starts booting, but when booting comes to the end the display goes black, TV screen black also, any action on the receiver is impossible, it doesn´t respond to any command except switching it off on the back panel. Switching it on again the same thing repeats. If, at that point, I connect the internet cable to ethernet, everything starts working normally. If then I disconnect internet again, everything stays working as it should. Which means that DM7020HDv2 needs internet for booting also. So, using it as an autonomous, PC independent hard disk player is impossible.

Has it anything to do with missing SSL? I flashed a Dream-Elite image to the receiver directly, without installing a second stage bootloader first.

No such problems with my other Dreamboxes, DM8000 and DM500HDv1 and v2. They normally boot and receive channels (the not encrypted ones) without internet connection. Is needing internet for booting successfully normal DM7020HDv2 functioning or is there something wrong with it? If so, what should I do? Try to install a SSL (saw it posted in this forum), reboot and then reflash?

This is a strange behavior, does it happens with all images ? If it does then it would come from the DM Software (Drivers), if it's only related to that image then the team done "something" to their software ?

I had the experience few years ago with ViX image that stopped working when the ViX Team decided to close their feeds/repository for that image, and obliged all their users to flash the new image, not really nice behavior, but it happens with some teams.

Thank you Admin. Yes, it´s some strange behavior, it has never happened with other Dreamboxes. I have only tried it on Dream-Elite, don´t know about other images in this Dreambox. Will try the only thing I can - install the SSL and reflash some other image.

We put some images on the forum for DM7020HDv2 members as you, perhaps you can try with these already,

Deam Elite is known not to be too "crystal clear" about their software, so it could be related to an old version as it happened to ViX, to force connection to their servers... I don't like it.
