Do you happen to know if there is an AutoBouquets for hyper 4
& will it work if I have all my channels in 1 favorites bouquet

Thanks for your help

It's in your plugins

thanks for the quick reply but cant find it in my plugins or downloadable plugins
have checked twice
Maybe i need to go to specsavers after all :-)

The image that I am using is not a backup of the images here
and I think I uninstalled a lot from it when I put it on the box

Thanks

Quickest option is to flash a v4 from here, unless someone has an AutoBouquets plugin they can put up.

Thanks Hallo Dare
I will leave it alone so as I am really happy with the way it is setup at the mo
just thought it might save me retuning channels from time to time
Thanks again :-)

No problem. You can always do a backup of your own and flash v4 and see how you go.

Thats the Metrix HD skin ,prefer PLi HD myself which I couldnt find in the download server .

I tried it earlier,got a good bit of stuff running on it but had to give it up as had to paint the tv room.

I was very impressed with what I saw,very nice and stable.
OpenATV images are probably my favourite.

Was there a sky skin in there Zardoz? May download and install one if there isn't.

I didnt see one,highly unlikely ,I'd imagine a skin like that would have copyright issues and wouldnt be on a plugins server.

Just bear in mind this image is still a pre release beta so it might be buggy.

Big time. It really has come on a long way!

I've been using FreshPots Hyperion V4 image and it has suddenly got very 'buggy'!

It gets stuck on a channel and no amount of pushing buttons on the remote will shift it. I have turned it off and back on again and it works for a while again. When it is stuck on a channel it works perfectly except I can't change the channel or change the volume! Reverted to Spark for the moment!:eek:

I have set mine so that when I do a short press of the power button on the remote it goes to shutdown not ( false standby )and then when switched back on it does a full boot every time and dont have any problems with lag or slow response
Also there is no autoboquets installed nor any picons
just a very bare image

Cheers, itching to try this

I got this wifi stick but cannot get it to work in a few of the images linked from this thread. I tried enabling the drivers in Blue Panel- one of them allowed wifi access points to be detected but if I tried to connect to one it just exited. Any ideas?

You don't say what box or what image your using at the moment
does it work in spark ?
just to rule out a faulty item

Also could be a good time to test out the new OpenAtv image posted by Givecredit above
might be a better driver in that

wifi sticks are run on gereally 3 different chipsets on some enigma 2 images you need to choose to activate the drivers for your specific dongle chipset

most of them are raillink5070 i think it is just check your dongle details

you then need to go into network and activate wifi lan

and in use interface and enter all you wifi sid and password and encryption type etc can be a bit awkward to set up

I tried all that I think- activated all the drivers included in the images, looks like I need to install a different driver but I dont know where to find it.

Loaded it up on my box and it seems like it could be a good image in the future but as its still in beta its quite buggy. Also having similar issues with saorview as I had with champs ar-p image. Sometimes one mux works, sometimes 2 do but I'm getting picture breakup on mux 2 when it does work. Good to see the ondemand plugin working. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this image but for now I'll stick with H4.

Same as that! Hv4 will do perfect for now. To be fair, it does all i want of it!

Yeah I will be sticking with Hyperion 4 for the time being too ,its an excellent image but needs a bit of tweaking and modifications to get it to where I want it.

Current mods I have are an extended keymapper,amixer audio boost,replacement teletext font,history zap selector and record infobar .
Its running brilliantly now ,the only issue I have is sometimes with recording but I think that could be a hard drive issue.

Openatv have alot of plugins and functions like history zap selector built in so its a much more user friendly image .
They have alot of plugins on their download server too ,so not as much need to ftp stuff in .

The openatv image does allow for some nicer features such as Ondemand plugin and a better now, next later epg amongst other things so once it's stable I'll definitely be switching.

Hyperion v4 does what it does well but openatv seems more advanced.

You can get a similar epg layout on Hyperion with a few teaks .

should be fine its awkward setting up enigma 2 via wifi as all the images are set for wireless as defalt

i think its hyperion 4 u were using . u need to go into bluepkt setting and activate settings for it there aswell as tne network settings

its takes a bit of getting as its different on different images
