Tiviar Alpha Plus Combo STB

You have lost me there!! OP is using a Tiviar. Mine is enigma 2 box with openvix image and open tv and hdf.

Would freesat be used on a Tiviar?

Can RTE+1 be tuned into this box? I found it in a scan but there's no picture

Anyone got any ideas about what could be causing slowness on this box, I am getting the busy indicator in the top left of the screen most times when doing simple tasks like changing through channels or going through menus. I have tried flashing back to my previous build that and that has the same problem, have also tried going back to the original 6.1 build here and that has the same problem.

I am thinking it could be the hard drive on the way out or some corruption on it, unfortuntely I don't have a spare to swap and try. Would that sound like next logical step or perhaps some way I can format or reconfigure the drive?

Its an old old box now , mine died because of swollen capacitors on the mainboard.

Take the lid off , have a look , there are 5 or 6 main capacitors on the board , see if the tops are swollen , if so , time for a new box.

Was the Hdd internal or external by usb?

Got the answer!

Not sure but your on an old non supported image and if things have changed might throw up errors ?

All boxes supported but not using OpenATV.

Any way to update to get dmax and other channels back that have gone? Thanks.

Thanks so much, am using openATV version 6.1. Not great with the tech!

I have all the info except the line with the Skin details. I looked around and only name for skin I can see is "default". I have been usung the High Horse Brigade set up, and changed nothing.

OK i have an idea of the skin this is what I want you to do, menu setup reception signal finder, u have to press ok each time.

When you get to signal finder it will be on tuner A and will show a signal level, agc and ber. There will be a blue bar on tuner A ie its highlighted , use down arrow to scan type , it will say predefined, use right arrow to change it to user defined, arrow down to system, right arrow to make it DVB-S2, arrow down to frequency and use remote keys to enter 12382, next line will say auto, next symbol rate, use remote keys to enter 29500, polarisation use arrow right to change to horizontal, FEC make auto with arrow key, modulation should say 8psk if not use arrow key , roll off make auto , pilot auto . By now you will have a signal press green button to scan and as there are quite a few channels on that frequency a lot will appear but look for the 2 you want. select DMAX press OK and then exit. you should have a picture, press ok and arrow up . see if pic is the same

You never said which pic matched and I was going to show you how to add the new channels to your bouquet or better still to the favourites but you may know already.

Hi,

it's been a good while since I last checked in here but I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have had a Tiviar box for a few years and originally wrote here asking for advice relating to a problem with the box re. an Online Version Check error message that pops up onscreen from time to time. I'm still having problems and don't know how to get rid of it for good as every time I try to do a software update the box keeps shutting down and rebooting, which is pretty annoying.

Would the entire box have to be reset or is there something that can be done to prevent me from doing that? I have a lot of recordings that I haven't backed up as I think the box will just shut down and reboot all over again if I attempt to do a backup.
