Probably an lnb issue alan .
Certain channels are on vertical polarity and others horizontal ,they require different voltages to be sent from the box to switch between them.
I have seen cases where the lnb develops an issue and cant provide the required voltage so you get no signal.
It may resolve itself or you could try switching the lnb input on the dish if you have another one free.

ya was thinking its was a lnb issue.all the inputs are taken up so i might switch them around and see what happens.i have a octo lnb too would that cos the problem

ok guys what skin do ye think is the best

yes I wanted to power on the TV using the Amiko red power button. I knew that you could get the TV to switch to the HDMI connection if it was already powered on. Can hdmi-cec also cycle power on the tv? I have a Panasonic Viera TV

Yes, if your model allows. Go into the hdmi-cec manger and enable (in the blue panel on the pkt images). Then go through the various options there. Should be one for toggling power on your TV.

Hi guys, I bought a GM Triplex last week from a local shop with the enigma 2 already set up and I did the other easier tasks for channels, hard drive ,epg etc

Everything was quick and responsive when in the menus or when changing channels although some options further into menus would cause a crash when trying to select. Last night I was looking around and seen the open ATV image was from July 14 so I presumed there was a few updates on it since then so selected to update this through the menu option .I tried to backup my data before I did this but it was one of the options that kept crashing the box unfortunately.
Update went fine and when rebooting the load up image was now the open ATV one instead of the Sky HD one that was preset on it. Channels were a bit slower loading up and were freezing intermittently but thought this would clear up but it kept happening until the box would freeze completely. It would follow the pattern of freezing but loading a couple of times until a freeze roughly 4 mins in would stall the entire box. It was even at the stage I couldn't get into the setup menu before the full freeze due to the slowness of the menu getting to it. Today when I got to try fix it I started by booting in spark and there's no problems with its response time or changing.
I eventually got in to delete the EPG,clear cache and delete a few plugins that I had downloaded before I restarted the GUI. On launch channels loaded up quicker and everything looked like it was back to normal. When changing stations I noticed it was still a second or two slower than it previously was and after a few minutes watching one station it would have a few freezes to load and then continue on. Menu seemed OK but then I went from 101 to 501 and it literally took about 5 minutes of loading before the channel came on and the menu was very slow once it did free up.
Just went into the info and the update only brought it up to drivers from 03/08/14 when I thought it would have brought it upA bit newer than that. The version is 4.1, kernel 2.6.32.61_stm240_215. Unfortunately I don't have computer at the house at the minute to flash new image on to so is there anything else I can do in the meantime to try and resolve these issues?
Also what was the version from July last year so I can revert to that or is there a more recent update and stable than the one I have installed at the minute? ( just as I'm finishing writing the channel which has been on with no problems for the last while has frozen and hasn't moved for about 10mins...just after freeing up now)

Maybe the best short term fix would be to get the shop to flash it tomorrow to whatever version they had originally put on if can't figure it out tonight as probably won't have computer for week or two!

This is on the Alien 1 ? ,as I havent uploaded my 4.5 Alien 2 backup here yet.

Hey zardoz do you upload backups on different sites?

Just a question, Hyperion V4.5 swap file on or off?:eek:

On Hyperion 4.5 and Vol + and - and mute has stopped working... a reboot hasn't resolved it

Any ideas to resolve appreciated

Did you enable hdmi-cec? If so, did you change some option for your volume?
Did you change option on the audio output in menu-setup-av settings (have a look in there and try changing the ac3 or other formats. Change pcm options. Not at the box atm , hense the vagueness. But play around with the settings in there. You won't break anything!)
Is it the remote itself malfunctioning? Dropped? Spillage? Batteries?

Anyone know where boot logos are stored on hyperion 4.5 and openatv 4.3?

Hi guys my friend setup my aloen 2 box for me. I just wanted to check what image is on it but when I went to check it said "image information unavailable"
Any easy way to find out?

its /boot on Hyperion ,not sure with Openatv as they have a different file structure.

@Championc ,did Openatv sort the recording issue on multiple tuners yet ?
There was a modified pti.ko file released a while back that sorted the issue on HDMU ,I was wondering did Openatv implement it in their updates ?

Yeah found it on Hyperion. On open atv as Harcrid said above there was one bootlogo in usr/share so I put my new one there. It comes up on boot alright but another one displays before it so there must be another one somewhere else.

General question if anyone would know, is there a way to set which bouquet to display at startup on the cool tv guide, version 7.3?

are there many lads using multi sat???
