You could certainly copy the channel list
I have an amiko alien 2 and a vu+duo2
I was able to use dreamboxedit to copy the same channel list to both boxes without issue

but I doubt you could copy the whole image without causing problems
But no doubt someone more knowledgeable may chip in and prove me wrong :-)

Hyperion 4.5 is still pretty good

Is there an updated version? Or is it unreliable on Amiko? What skin can you get that had same numbers as sky e.g E4 136

I GOT IT IN THE END, oops sorry capslock,

I was using the wrong plugin, there were 2 e2upgrade plugins and i was using the wrong one, i could only put the file specific to the box onto it tho, i tried my own backup and it just got stuck in boot, thanks for your help

taytobreath

a few questions

how do i transfer my channel list to the other box

i have an internal hard drive that i took out of a sky box, is it possible to use that as a storage device for the box

Not that familiar with that particular box but googling pictures it looks fairly compact so I dont imagine you would fit a full size 3.5in disk from a sky box in to it
But if you were to buy a hdd enclosure from fleabay or somewhere like that
just format the drive as fat 32 plug it into the usb port and should work fine

I did same for my duo 2 old sky box drive but the duo 2can take the disk internally

as for transferring the channel list
download dreamboxedit plug a network cable from your router into the rear lan port of the box

on your box In menu / network see what ip address your box has been assigned

Connect with dreamboxedit and sort your channels whatever way you like when finished make a backup in dreamboxedit
you can transfer that backup to your other box

Yes there are newer versions of hyperion
I still use 4.5 on Alien 2 and it works fine no problems at all for me

It does not really matter which version you use its up to you which one you like best
try a few of them and see which you like

If you use dreambox edit you can easily renumber the channels to be whatever you like
Its also possible to do it with webif when connected to your box on network if you dont like dreamboxedit

I just use 1 boquet with all channels in it starting with
1 RTE 1
2 RTE 2
3 TV 3
4 TG 4
5 UTV HD
6 BBC 1 HD

And so on

But if you use autoboquet maker ABM it will reorder the channels as it likes and undo your channel order
But ABM may already the the channels in same order as sky I dont use ABM so not sure about that

The best image is subject to debate. Hyperion 4.5 up or Vix4 project. Epg is a seperate issue. You can use whatever generic epg is provided with the image, or use a plugin like crossepg, the nations favourite. Finally, channel lists and groups ( bouquets) can be manually assembled using the image channel editing features, or again with the aid of plugins, such as Autobouquets, or AutobouquetsMaker. These will produce Sky like numbering schemes. Final flourish if you wish is to change the image Skin, the look of the interface, to give a sky box like user interface if that is what you want. Skins are also a third party download, though the basic image will have at least a few to choose from.

For the golden media triple, same box as the amiko. I've not used it. I preferred the early hyperion image posted by Zardoz, just tweaked for your own terrestrial, channell lists and hdd. I'll double check that I have the right link.

I think it's the right link, it's an enigma 2 folder with the effs and ulmage in it, I downloaded it twice and tried everything I could think of, it goes fine upgrading on spark but as soon as I try to boot it up on enigma it sits on boot, I left it for 10 mins to be sure!

Apologies, Thats the link for the single tuner box. Heres the triple;

@Deezell are you sure that's the right build? They have a separate one listed for 7162 boxes.
