Tiviar Alpha Plus Combo STB

You should say the image version and the skin as there are so many now it is difficult to give the answer.

You should never update the box via that software management facility.

And if box is working OK dont update. Its not an update really its an upgrade to the latest version of the image.

Hi..I need to reinstall the software on my Trivar box as it's giving too many issues. Is there a step by step guide to format and reinstall all the bits in order to get it back up and running..any help would be appreciated.

looking to upgrade from ATV 6.0 to latest version. (Had to get new PSU for box as well)

Are you saying that you reset everything on existing box and start with new flash ?

Ok I've gone back to basics with the box, I have all the Freesat channels but Saorview is still not updating with Auto Bouquets. I have all the channels on a basic Amiko box so it must be a setting on the Saorview.

Hi I've looked up Saorview.ie I'm in Tallaght and it's states that Kippure is my nearest mast so I set it too that. I've turned the 5V feed off and did a scan and still no joy

Cheers for that information. The only thing I can think of id that the tuner for Saorview in knackered on the box as the channels are working fine on a small Amiko box and updating…so I'll play around over the next few day.

If anyone has any ideas what it could be appreciated.

I have been using the Tiviar box for the last 6 years or so with the occasional issue but nothing that couldn't be sorted. About 8 weeks ago I was getting an error in the morning.. basically the Saorview couldn't be updated with Autobouqtemaker... Astra channels were fine. So I know it's not the feeds from the sat dish and the saorview Ariel.

I had a small Amiko box not being used, and plugged it in and all the channels were available both Saorview and Astra. The last few days I've had time to tackle the Tivair box so dived in last night and still no Saorview with the errors showing.

Every now and again think plugins need an update to next version Update provider file as click on that should run to next version.

Just rechecked mine as it also says incompatible.

It might need a later Image on box to use the newer version ?

You have not said what Image box is running.

Openatv 6.3 is old but good so keep it.

You don't need ABM to run SAORVIEW as the channels never change or if they do they get added automatically so you can turn that bit off.

To check the tuner is working you can use signal finder. go menu setup reception tuner configuration, signal finder, use arrow to chage tuner, C then type of scan make user defined, for use of frequency use channel, for channel type in the channel number for your transmitter and wait, if you get a signal a green tick will appear in lock and you may have a reading under agc. Try both channels, if you get nothing check cable at rear of box.

You dont say skin you are using so above may show different, im using a sky q skin at the moment. If you get a signal press green , then green again.

4 years gone from the Tiviar box . Plugged it in a few weeks ago and no power up.

Changed PSU to 60W laptop brick from amazon and hey presto it all works.

And for a ons my sky LNB was a hybrid so the two legacy ports were ok.

Now to fiddle around and rescan some channels.

Thanks for the help on here re changing out the PSU , otherwise it would have gone in the bin.

I do wonder if that is a working feed ?

Try imputing this data .

But did you imput that frequency and scan ?

Payton one last try under frequency use right arrow and make it say channel then ch 21 will appear use remote keys to change it to 30 and pause, try 33. If nothing check aerial carefully at rear and aerial input on tiviare but if same aerial lead worked ok and you get nothing the dtt tuner is toast.

Kevinmcm you have to say image and skin go menu information about and read it off. Then I may be of help

That's openatv 6.3 and the plugin is called movie manager but if it was already installed it may have just stopped working or you may have updated the image.

To check if its still active go to recordings and press menu and you may get a long list scroll down until you see movie manager.

I dont have the tiviar anymore and never used movie mananger!!

If it does not appear go menu plugins and press red the chose extensions have a look for moviemanager if its not shown go exit and green to download plugins and look for it in extensions and if its there download, it may install or may just stay in background so do as above.

Thats the limit of my memory!!
