    Every time I uninstall the external HDD and then install it again, the recordings get sorted in what looks like at random.
    I would like to know if there is a way to sort out the recordings according to my own preference (by date, by channel name, by title, etc).
    Also if this is possible with the newer versions of Ariva and which model.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello all,

    I am trying to setup my DTT channels (saorview) after a firmware upgrade.
    It finds the RTE channels, but there is no sound or video.
    The GUI identifies the channels with a K_Express 6A in brackets.

    It all worked just fine before the upgrade.

    Any ideas

    Ferguson Ariva 120 HD Combo
    v2.18B2

    thanks in advance

    Switch off the receiver using the mains switch at the back or just pull the mains plug out, if there is no switch in your model.
    Wait for few seconds and switch on again.
    When it is ready after the boot, check the DTT channels.
    If the problem exists, delete all the DTT channels and scan again.
    Hope this helps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 Daarrgh


    I have solved the problem by doing a factory reset and re-installing the firmware.
    I then installed the DTT channels before doing the sat channels and it worked.
    I tried doing this again to confirm the bug.
    When I installed sat channels first the DTT channels search came up with all the Saorview channels with the K_EXPRESS 6A suffix in brackets.
    No video. No sound.

    Like I said....installing the DTT channels first after a reset worked.

    Thanks for the help!

    With the start of Euro 2012 this Friday (tomorrow), I am wondering which TV Channels will be Transmitting the sport events.
    I know that ARD Das Erste is going to broadcast them FTA on Hot Bird, but I remember last time they switched off the channel completely for a whole month because of copyright issues transmitting over the Middle East. This year they would most probably do the same.
    Also ZDF changed the channel to something else during this month.
    Anyway, I am taking no chances this year and will be watching it on TVP Sport (Polish TV channel) that come on the basic package of TNK and NNK card using n CI Module which goes into one of the CI slots on the Ferguson Ariva HD Combo.
    Please give a list of how are you going to watch Euro 2012.
    Have an enjoyable time.

    Well as the majority of users on this forum are in Ireland the vast majority of viewers will be watching FTA on Saorview/Terrestrial via RTE, and for those watching on Satellite it will be FTA on 28.2(Astra 2) as ITV/BBC are sharing UK broadcasting rights.
    But there is a comprehensive list here of worldwide rights holders.

    Radio Channels

    I am new to this field, having recently bought an Ariva 120 Combo. I'm happy with the
    pre-installed list of TV Channels, but I note that the Radio Channel list is missing the main BBC Radio 1,2,3 and 4. How do I acquire these ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,285 ✭✭✭Peter Rhea


    Scan this transponder: 11954 mHz, horizontal pol., SR 27500.

    Also carries the BBC 'red button' interactive streams which can be viewed as extra channels.

    This thread is mainly about the first generation Ariva HD Combo.

    Try this thread for the 120, I've read a few posts about ASH on the display, not a good sign, but I don't have one myself, so can't be sure.

    I know I only posted this message a short while ago but it hasn't seemed to work in fact now my box won't even pick up a signal at all for the terrestrial channels nevermind tuning them back in, I've even reset the box but to no avail. I know there's a digital signal from the cable because the tv picks it up...

    Hi all. I just set this box up for some relatives. I just wondered if a third party firmware is used (for the unmentionable), is it true that the box won't then function as both a dvb-t/dvb-s combo? I seem to have read this somewhere and wondered if this has been fixed...

    Some of the older patched firmware removed the dvb-t function but newer versions rectified this.

    Perfect - thanks for confirming that - that's what I was hoping for. I don't want to infringe boards rules....but I just wondered if you (or any other boardsie reading) might be able to provide a link to a board where this aspect of the ariva can be discussed in further detail?

    Hi
    I cannot seem to get the L + R audio stereo connectors working on this box. I have tried connecting them to L + R on the tv and to an independent set of speakers with L + R connectors and still they don't work. Can someone please let me know if they have got them working and if so in what configuration. It works fine with scart but I have a dvi connector on the tv and was using a hdmi to dvi connector and wanted to use the L + R as dvi doesn't do sound
    Thanks

    They should just work, possibly there's a bad solder or something which is causing the problem.

    You could try a Scart to phono adaptor to get around this.

    Hi Guys

    I trying to locate the latest update firmware that includes the channel list for the Ferguson Ariva 220 Combo. I searched for ages and can't find :(

    Did anyone ever post a channel list for the 220HD combo? I keep having to reinstall channels.

    HELP HELP HELP, I Updated the firmware on my Ferguson Ariva HDCombo to try and help solve a problem with a new usb. After update couldn't tune terrestrial channels and for the first time could only record one channel and watch the same channel only (watch any channel before while recording). Tried reverting to default factory settings with no joy. So contacted Tony (satelite.ie) he said to do firmware update again and go to factory defaults again. So did this and I now can’t tune in either terrestrial or satellite? Astra 2 sat can't be seen anymore either. Please help:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,339 ✭✭✭✭Tony


    You need to select astra 2 in the satellite list first before you try re tuning although the terrestrial should work straight away

    Was unable to select Astra 2 or even see it. Could see Astra 1 and some other unfamiliar sat. When I go to tune the terrestrial there's zero signal/quality strength.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,339 ✭✭✭✭Tony

    have you selected the correct frequency ? You wont see any signal strength unless this is set for the correct transmitter.

    I'll check again tonight. Is normal for these sort of problems after a firmware update? Is there any sort of reset button on the sat box?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    Anyone have an up to date channel list they could share? After digging this box out to use it again and can't get BBC Three after a search or two

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    OK, no reply and then I got bored and the attached is the result.
    Note, no BBC One HD or BBC HD - need to work on those but hopefully someone might find it useful.

    Irish DTT from Three Rock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    Had another look and added BBC One NI HD, BBC HD and BBC One HD.
    Cleaned up channel list, removed a lot of what I thought was crap.
    Haven't touched radio stations list really

    Again, Irish DTT is from Three Rock - easy to rescan though

    Hopefully someone will have a use for this :) The STB is 3~ years old now but still going semi strong. Will upgrade in the coming months so this will be the last channel list I will post I'd say.

    Make sure the Ariva is only switched on after the TV is switched on.

    Its called HDCP (handshaking) and is a common fault with some TVs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 Daarrgh


    I'm not sure I understand what we did differently for the first time in a year, but.........

    ....THAT WORKED!!!

    Brilliant!

    Thank you very much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭victory10


    I had for sometime a problem with the Ariva HD Combo receiver.
    There is a popup right in the middle of the screen that says "No channel!" even when there is an FTA channel showing. The popup is permanent and is very annoying as I can't watch any program.
    I use the receiver now only for testing, but it would be nice to have it working again.
    If anyone had a similar problem, please suggest a solution.
    Running the latest firmware S030_2012-07-16 and have tried factory default few times without success.

    Sorry to drag up an old thread.... I have bought an ariva 4k combo box and there is a lip sync issue. Albeit only a very slight one. I have a hdmi connection into tv and this lead was fine with my old technistar stb. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's firmware is up to date I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,339 ✭✭✭✭Tony


    Probably best to start a new thread (more guys will see your post) as this one is for the now discontinued original ariva combo.
