Tiviar Alpha Plus Combo STB

Thanks so much, am using openATV version 6.1. Not great with the tech!

I have all the info except the line with the Skin details. I looked around and only name for skin I can see is "default". I have been usung the High Horse Brigade set up, and changed nothing.

OK i have an idea of the skin this is what I want you to do, menu setup reception signal finder, u have to press ok each time.

When you get to signal finder it will be on tuner A and will show a signal level, agc and ber. There will be a blue bar on tuner A ie its highlighted , use down arrow to scan type , it will say predefined, use right arrow to change it to user defined, arrow down to system, right arrow to make it DVB-S2, arrow down to frequency and use remote keys to enter 12382, next line will say auto, next symbol rate, use remote keys to enter 29500, polarisation use arrow right to change to horizontal, FEC make auto with arrow key, modulation should say 8psk if not use arrow key , roll off make auto , pilot auto . By now you will have a signal press green button to scan and as there are quite a few channels on that frequency a lot will appear but look for the 2 you want. select DMAX press OK and then exit. you should have a picture, press ok and arrow up . see if pic is the same

You never said which pic matched and I was going to show you how to add the new channels to your bouquet or better still to the favourites but you may know already.

To find new channel details when they change use this

Hi,

it's been a good while since I last checked in here but I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have had a Tiviar box for a few years and originally wrote here asking for advice relating to a problem with the box re. an Online Version Check error message that pops up onscreen from time to time. I'm still having problems and don't know how to get rid of it for good as every time I try to do a software update the box keeps shutting down and rebooting, which is pretty annoying.

Would the entire box have to be reset or is there something that can be done to prevent me from doing that? I have a lot of recordings that I haven't backed up as I think the box will just shut down and reboot all over again if I attempt to do a backup.

Reflashing should not alter recordings on a Hard Drive as only a reformat would erase them.

Never format and Reflash with a new image and setup from scratch. Make sure epg is set to HDD or usb.

When boxes have issues always best to start from scratch.

No just install new image ,latest images are Beta and advised not to use .

Reflashing overwrites everything and RESET screws the box up so not advised.

Read back a page or 2 might mention 6.5? to use?

Is 3Rock your local transmitter and I think my active 5v feed is off.

I only use ABM and it works as 1 am it updates

The Website is wrong.

Dublin 3 Rock is your correct setting for Tallaght.

I was chasing my tail as well using Kippure instead of 3 Rock because of that crappy website.

Never trust an Irish Website , they are rarely updated and never corrected. It just doesnt seem to have sunk in how important they are to business these days in this country.

Did you swap boxes over to see if the Amiko box is working or not at the Tiviar end.

We need to see if it is a feed issue with signal.

Does signal finder give you a % of strength your getting.

Yes enable 5v on mine set to off.

I was going to do a screenshot of the page but for some unknown reason webif is not working or changing channels as it normally did.

Ok so I'm poking around with ABM and this message is showing...is there a way to update ABM to version 3.4 if it's stable?

I have to find out how to update the ABM file..it's been a while judging by the version I'm on atm.

I'm OpenATV 6.3

Hi Im out at the moment..I think I'm using Openwebif?
