Amiko Alien 2 Triple Tuner Combobox

so no then you have never modded your box,
thank you



oo btw if you think fiber tv will be a thing someday, your so wrong. i worked as a splicer a i know what it can and can't do, the biggest fail with fiber is the public messing with it. so fibre tv's would never work. maybe if the person never messed with it, but in general, no.

Hi everyone,

Really new to all this so please bear with me I am a newbie / dummy. I have installed Fresh Pots latest image (major respect and thanks) but as soon as it boots up I get an error regarding harddisk links! I am using the same drive I have used on other images so I am at a loss as to why this error appears and it seems to think the drive is not EXT2 / 3 when it is so I am asking for a pointer if possible? The other thing I have is with oscam which only seems to want to clear certain channels which might be something I am not doing but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide which would show me how to grab the necessary files from a working image and put them onto this image! I would stick with the image that I have which works "Poggs image from linux-sat" but the green screen when it boots does drive me mad along with the fact that I find if I don't boot the machine every couple of days it becomes very laggy.

I really do wish to say a massive thanks to Fresh Pots and everyone else who put in the work to improve this box which is in my opinion is very good for the money it costs.

With thanks,

Jimmyinit

BTW, I'm with you for modding the box, I've been considering opening mine for a look to see can i fit the hdd inside.

That's enough off topic for me, back on track[/quote]

This has been done. On one of the other forums , some members discussed how they fitted a SATA drive inside their box, drawing power internally. I think it was the sattvhelp forum.

There is room in there!

And graphene may well be the way for future connections.

Graphene improves the efficiency of switches and gear at either end, it still uses fibre optic cable. You cannot get faster than fibre optic, it's the speed of light.

Seems like a logical argument. At this point in the development of Graphene , its being touted as the future of all things. From space craft to implants, power transmission to nano filters. So we will all probably just end up with fancy bikes made of the stuff!

What's the word on the A3 release date? Would it of interest to folks here? What price would tempt?

Other than having ab set to fta is there any difference between this and my image?

I have spent about 3 man hours tweaking AutoBouquets to work as it does now for users who use Free To Air and Free To View only.

I also took on board some comments made by some users here and made my backup a complete Sky free zone.

don't understand what you mean? All FTA channels on Freeasat are available without any card inserted. Or am I missing something?

Free to view channels are not fta ,they require a viewing card .
