Using Deezell's tutorial I can set up and schedule a cron job but when the box switches off and turns back on crond doesn't seem to run from boot. I'm using Hyperion 5.5 but as Deezell's guide was for Hyperion 4.5 I'm guessing the solution is similiar if not identical.

Check a sample of received channels, use info to see their frequency and polarity, this will indicate if they are all H or V polarity, or else all above or below the 11.7 Ghz band split. If you see either pattern, then your lnb is faulty or your box signalling up the cable is amiss. Check received signal level also, your dish may be misaligned causing the loss of some but not all TPS.

Some channels are coming up with this error: Service unavailable!: Check tuner configuration Not all channels have it BBC ITV etc are working but others arent. I only have one tuner in use and the other two are turned off in Tuner Configuration. I downloaded a new satellite xml and tried rescanning channels and put different images on the box. not sure what to do. Anyone seen this before?

Edit your event file to a future time, say a few minutes away, and resubmit it with the same command, 'crontab /hdd/myevent' or whatever path and filename you used. After the event time has passed, the file named in the event should be deleted. I'm assumimg that the the crond daemon runs in the background when the box is booted. I typed the command 'crond' which in effect runs the busybox binary which implements crond, I assume this is running on startup.

Have scanned all the published TP's for BBC four that are published by both the BBC and Lyngsat. Has anyone else come across this? have every other BBC channel, its just that channel is missing. Have they taken this service off air similar to BBC three or am i missing somehting?

I was 1 click away from buying a new box. In the end I re-flashed with a backup of Hyp instead of openATV. It changes the initial boot logo so I assume it rewrites something else at a very low level. Hyp 5.1 and Spark now back to normal. EDIT: reflashing with a know good image of openATV didn't cure it.

One of the plugins is called iptv, i went onto this with a good deal of skepticism, but everything works on it. Ok not everything, but 9 out of 10 times everything works. Is this available for our box?

I use the video.elf file from a HDMU image ,I find the picture better on my plasma .The Hyperion video.elf file gives too dull an image ,the gamma is far too high. I just tried v2.2 of the History zap selector,that's the latest one but it causes the box to hang when activated.
