    is channel list any easier with that,have you tried the hyperian image its good but channel list not good as i am a novisce with all this suppose wil have to spend more hours gonna play around with it this morning

    I am running an ARP E2 image and am a happy camper with several day EPG, HDD recording and FTA/Saorview in one box. Thanks to all here for their help in getting me there.

    Its being working grand for a couple of weeks, so obviously i need to play around with it. I have been trying to connect to my NAS and in Mountmanager i can input all the details but I cannot browse the NAS. Has anybody used the AA2 to browse and run files from their NAS?

    Thanks[/QUOTE]

    1. Press Menu,
    2. Go to Setup
    3. Go to service searching.
    4. Go to AutoBouquets
    5. When in Autobouquets press menu button on your remote.
    6. A menu called "AutoBouquets setup" should appear.
    7. Change "scan free to air" =yes to =no by just toggling to right...
    8. Press green button to save your settings and press green again. With a minute for program to complete and exit out of menu.

    great tip not only did it find channels but put them in a nice order,let u know if i cant find anything dreading taling the moter,not even tried looking yet think it lists tuners as abc c being for terrestrial aerial so i gotta worry about other two, here is praying i dont ruin everything i suppose i can leave one tuner set where it is on 28 e4ast then somehow try to toggle other one usals that hopefully will keep channels i have.wish me look unless there is a guide anybody can point me to is it best to stick to advanced anybody. ???

    You might get more help on this question in Foreign Satellite section. Just ask the question "How do i set up a motor in enigma2 receiver?"

    There might be an easier way to do that though mount manager... but you could achieve the same thing using Samba Server. It's installed on most images in the firmware thread. Then just search _this_ thread for 'samba server' to see how to set it up.

    Has anyone noticed break-up on one mux and not the other. For me on Hyperion v4 I see this on RTE1, Junior and +1 mainly in the evening (pointed at Truskmore ch 53 73000, ch 57 76200). The SNR is reported low enough <30% while channels on the other mux is 99%.

    Seems related to image/Enigma as there are no issues in Spark (signal is 90%) and with another combo box I have its fine also.
    Didn't have this on Hv3. Think I noticed same on HDMU, will try some others...

    Just wondering has anyone else seen/heard of this?

    Haven't noticed anything myself but a few other posters have noticed a drop in signal strength on v4.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭elvis23


    Ok cheers, was planning on getting a splitter anyhow to get the signal into another room or two. Might see if a booster helps.... Using a passive signal splitter would drop signal quite a bit me reckons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 426 ✭✭FlexMcMurphy


    Some talk of the signal from the RTE1 HD mux not being as strong as from the mux with all the other channels. Rooftop aerial best bet for strongest reception.

    I had the same problem with ARP Image.

    Im using Fresh Pots Hyp 4 image at the moment and can connect to my nas by activating the dnla client in the pkt blue panel.

    I then go to media player and select upnp, and I can now browse and watch media files from my NAS bay.

    Hope this helps. If you find a way to mount the NAS handier, let me know.

    Good luck.

    Is there a way to save the image you are running after you've set up the channel list etc as you like?

    I'm running an image from TVTrade.ie, that came with the box, however I want to try different one's. I downloaded Championc's and TTG's images but when I loaded them the box got stuck on boot.

    I re-loaded the TVtrade image, but had to re-scan, reconfigure all the channels, delete stuff I didn't want etc.

    It would be handy if I could just re-load an image with all my preferences saved.

    Cheers

    You can use the spark plugin that came with championc's image to do a backup of an image.

    I can't get that image working though. I'll keep messing around with it and see how I get on. Cheers

    Its not the image you are installing.
    go to champs download page: http://goo.gl/2DuVm0
    get the E2-Upgrade plugin and install.
    Boot into spark and install it.
    use the backup e2 option to make a backup of your enigma2 to your hard drive

    Ah forgive my stupidity! Cheers, I'll try that.

    Press exit.

    Logic directed me to try the exit button first, but that would not allow me to exit.

    I decided to reflash and then did nothing more than tune to my local transmitter and change the skin to New Sky.

    RTE webplayer fires up without problem, but the exit button still will not work?

    All that said, I am still very happy with givecredit's image.

    What happens when you select "exit" in the RTE player menu?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 269 ✭✭cyndale


    When I am using the RTE Player (Hyperion 4), I just press the stop button and then press exit!

    I tried that this morning without success. I was just returned to the RTE webplayer. I see another poster has suggesting going to stop first and then to exit. I'll try this latter today.

    Are you trying to exit player while player is playing a program? If so you must stop the program first. Press Stop and then exit.

    Hi have give credits image on thanks,

    Has any one a link to multi quick button that will work with the image.

    Tried from the multi quick button site, but when ftp'd got error message.

    Basically want to change when EPG is pressed it will go straight to list of channels of the bouquet that i'm watching ( like on champs image) instead of list of bouquets thanks??

    You may not need it, long press epg and select default Epg and choose CoolTVGuide. Multiquickbutton brings about it's own problems, select a button that's not mapped and it gives a popup asking you to map it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭pod2011


    Hi with long press epg it only gives option of red similar, green ad timer, yellow single epg, blue multi epg.
    Multi epg is only now next! ?
    Thanks same ol

    No need for mqb on Hyperion, it has a built in keymapper in the blue panel.

    When in epg, press menu button and set the setting to go to bouquets to=off, This setting is under yellow button I think. (So from memory in epg, press menu/yellow and change setting)
