My dreambox 800hd combined with a Multitenne dish can’t wake up on a HD channel, will give a “Tune failed” message.
So every time I had to switch to a SD channel and switch back to the HD channel to get an image.

I created a little script that can do the switch for you, I use the BVN channel as standby channel so if the box wakes up i BVN is on. You can set your own startup channel in three steps as described in the script.

1. Put zapscript.sh on your dreambox somewhere (i.e. your root home dir)
2. Enter “chmod 755 zapscript.sh”
3. Start script “./zapscript.sh”
4. Optional but recommended add to startup: enter “ln -s /home/root/zapscript.sh /etc/rcS.d/S80zapscript.sh” the script will run if the box get booted after a power down or reboot.

download zapscript.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Set default channel in standby mode
# To select your default channel:
# 1. navigate to http://dreamboxip/web/getservices and select your bouquet reference value and copy it
# 2. navigate to http://dreamboxip/web/getservices?sRef=YOURBOUQUET
#     Something like: 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.dbe17.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet
# 3. copy your channel reference to use as your standby channel
