Saorview not working on Enigma 2

piddlyd

Hi I recently purchased an Amiko alien 2 box. I upgraded to enigma 2 images (both ARP and one from TV trade). I tried following Tv trade's instructions for installing the enigma 2 image but kept getting the following error message:
"Failed: STBID unmatch" when trying to upgrade from usb > the app+Db+plugin, and cant go any further. I know what my STB ID is obviously, so i dont know why this error message comes up - do i have to modify files before trying this option?

After much looking around on the web i came across an official Amiko produced file which i used to successfully get the ARP Enigma 2 Image loaded on, but it will not scan in any of the saorview channels. It will show the rte channels after an auto scan, but these are all scrambled and are from the astra satellite (i.e. sky's channels). i've selected a manual and automatic scan on the terrestial feed alone and no joy. The saorview channels worked ok on spark OS before i uploaded the enigma 2 image and also work ok on an in-built tv tuner in another room in the house, so signal strength is not a problem.

Has anybody else any problems with scanning terrestial fed saorview channels on an enigma two image or are there some settings somewhere that i have to change in order to be able to scan-in the saorview channels?

v. annoying....want HD saorview and 7 day EPG on UK FTA channels, but at the moment its either one or the other - booting from spark or from the enigma image.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

change your heading, its that box that is wonky not an enigma 2 image. did you rean through the big thread on the amiko alien TRIPLE tuner? thats a hard box to master. you should ensure it has a dtt tuner.

saw your post on satellite as well

same ol sh1te

There's a big Amiko Alien 2 thread in this very forum, you should ask your questions there. There's also some very good enigma images put together by some Boards members.

Thanks lads for your replies. i've put the post up on that large thread there to see if i can get a response there. I've read through a lot of that thread (it is over 300 posts) and i can't find anythign in relation to saorview not working on enigma 2.
The box does have a DTT tuner - as i said i can get the saorview channels ok on the factory installed Spark OS.
I've tried Champions Enigma 2 image, but still get the same problem
