The f1000 and f2000 need the power disconnected to reset ie just toggling the on/off button may not be enough. Switch off at the mains for at least 30 secs and then power on. And when you are at it, reboot your PC and the box.

I have the f2000 , and found it good for streaming , but now have it bridged to my old tp link , as the f2000 wasn't letting me see all my android devices for streaming (using bubbleupnp to control a device connected to my amp-kinda diy sonas /chrome audio)
Anyway couldn't get soarview rte1 and 2 to stream, or any other HD content , be it live or recorded (mind you, i generally stream to a tablet or phone)

Do you have upnp enabled on the tp-link?

Yep. (Although so long since I set it up.) But everything works fine with the tp link. Its the eircom f2000 that is messin me around.
I enabled the upnp option, and then disabled it. Tried several configs. Weird thing was that some devices seemed to always see each other with issue, some could see some devices some of the time , was too erratic to rely on. Will revisit sometime.

reboot the f2000 n give it a go

It's the fibe optic cable router installed about 6 months ago, that's all I know. No absolutely nothing has been moved or touched. Strange:eek:

Just occurred to me the problem may lie in the PC used to view streams. It might under pressure for memory, processor usage, something might have changed on it. A stream to my PC was stalling even on SD the other night, same stream was fine to an android phone, so the box was delivering, just the PC was struggling. PCs get full of crap over time, background stuff running etc.

You could try Ccleaner

Clear out the cache and delete temp files its not bad for a freebie

That worked a treat, thanks! I have the f2000 modem and previously I just turned it off, but I did as you suggested and it worked.

I have a 23'' Acer Full HD monitor and my PC has 8Gb of ram. I am getting picture perfect quality on all channels.:D

Is there a cheap single tuner amiko box that will run these images?
I know Zardoz mhas images for another amiko but was hoping to get a box for bedroom that would be set up more or less the same way, and with amiko's top picture quality.
Any ideas which one to go for??

Does anyone else have their Enigma Crash consistently circa every 3 months without fail, resulting in having to reload the image from scratch everytime.

Have one of these installed for my buddy this is the 3rd time ive had to install again for him, (he is not familiar with the process) But each time it goes he turns it on and there is no picture but there is sound and everything is busted.

A reload of image again gets it right but its a ticking bomb..

Pretty sick of the Amiko at this stage.


What are my options to solve this for him.

Try a different image or look at the crash logs and see what's causing it. Could be a plugin or skin issue.

Yeah probably right about the image, Whats the latest stable one that most are using ? Possibly the skin now i think of it.

Need a basic Image and Basic skin recommendations so i can at least get this stable without the headaches.

It used to happen to me all the time until I installed Freshpots Hyperion V4.5 image with Sky skin. It has worked fine ever since for me and I think I installed it way back in March.

Would recommend v4.5, but not necessarily the sky skin, unless you wan something to look like a faux sky box. There are simpler skins that aren't as heavy on the box resources. And well, its not a sky box. I know its the familiarity thing, but why have symbols/logos and the such on your screen that aren't relavent .
But it does highlight one of the attractions of these systems that skins can be created. I remember when the folks on sattvhelp were developing the skin. Was a community effort. Interesting to see how well they got it. But it was just an exercise/challenge for them to see if they could replicate/clone the skin
Rant over, its a grand skin, but if your buddy has already broken away from sky, then try one of the other skins.

I use Zardoz Hyperion 4.5 and Magic HD night skin. Very stable setup. The Amiko has limited internal memory. Make sure EPG.dat and your picons (if used) are on external HD or USB stick. Also delete any unnecessary plugins.

I found the less tinkering I did with an image (adding or deleting plugins) and adopted the ''leave well enough alone'' policy, it stayed stable.:eek:

Just home and tuned it in. Not resolving ala TV3 HD. Is this to be behind the SKY HD paywall also? RTE Two HD is on a standard sub, the BAI having been forced to exert pressure as it was also on the sky HD package when first transmitted.

Rte 1 and 2 hd is freely available, TV3 HD ain't, think it's only on upc

Why would anyone depend on satellite to receive Irish channels that are freely available with an aerial? I suppose if you don't have a triple tuner..

Hi All,

I am running OpenPli and am looking for some assistance on how to load a Amiko WLN-850 wifi dongle driver to my box.
Currently when I go to the blue button / network / Wifi driver setup the select adapter driver option is blank.

Do I have to ftp a driver to the box ?
If this is so then can someone point me in the direction of where I can find the driver and also tell me where it should be placed when I ftp to the box.

Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated as I am the whole afternoon trying to figure this out.

you need to connect it to wifi and install the right railink drivers from the plugins and then go back and ativate them id say

When I go into plugins and select green button to add plugins, there is no drivers folder.

Where should I see the railink driver ?
Do I have to add these drivers to the box and install via green button ?

Could someone give me a briefing on how to set up soarview on Zardoz 4.5?
For a mate of mine as I've never bothered with it being in a black spot.
It's for cairn hill I believe is his transmitter

Then in last scanned highlight the channel you want to add to the favourites bouquet or saorview bouquet if you want to create one of those, press menu and add service to bouquet. When you have them all added. Go to the bouquet you added them to and press menu once again and enable move mode to sort them in the correct order.

This is the tutorial for the railiinks driver install. It's for OpenAtv but it should be the same for hyperion I reckon

Thanks for the feedback.

After watching the how to install wifi dongle video I cannot get past the green button install as there is no driver folder in the plugins to install window.

I need to get the Ralink RT5370 Chipset driver and then add it to the box.

I have googled for it but cannot seem to find this driver. Could some point me in the right direction where I can locate this online.

This thread seems to imply its possible with some fiddling. Link

Thanks for the suggestion Jim but still no luck.

When I go into the Wifi settings within the network blue button option there is no option to install any drivers.

I would have expected the Ralink RT5370 driver to listed here.

This leads me to believe that I have to add this driver to the box before I can activate it. The issue that I am having is that I cannot find a copy of this driver anywhere.
