However after doing a bit of skin surfing recently I have found than when I went back to sky hd skin I have no info on the saorview channels in the channel guide or cool epg, but its there when I press the info button. I downloaded cross epg again, reloaded it and even did a force reload from the plugins but without sucess. I have no idea what to do next so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I also tried the vix image but found navigating the menues impossible as the cursor would wander erratically through the selections before stopping on a seletion other than required so i had to give up on it. Funnily enough I think I had the same problem with an open tv image about a year ago which resulted in me starting with hyperion in the first place. Overall enigma is worth it but does need patience at times:D

However when I stream it over network, I have 100Mb upload from the box, wired, and I've 56Mb download on my laptop wired, and it will freeze every 30 seconds, and if I hit pause then play it starts again fine. What can I do to stream better? Do I need to change the upload settings on the box or something? I've tried playing with the network streaming options in VLC but it seems to be the same. Many thanks, Niall

Many thanks, Niall 100 and 56, are these internet test speeds? These would not be relevant when streaming from box to laptop over wired. The router is just being used as an ethernet switch. Freezing is more like to be something in the box or laptop which is interrupting the process. Are you using the link from the box webif page? Try streaming to a different device, an android phone or tablet say. You might need to install vlc or mxplayer on the device if it's own media player doesn't work. While my streaming is all over wireless, I had difficulty with hd streams only. Since changing router this is not a problem anymore, so the bottleneck was in the switch, not the box or the android device. If you can borros a small 4 port ethernet switch from somewhere this will take the packer switching away from your router and show if the problem is there.

I'm in work at the moment on 200Mb download and the exact same thing happens. What settings can I change on my box/router back home to try sort out the streaming as I assume it's an issue with the box if it's not working streaming to my flat or to my office (both start fine but freeze after 10 - 15 seconds).

The signal/box goes black every few minutes. Sound and video goes and them comes back. The TV is showing the HDMi channel in the corner so I'm not sure if he problem s the box or TV. Pretty sure it's the box. Have reflashed the image and checked cable and stuff. Using Zards4.5 i think. Currently watching a match on a certain sports channel and it's just blacking out every like 30 seconds. The box is using WiFi. Brought my power plugs over and going to try them in a bit incase it's a WiFi problem.

TheDoc wrote: » Cables and connections were one of the first things I checked and all is fine. The TV itself is fine, ran a movie through the USB port and no issues. The box itself is also fine when I set the box back to factory settings and run through freeview channels. Just seems like something I'd expect others to have experienced. I know I havn't, but with the boxes being so popular, nothing on google or other forums returns a result of anyone experiencing this. I'm having him ring the store he bought from to see if they have come across it, and if not to source a replacement box.

Reflashed with Hyperion 5.4 and it has a new lease of life. Tested the basics - scanning saorview - scanning freesat - crossepg - recording now - scheduled recording - playing back recorded videos ( from Alien Amiko and external AVIs on my NAS box ) - mounting linux network drives - accessible via Dreamdroid App on android to set recordings - copying & pasting previous channel list from DreamEdit ( bouquet editor ) All good so far. thanks.

Don't forget to run a scan of autobouquets also after the satellite scan.
