Tiviar Alpha Plus Combo STB

Any standard coax lead that fits the connection on the box and TV will work.

It's the push-on type coax lead you need (not the threaded F type which is for satellite).

Perfect thanks for that..

I see another thread on this forum about Freesports Channel, is this channel available through the Tiviar? Is it just a matter of searching for it?
If anyone on here knows it would be great?

Also having some trouble pairing the tiviar remote with my tv, anyone done this or had any issues? Basically just for powering off and volume reasons?

Hello.
I have used THHB's image in the past when i got my new box and thank you for that.
I had a Zgemma before and used Wooshbuild 5/6/7 but it was getting slow and crashing a lot so i got the Tiviar but Wooshbuild did not do a build/image for it.
I was checking another forum site about Wooshbuild and he/she now does one for this box and i have installed it and it's just like what my old Zgemma used to look like.
It didn't take that long to flash either and it looks really good.
I hope this maybe of help to people who get this box and are not sure what to do.

That looks interesting. How does it run?

For me it runs ok. Just like when i used it on my old Zgemma Star S.
I am in England and use the box for Sky, UK freeview and IPTV and i put in a 320gb hard drive 1 week ago and apart from 1 crash it has been great.
Woosh has done this build called Infinity for a lot of Enigma2 boxes running ATV 6.1 and 6.2 i think.
I am not sure if forum users know of him/her and the Wooshbuild build/images but there is a lot of Wooshbuild threads on another forum site i go on and it has been very helpfull to me in the past as has Boards.ie also.
I did not know what the rules are about telling other users on here about this build and the other site and that is why i have not mentioned it.
Also thank you for letting me use your image/build in the past.

Hi,

I've THHB image running on my STB.

Anyone know what I need to enable to allow my STB to read files from other devices on my network ?

Also how do I stop the weather and clock showing every time I change channel ?

Cheers.

Can I ask what's the point of the USB Stick Storage add-on option of WoS for this?

I've installed HDDs before on PCs so I'm presuming a self-install on this is worth the savings (£40 for 500GB is expensive considering you can get a decent 1TB on Amazon for £36) - no surprises when you open the box?

I keep getting conflicts on timers / autotimers even though there were only two set to record. One on ITV and one on ITVBe. Just wondering why that would be?

Regards
JB

Have you definitely got both tuners set up and enabled, with a signal on both?

I thought i did. See screenshots attached, any ideas if i am doing something wrong?

I just can't seem to get my head around the timers. There was one thing set to record on ITV and nothing else, and the box jumped to that channel and I couldn't watch anything else. It was the only thing recording.

When setting up an autotimer you pick a start and end time for the box to look for matches, so i was wondering if two autotimers were being looked for at the same time would this use up a tuner? This may not be making sense?!!


Also is there any way to see where the conflicts are?? if message comes up saying there is a conflict?

Also not able to live pause on some things? Is this normal?

Sorry for all the problems, would appreciate it if someone could help.

You've got two cables from your dish going into the box, right? One to each tuner? If so, I'd try setting up the tuners again - unless you're doing something complicated I don't think they need to be on 'Advanced' mode. I'd set it to Auto for both tuners and see if you get anywhere. What image are you using on the box?

Everything you've described with the timers and it jumping to a channel and not letting you watch anything else, suggests only one tuner is configured correctly (or only one has a signal).

Thanks for that, im using the image from above in this thread. I havent changed anything. Ill try signal finder to see what im getting. Cheers

Will try signal finder thanks.,

So, switched them around and also checked with signal finder ( 90% on both ), so looks ok to me.
When setting up autotimer there is a start time and end time for searching ( not start and finish time of the programme itself ) and i was wondering would this be using up a tuner? So if i had a programme to record at 9pm but the autotimer was set to search for a match from 7pm to 10pm, would this use a tuner?

Also do you know if there is any way to see where the conflicts arise, as it only puts up a message to say there is a conflict at the moment?

Thanks
