    Also have the same problem - RTE1 RTE2 TG4 and a few other random channels showing in providers list but when clicked on - "Tune Failed" message appears. Majority all other channels are perfect including Sky Sports & Sky Movies.
    Several scans and new bouquets added but to no avail.

    Go to your satellite finder and make sure you have signal on both tuners. Go to tuner a and b.

    All channel list only shows the affected channels once so still have the same error there.


    I have only one feed into Tuner A and Tuner B is set to Loopthrough A. I have signal of approx 89 on Tuner A at the moment

    Have you got a feed looping threw tuner b? Try setting it not configured if you can and see if the problem is there.

    RTE One Frequency is 12265 H 27500 5/6
    Do a manual scan and see if its picked up.

    Affected channels finally showed once a second feed was installed and connected to Tuner B. Tuner B still set to Loopthrough Tuner A so its a funny one. All is working fine since

    I always as a rule of thumb turn off second tuner if it doesn't have two live lnb connected. One lnb feed really messes with enigma 2 from my experience.

    Likewise. If I don't turn off the Tuner B (when I have one feed only), I am not able to download the epg.

    Yep and channels not tuning and extremely slow menus.

    Anyone have any lip sync problems with this? Mine has developed a lipsync and I can't get rid of it at all.

    I have mine just over a year now and have never had lip sync problems, two friends have one also and they have never mentioned any issues. Wouldn't have a clue what would cause that, can't find any relevant setting in my box running on Vix.

    I use Blackhole on mine and have a USB tuner with no issues. Other people have great things to same about OpenVix, especially the Hades version.

    If it was me, I'd go for the latest release on the site and if I didn't like it I'd throw the latest Hades on it afterwards, shouldn't take long to flash the box.

    what are you running?

    Blackhole 3.0, it's rock solid and I don't have the time to put another image on it as it's the main TV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 429 ✭✭Blowheads


    you have a link to that image set?
    does it come preloaded with ABM, CrossEPG, etc?

    It doesn't come pre-loaded with a lot of software which is 1 of the main reasons I got it, I mainly use my box as a Plex player so I cut everything else out.

    Totally agree. BH is a rock solid image.

    I have always reverted back to hyperion I'm currently using 5.2 with the slyk skin and it just works never a crash or freeze or anything it Just always works only thing it misses is kodi.

    I've been trying to setup series link using AutoTimer on my Vu Solo2 running Blackhole. When I set it up, put in the constraints and run it, it correctly sets the recording for Match of the Day (for example). However, the following Saturday, I then have to open the AutoTimer plugin and run it again to pick out MOTD for the following week.

    Is this how the plugin is supposed to work? or is there a way to set it to scan once per week for the relevant shows?

    Im Using hyperion but I think it's same for yours.
    Go into timers then auto timers and press menu and go into setup and see if that's set to poll automatically and only poll when in standby is disabled

    When u edit timer.
    You select whether recording is
    Once off or repeat.
    When u set repeat u have the option to select daily/ weekly ect.
