Am running Championc's PK Team V2 image. Getting a bit of pixelation every now and then on the $ channels, mainly the HD version. Judder fix is applied already so we can strike that out.

So am thinking maybe its time to upgrade the Oscam. Found the following link on sattvhelp forums to a whole bunch of oscams for SH4 boxes. Thing is once you download the zip file where do the various sub directories and files go? Had a trawl through the Amiko Alien 2 using filezilla but nothing obvious stood out.

http://download.oscam.cc/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=1.20_TRUNK/sh4-amino

Sounds to me it's delay from server your using, Are you directly plugged in to your router or mains plugs?
Go into oscam ip:8888, user root, password oscam to check speed. If your speed is greater than 600/700 ms you will start to see pixelation or temp freezing.

Changed over to Champion's open Ar-P from Hyperian. Always preferred open AR-P only judder fix was stopping me from switching back. Just seen a few little bugs - can't change settings on cool tv just greenscreens when I try to go into settings. Also standby causing greenscreen. But seems better for oscam, haven't seen it catching on oscam yet (fingers crossed) which was always causing me grief in mobile internet land.

Snoon, I too got 0MB when downloading from time to time - completely unexplained - but was losing me all brownie points I'd built up at that stage. I haven't set up much timer recordings yet in AR-P to verify whether it was just a Hyperion thing. If it recorded 30mins on Blank, you'd expect xxxMB of blank whereas 0MB implies that the end of file markers were never properly written (or something like this)

Basill, OSCam is just one file. Telnet into your box and type "find -name oscam" and this will find the file you need to replace with a later version. 9077 was recommended earlier. I would suggest that you use Filezilla and rename the current one and copy in the new one, setting the same permissions. If it goes wrong, you can always then restore the original one

Big Wex, are you on an AA2 or a Triplex ? I did get a Green Screen myself the other night on my AA2, when putting into standby by one it rebooted, it went into Standby OK the second time. Other than this, it's rock solid. I just wonder if it is people with Triplex boxes who seem to have more of a problem with my image this time.

Hi .. bit of newb question

Went into enigma2 actualizations and then djcrash list .. now all bouquets reference polish channels ?

Hi champ,

Gonna piggy back on your last post here, I'm trying to update to the latest oscam. I've installed putty (for the first time) and started a telnet session to my box (i think). I've tried the find command as instructed but i'm not doing something right.

I can't do a screen print but this is what happens when i type the find command.

I think that command doesn't drill down through all folders and their contents. If you open up FileZilla, connect to your enigma2 image and click on the little black binoculars at the top of the screen it will search recursively through all folders for a specific file name.

Alternatively you could just look in /var/emu where the Oscam binary is usually kept and /var/keys where the configuration files usually go.

Sorry, begin with a "cd /" to go back to the ROOT and then do "find -name oscam"

You can use wildcards with the FIND command so use "find -name oscam*" and that will show the location of BOTH the oscam itself and the config files. In this case, Flex has given you the correct file locations anyway but it's a handy command to remember for the future

snoon · 11-12-2013 11:12AM

I'll set some more recordings up on both free and $ channels to ensure I'm only getting issue on $ channels.

Do people get 0Mb recordings on the V2 image?

Cheers

- Just to add, that I have not have any blank recordings, only 0Mb where there's 00:00:00 recorded and they can't be viewed at all.

Its all hard wired here at home. When I go into the oscam interface where do I find the speed? Cheers.

Is there any box released yet that has triple/quad tuners with internal HDD for PVR?

I don't think so, but have just been asked so thought to check here ..... hope ye don't mind the OT question ..... the Amiko Alien seems to be the closest device to what is required.

Yes, but they are twice the price, check out the Vuplus Ultimo or the Gigablue Quad

From what I can read neither of those have an internal HDD or space to fit one.

Am I getting it wrong?

EDIT: ...... reading some more ..... seems I got it wrong

Linux based triple HDTV and digital satellite receiver, PVR ready via USB, eSATA or internal SATA HDD.

VU-ULTIMO-Triple-Linux-HDTV-Receiver-PVR-ready

..... and the Gigablue seems to have

Internal
E-SATA

Thanks for the information

I have something to suggest now

BBC One HD is giving me a message about 'not being able to show programmes for my area'

Whatever they are showing is not being broadcast in hd, you just have to watch that programmer in sd

Edit:it actually says on screen what to do! Go to channel 101!

basill · 11-12-2013 07:46PM

I think thats normal for that time of day. They break away to regional programming and the BBC HD One channel just has a splash screen for 30 minutes. At 7pm when they go back to national coverage it will be normal again.

