That box looks brilliant. Very tempting!! Wonder how many years before it is out

My supplier says available from June

He says there's new full range of Amiko boxes, from single to triple tuners. Being Android based opens up a whole new world for Spark. I'm excited

Agueroooo · 24-04-2014 4:11pm

first impressions was it looks like a clock radio

TheChevron · 24-04-2014 5:02pm

Only 1 lnb input? So only 1 tuner?

Is this not a step backwards?

There are several variants, this is only one and probably the first to be released to test the waters. If you look at the installation images you will see multiple tuner support

Agueroooo · 24-04-2014 5:09pm

is SPARK2 a big upgrade?

anywhere to see it in action, or is it only being released when this stb does?

all the bells & whistles and all the reason why we flash the A2 with another image seem to be already installed out-of-the-box with the A3.

I am thinking there may not be a reason to use another image if SPARK2 is up to scratch - early days but.

Spark2 is not available yet. Looks like it's a major overhaul to Spark with it being ported to Android, this is a big move away from dual boot Spark/Enigma and opens more doors with Android app support, XBMC, games etc. It's also a huge move away from SH4 architecture to Arm (Cortex 9). It's the right move that will have better support and plenty of goodies in future (think wearables, tell your watch what channel to change to

)

Hi Guys,

quick question, planning to connect 2tb hDD to amiko box, is it better to format it fully for linux partition - will I have access to HDD from windows computers? can I use this HDD as media storage for windows or is it better to do 2 partitions one windows second linux one? In this case will 'windows PC's have full access to Windows partition?

You could go one ext3 and Samba will allow any pc to access the whole thing

12 month sub is definitely looking a bad option after today!

Slevster · 24-04-2014 8:27pm

So the new alien will be like an android stick with an dvb tuner built in and a spark 2 app? the specs for the chip doesn't seem like its over powered.

This was always coming with HD, SD will be fine for now until they start giving out free boxes to SD customers

Slevster · 24-04-2014 10:23pm

I left sky because, the only channels I watched were the Irish channels, bbc's and channel 4's. The reason I got the box , is because I can have the soarview and freesat channels on the one box, and be recordable. this box gives me that and I now have more channels in HD (most of the bbc's, RTE 1, channel 4's and ITV's) than I had on Sky. But for no monthly sub. There will be no changes to these despite what may be happening to other services.

Nowso · 24-04-2014 10:46pm

SD on History isnt to bad !!

Nforce · 24-04-2014 10:48pm

Only just took out a new 12 month sub last week. Not the end of the world if I lose out on a few HD channels.

Either way, if I get even one months viewing I'm covered.

FlexMcMurphy · 24-04-2014 10:57pm

In PKT to turn off a channels audio narration I press the red button then select "AC3 English" but when I stream that same channel to my laptop using OpenWebIf the narration is still there. Does anyone know how to turn off narration when streaming?

Cheers,

Flex

FlexMcMurphy · 24-04-2014 11:15pm

In OpenWebIf Settings>AV Settings I've got 'AC3 downmix' checked and in 'Auto language selection' I have tried separately and together checking the 'Prefer AC3' and 'Prefer audio stream stored by service' checkboxes and rebooting but no success.

What channel are you trying it on?
I have tried a few but, am not getting the nar audio.

FlexMcMurphy · 24-04-2014 11:47pm

One of the HD Movie channels. I'll see if an SD version is the same.

Got same result as you afterwards.
Will change the audio.e@# file tonight. It may solve some other audio issues too.

Just bought this box yesterday and am a bit shocked with how complicated it all is. Thought I knew what I was letting myself in for, but the whole thing is just way too buggy for me. I don't think the rest of the family would have a hope of being able to use it!

It can be a bit of a nightmare when you first start into it, but after a while you'll be flying. just stick with it!!!

Tell us what you are doing and what bugs you are encountering, it's pretty straightforward once you have done it once

It would be an awful pity to see this thread closed but if people continue to blatantly post about illegal activities I can see it becoming a strong possibility.

I have sent some PM's asking folks to be more careful recently. Not my place to do it perhaps, but I don't want to see this place closed.
There are plenty of other very good forums out there, where all topics can be discussed freely

It's plug and play with Spark! I waited for a couple of months just using Spark and then dipped my toe into Enigma a few months back without any major glitches!:cool:

Ditto for me, it is a great combo box with 7day epg etc
Unfortunately if the other features disappear then the level of support is likely to reduce as fewer will be using the box

The level of support will drop when the next box comes along anyway, besides the other features are not disappearing, only HD, but it's been well known this would happen eventually, Sly have been pushing new HD boxes with their new firmware and offering upgrade deals to get people to change. Anyone who bought this box in the last 6 months and didn't know about this was either badly advised or didn't do their research properly

cork_south · 25-04-2014 10:24pm

Anyone getting movies on tsmedia stuttering?
I'm using TTGs Hv3
YouTube works fine but 1 channel and ice films in ts media are unwatchable.
It's not my broadband as ice films\1channel works perfect on my laptop
