    That is a strange problem alright.

    Could it be a Vu+ clone?

    You can take it that you have a hardware problem. Possibly flash, probably power. Check the voltage on the TX pin of the rj12 serial port, use an old telephone lead to access. You should get -5 to -9 volts. I note that the HDMI doesn't connect post power on, and the nic goes blank, could be indicative of insufficient power/ voltage. Plug everything out, hdd, usbs, boot , see if front display goes through it's normal cycle.

    Believe it's impossible to do :(

    I'll have a chat with the lad and see what he wants to do. He said it's out of warranty so he might just buy a new box.

    No idea if it works but try this.

    Must fire up the DVB-C/T tuner on my Mutant HD2400.
    I may have an old play TV tuner going spare soon ;)

    Nope, Play TV only does DVB-T, the tuner module in the mutant will do C as well not that there is anything Free to view there.
    I had actually completely forgotten that I had the C/T module in my receiver and only when I was on a cabling project today did I remember it.
    It means I get to clear out a box and a couple of cables from the A/V rack ;)

    On pkt enigma2 theres a config file lircd.conf in /etc which has a variable 'eps' usually set to 45 or 60, changing this down was supposed to increase sensitivity of the remote

    Update .

    I saw it mentioned on another site and said I'd try it out.
    Opened up the remote and took out the contact card and scribbled over each contact with a pencil.

    Once I put the remote back together the difference is unbelievable. A few videos on YouTube.

    Brilliant tip for refurbishing a dodgy remote. Heres another, put your phone camera on front view, (selfie mode), and point the remote at it and operate the buttons. You will see the infra red led flash as camera sensors can see this light. Dodgy buttons will show up as not flashing or flashing intermittently. Quick and dirty test for any remote.

    I've noticed the past few days that Autobouquets has started to delete some custom bouquets I have created, before it didn't.

    Any ideas on how to sort this out?

    Have you them below Favourites (Tv). As far as I know they won't be touched if they are below but if they are above they will be wiped when it updates.

    Tried it there again and popped my bouquet right at the end, re-ran Autobouquets and it got deleted again.

    I'm running Wooshbuild on a Zgemma so using the re-flash function to see if I can revert to an older version of Autobouquets as it was working fine before.

    Ah that's autobouquetsmaker then afaik. Go into service searching - autobouquetsmaker - make sure setup mode is expert and make sure "Keep all non-ABM bouquets" is set to yes and press green to save.

    Thanks, Wooshbuild doesn't appear to have autobouquetsmaker, cannot find it anywhere, I'm using eChannelizer to load the bouquet. However it appears to be sort of working now with the re-flash, although it's duplicating some bouquets.

    The main thing though is that at least my bouquet is staying there at the bottom.