Hi Flex,

I'm a total newbie when it comes to this. I'm trying to update to 9077 as mentioned in a previous post.

I've downloaded oscam-svn9077-sh4-amino-webif-Distribution.zip and unzipped it to a folder on my PC. This contains a folder docs, with four sub folders (example, html, man & txt) with a load of files in each sub folder.

Firstly, is this the right file i should download?

I've Ftp'ed into my box and found the var/emu folder, it contains two files;
oscam_8699 & oscam_8988.

I don't know what file i drop into this folder or what amendments i make to the existing files in that folder. Can you please advise. There is no file called oscam_9077 in the file I've downloaded.

Also in ther folder you mentioned (var/keys), what files do i drop into this folder? You mention configutator files, but i don't know which files you mean in the zip file I've downloaded. (i.e. which files from which folder in the zip file?)

I've looked for a guide on-line how to do all this but i can't find one which does it for newbies.

TIA

Hello!

I can't seem to scan mux2 on my amiko alien

I can find 19 channels on mux 1 (three rock 546MHz, 8Hz bandwidth) but nothing on MUX 2 which I believe is 570MHz. I'm using championc's Hyperion image. Any and all advice appreciated.

Thanks

You should have 3 items when you unzip, the docs folder, a file called changes and the oscam file. Anyway you only need the oscam file, I've uploaded mine to DB for ya https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvn83fzo1khr3ct/oscam_9077

Just FTP it to VAR/EMU. If you already have oscam then just leave your config files in VAR/KEYS as they are, no need to update. Finally remember to press the portal button, go to emu manager, press red button to stop oscam, press across to select new oscam the press green(i think) to restart oscam

what are you using? Aerial in attic, outside aerial, rabbit ears etc?

Had same issue in my mams house when using rabbit ears. Got a bigger aerial (for use in attic), connected it beside the box, ran the scan, picked up the "new" mux2 RTE1 and then disconnected aerial.
Once I reconnected the rabbit ears, it could still get signal (albeit not as strong) on Mux2

I am having similar (but different) problems with the second mux.
I have the Golden Media Triplex+ (DVB-T2 tuner) and it is only on Hyperion that I can get the second mux!

I presume you are using a manual scan of the 570mhz frequency and that you can tune another device (Saorview tv or other stb) to the second mux

it is probably worth trying another enigma2 version to see if you can tume in

It's in the status page, in LB Value/Reader column & also gives about 20 lines of previous history.

Found it. Range is around the 175-250ms mark from what I can see. Whats the norm?

I upgraded oscam to 8988 from within the Pkteam plugins and things on the whole seem better for the past day or so. Only a small amount of pixellation and it disappears quickly back to a normal picture. As the other poster above says, still no idea how to upgrade oscam to a newer version though without using plugins. A google search tends to throw up how to insert c/nlines into oscam rather than the software itself.

snoon · 12-12-2013 10:53AM

Mine just says No Data in the LB Value/Reader column?

Any ideal why or how I get this to show the correct values?

Cheers

that's better than mine - but when i see glitching/pixelation the speed is usually above 6/7oo ms. it's either traffic at my side or on traffic at supplier side.
If you are seeing pixelation at 175-250ms then I don't know what would be causing it. If u see occasional pixelation - might be worth going straight into oscam & see if there was a slow response on the history.

hi everyone im lookimg for some help setting up usals on aa2 triple

There are a number of us having problems with tuning a second terrestrial mux here in Ireland - in Liverpool you have many muxes (not sure how many) so that could be a related issue.
I have found that some versions of e2 work better than others so it might be worth trying another one.

im going round the bend i sorted the T chans by in the setup selecting it to scan europe freq that did the trick.When i tried scanning with it set for uk
it didnt bring anything in.
But im now back to the usals settings i thought i had sorted it when it went to 19.2 but now when i select another sat to scan i get nothing the dish doesnt seem to move.
So i would be forever thankfull if there is a faq anywhere that is easy to follow to setup with usals with the image im trying.
cheers

Check which transmitter you are using at:
http://www.saorview.ie/get-saorview/make-the-switch/coverage-map/

then you can wikipedia the transmitter (if you are using Clarmont Carn see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clermont_Carn) and get the frequencies.
Do a manual scan on both frequencies.

I have had trouble with my GM Triplex (in theory the same box) with some versions of Enigma2. I find the Hyperion 2&3 work whereas others don't get both muxes

eddie_ · 15-12-2013 07:56PM

hi sorry i am new to this dtt system. what is hyperion 2&3. why will the box not pick up the clarmont carn transmitter automatic when i do a search.many thanks for your help
