Cost-Effective, High-Functionality, User-Friendly Replacement for Pay TV

Thanks Gerry, what would you recommend?

Hi,

I've been through most of the pages but I can't find it.

I've changed my TV to an LG tv, can anyone remember how to set the power button for both the box and TV ?

TIA

Thanks for the reply Gerry but I can't locate HDMI CEC on the box or in Webif.

Running openatv 6.2

The power button turned on and off the previous Samsung tv.

I have the an Tiviar Box with NCM's openATV 6.3 image. I believe I can receive the usual channels of the 28.2E Astra 2E/2F/2G Services and the 19.2 Ku-band Astra 1KR/1L/1M/1N Services from my Sat dish. However, I CANNOT see or receive the US FOX News for FOX related channels listed in the Favorites/All list of channels, or anywhere else for that matter. Should I see it in the usual list, or do I need to have something extra to receive those type of channels? Thanks for your help

I flashed NCM's image a couple of days ago as I hadnt updated my tiviar in a few years. I restored my own settings so I'd get my previous channel list back.

Now each night, some process is running and wiping out my favourite channels each night. I dont think it's ABM.

Any idea what else it could be?

Anybody know why webif has stopped working on this box, I can see it is connected to my router, samba is running. webif plugin is running.when I type in 192.168.x.x I get Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.x.x. ( correct address as per network information on box). I have tried restarting both router and box. Image version is Openatv 6.4

Thats an old version and wondering if non supported , 6.4 and unsure if 7.0 is working.

Wiping out channels seems like ABM is rescanning and moving your lists.

The Saorview coverage checker is often hopelessly wrong , in my case the saorview coverage checker says its Kippure for Celbridge , but that wont work on any combo box under ABM , you get nothing.

I had an old triax saorview box that showed the frequencies of the channels I could pick up with an autoscan , with a bit of detective work I found out that only two transmitters used the frequencies that were being picked up in Celbridge , that was the one in Donegal , very unlikely , and Dublin 3 Rock .... so put in Dublin 3 rock in ABM and it worked.

Dont rely on the saorview coverage map , its hopeless , like most RTE stuff really.

If you don't know the correct Saorview channel numbers or frequencies for your area, you can manually search using the signal finder option under TUNERS.

Again make sure the selected tuner is DVB-C/T2 and PREDEFINED TRANSPONDER. Then step down to the TRANSPONDER section. Using the left-right buttons step slowly through each number. Pause for a few seconds on each one to see if you get a signal. When you do, SCAN and save using the GREEN button as above. The range of numbers goes from 21 - 69. (you will also see 5-12 but they are for cable systems and not applicable here)

Remember there are two sets of channels on two different channel numbers for each area. In some cases you may get more than two results. In that case choose the strongest signals.

If you don't get any results, your aerial may not be good enough.

I have to ask a very newbie question (so apologies)

With the FTA system taking 2 inputs (satellite & saorview), does RTE/saorview stations appear on the same menu as the satellite stations?

But on a tv ?? never tried to do favourites but use the box for that

Anybody willing to share thier AutoBouquetsMaker settings?

Have box since Nov 2018 on NCM's image and worked great thanks NCM.

But crashed this week so updated to 6.3 but no ITV or C5. Have Saorview sorted.

Managed to get them in through manual scan.

select predefined transponder.

select 11306 Horizontal 27500 . Not vertical.

Refreshed ABM and all back but Bouquets need tidying now......

Favorite's gone.
