    I wish OpenAR-P would get the finger out and update their code - even just a marker in the sand update before their next big changes come through.

    It certainly appears that Hyperion is not as good for recording in that it seems to want to use two terrestrial tuners to record two terrestrial programmes simultaneously. They don't even have to be simultaneous - they can't overlap.

    That's good news, I hope it's better than V2, it was a disaster for me.

    If your channels still say rescan required then they are the Mux1 versions which will cease in 2-3 weeks.

    I have a saorview set top box on a spare tv with a small indoor aerial sitiing on top of the tv. Did an automatic scan on that box and it picks up the 3 channels I'm missing on my amiko - it doesn't pick up the other channels I get a test card!

    It looks like my amiko and aerial in attic cannot pick up mux2 and my saorview set top box and crappy little indoor aerial can pick up mux 2 but only 3 channels.

    Reposting a link here from another thread which gives the Saorview MUX1 and 2 frequencies for all the transmitters in the country.

    From what I've read... looks like watching RTE1 and recording RTE2 at the same time on terrestrial will no longer be possible on the Alien 2 since they will broadcast on different frequencies and it has only one terrestrial tuner.

    Just wondering if the Alien 2/Triplex remote can be configured to control the tv like is possible with the Dreambox remotes ?
    Thanks

    Hi, I currently have Autobouquets 28.2 running but is there an equivalent plugin for Hotbird 13e?

    I had some real fun and games trying to retune Saorview on my Alien 2! What a mess! I have an indoor aerial with a small signal booster, and with the new muxes I had the problem of some channels scanning ok, but others with no EPG info, and the 'rescan required' message. I played around with different gain settings on the booster and found that I got RTE1, RTE1+1 and RTE jr with the gain turned up full, and I got the rest with the gain turned down halfway, but no RTE1, RTE1+1 or RTE jr!

    So after much messing around, my solution was to turn the booster gain down to halfway, do a fresh terrestrial scan with 'Clear before Scan' = yes, and then turn the booster gain up full and do another scan, with 'Clear before scan' = no. And now I have all channels, including EPG, so hopefully they're here to stay!

    The good news is that my signal strength is better than ever, even though it was a messy procedure. Hopefully this might help anyone else with the same problem.

    This has got nothing to do with the Amiko Alien 2 and all to do with your particular internal aerial setup and a weaker signal

    I have serious judder on the saorview channels since the rescan. The problem doesn't exist on the spark boot, only on my HDMU enigma.

    So I am dedicating myself to installing the Hyperion image provided by Championc.

    Wish me luck!

    Well it was either this or run a marathon.

    On another note I had a problem streaming where I couldn't connect to the box at all. That turned out to be Eircom changing settings on the efibre router remotely.
    Got a tip from the network guys on here and got it sorted. So thanks again to boards.

    I have also said 3 hail Mary's and an act of contrition for stupidly posting a problem on the firmware thread. <seriously embarrassed>

    Would be handy if we could clean up the firmware thread a bit.. take out some of those recent posts. Maybe a moderator could move question type posts to this thread? I suppose then the original poster would have to be told via pm where their post was moved to.. could be awkward.

    Easier to just start a new firmware thread and copy all the relevant info into it, lots of outdated stuff in there now.

    Okay - so far - not so good.

    The problem is still there for Saorview channels.

    And for some reason the user name and password Championc provided is not working.

    root and blank password keeps giving a bad login message on dreamboxedit??

    EDIT: I should try a few things before posting here. Password is not blank but pkteam. Now I am wondering did I download the right image but it comes up with the hyperion image?

    In case anyone isn't clear on how to tune in RTE1 HD.

    I went to saorview.ie and used the coverage map there to show the nearest transmitter to me. Saorview channels are broadcast on two different frequencies now so you need to scan both to get all the Saorview channels.

    The saorview website gives two channel numbers for each transmitter. I found corresponding frequencies for these channel numbers at saortv.info.

    Example:
    Three Rock Transmitter

    Mux -- Channel -- Frequency
    1
    30
    546000
    2
    33
    570000

    When doing a terrestrial tuner scan on Alien 2 you use the frequency (hz) and bandwidth is always 8Mhz.

    Flex


    I tried this method on my amiko but still no luck
    getting RTE1HD
    nearest transmitter is Kippure which should be pretty much the same as the above

    Kippure hasn't shared frequencies with Three Rock since July 2012.

    Mux 1 is ch. 54 (738000 KHz), mux 2 is ch. 58 (770000 KHz).

    Anyone experiencing sound drop outs on BBC1 HD and BBC2 HD? Intermittent and irregular which makes it hard to pin point what the root cause maybe.

    Also is their a bit of a guide how to watch recorded stuff on championc's Hyperion 2 image? When i try ans fast forward something which I've recorded i can't just start playing it again when i press play....I'm more than likely doing something incorrect.

    I record and watch stuff all the time. Access the recorded material with just the play button to bring up the list.

    Sometimes FF can take up to 10 secs to react and start FF'ing. However, Play for me is pretty quick to react for me. I have a 500gb USB HDD formatted to EXT3

    I found that sometimes if there is a hiccup in a recording it only plays from the start. Stop midway, or FF or RW makes it jump to the end. Someone more knowledgeable than me can explain but it seems to be a case of not knowing the length of, or it's location in, a damaged recording. If that makes sense.

    Ok I scanned both freq at 8mhz.

    mux 1 found 18 channels (all listed in the scan results)

    mux 2 found 17 channels (nothing listed in the scan results ???? )

    Still no RTE1 HD and still channels showing rescan required - but they are still showing/broadcastimg?

    Check all channels? The new versions will not automatically appear in a bouquet until you put them there

    Try pressing the OK button to bring up the channel list, then the RED button will bring up all channels it has stored.

    Note:- you may also see the encrypted satellite versions of RTÉ listed even if you can't view them.
