Limesat's were notorious for BOOT issues. I cannot speak to Web Wizards fix, but found if I unplugged the machine for at least 20 mins. then plug back in & turn on it would be fine until next time.

As to files, you just need to find the last file produced for the Limesat: You need to know which Ver. of Limesat you have.

Ok got it now unplugged overnight the screen went off BOOT and came back on. Now it works for a couple min and then boots again I will try to unplug for awhile and see what happens. How do you know what version you have

forget the exact button sequence on the remote, but would start with Menu and go from there, but is under system info...

Also, double check connections at the receiver and diseq switch... if there is any type of 'short' (loose connection, water etc.), it will cause a receiver to reboot.

If all else fails, do a factory reset, reload factory file and then latest file put out for your version of receiver.

Ok thanks I will try that another problem I have is on a different limesat receiver I have. I started it up and connected right away everything working good then after 5 min remote wont work no more I know it is not the remote because it works for my other limesat I can change channels only on front of receiver

You never mentioned if you tried the Boot Loop link I posted above. Did you? And if so what happened?

No I never tried it yet got to try and find the 2.75 file I think and prob loader files for limesat. I have never done anything to these boxes since new 5 years ago just put in PS and they worked. The files here if you open just go right to kodi 17.6
