Useful bits and pieces of info for Enigma2 The Spark Image on these boxes have limitations and so, a proper Linux Based firmware seems to provide more possibilities and it could be said, has been supported better than Spark. Some reasons for considering Enigma The Spark code is being updated now and again with features…

At the weekend I installed OpenAtv fresh , not from a backup. First time I've done this on the AA2.

Got to say it runs a lot better than it ever did making me wonder are backups really causing a lot of issues ?

I'm really impressed with OpenAtv 4.2 !

Hi Lads,

Once quick question, on Open ATV I get "timeshift not working" or similar on the Saorview channels. Also, when I pause on Sat channels the screen goes blank for about 10 seconds before image reappears. Same when restarting play. Is this correct?

Hi Guys,
New to this forum and new to anything outside Sky digital. Got the Courage to cancel my Sky - Just received my brand new Amiko Alien 2 with Enigma 2 Pre Loaded.
Had loads of issues getting The Tuners up and running with the various Channels. Ended up going back to Factory Default :-(
Have I now removed the Enigma 2 ? How can I tell ?

Many thanks,
Tom.

Hi,

I recently got a SAB Unix Triple HD box in the last week. However 2 days ago when trying to record I received an error message 'NO HDD Found or HDD not Initialized!'.

The box was previously recording and has a 320gb capacity. Can someone advise how I can fix this?

Thanks

The internal drive of 320gb should be lots of storage. Can someone advise what I need to do in settings to get the box back recording again?

The box does not have space for an internal drive, it only has a usb port to plug in an external. Anyway, this is the firmware thread, no discussion allowed here

Hi all

Here's a link to my complete OpenATV based Image. It's been made from OpenATV 4.2 from 17/12/2014

This image is working with the following plugins and bits working:-
AutoTimer, AutoVolumeAdjustment, AutoBoquets, CrossEPG (0.62), Various Skins, Picons, Time from NTP, OSCam v10078 (blank with sample line), OpenWebIf, Streaming, SambaServer, RTEPlayer, TS Media and XBMC Addons. CrossEPG is also flushed out once a week. This image uses the bundled OpenATV EPG.

You can obviously install any other plugins you choose. Please READ the "Champions OpenATV Image - README" located in the download folder. Please use the Enigma Discussion thread for asking any questions or seeking assistance.

The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for using HDMI at 720p. Terrestrial is scanned to Irish Saorview - Three Rock Transmitter

OpenWebIf - http://box_ip (Default Port 80)

How to use picons
Transfer the picon folder from the download over to your external harddrive (/hdd)
Then go to the pkt bluepanel and find skin setup. In there change picons location from Enigma to HDD. All picons should display then.

If your saorview picons are still not working you will need to rename each of your saorview picons to the correct service reference. These can be found by loading up your channel list in dreamboxedit and hovering over the chosen channel.

Hi,
So I bought an AA2+ from TVTrade at the weekend. For the life of me I couldn't get the Enigma to work so I switched to Spark and got the Saorview and Sat channels all dialed in. So I know my dish and antenna are fine. Also formatted and mounted a 500GB hdd as ext3.

I thought I'd have another go at Enigma and after reading the many threads thought I'd try Hyperion first. I downloaded FreshPots 4.5 image and it seemed fine - for a couple of minutes. I had no Saorview channels but the SATs were fine. Found the tuner was set to Australia so I set it to IRL, scanned and got the channels. For a minute on RTE 1 when the box froze. Booted again but it froze again as soon as I hit the EPG button. Booted again but it only lasted a couple of seconds before freezing. I thought it might be the hdd for the EPG so I reflashed it and mounted the hdd first before scanning for Saorview. No joy - still crashing. I get a bit further sometimes with the EPG but generally it seems to be unusable after a minute or so or after pressing a button or two.

I did also go to the CrossEPG and download the UK XML channels. I got a ton of stuff in the EPG then but still crashes after a few button presses. One time I got a green screen.

Is there something I am missing that I need to do? I got the impression the Hyperion was supposed to be pretty stable?

Cheers

I have downloaded and installed Enigma2. I went through the posts here but I couldn't find the answers and have some questions.

On OpenATV the terrestrial provider seems to be set to the Three Rock mast but I am trying to rescan to get the terrestrial channels from Mount Leinster. How can I rescan all the terrestrial channels?

How can I mix and match the Sky Channels with the Terrestrial channels on the channels menu?

When I select RTE 1 now (RTE is not tuning in) the menu performance slows down to where I cannot select or even move the selection bar on the menus. It almost prevents moving off the channel as the response is upwards of 1 minute to select or exit. Why does this slow down happen when a channel is selected that is not tuned correctly?
