out of interest, how is the box connected to the internet? wifi or hard wired. I only ask as the box attempts to download the picon set if there is no /media/hdd/picon folder just before enigma2 starts but that's normally about 45-50, just wondered if using wifi if that's causing your box to freeze.
I've had about 4 people mention it sticks on 37, but you're the only one that it hasn't moved on for after a few seconds.
