    Have you it all set to your liking? I was having an issue getting the permanent timeshift to work, i set it for operation but it never kicked in. May also be something that was sorted in one of the more recent updates.

    Wouldn't say 100% to my liking but getting there.I still need to install samba and a few other bits.

    Permanent timeshift works for me. Have you mounted the drive? Can you see your recordings on your drive when you press folder?

    The skin 'appeared' but was very slow, I had problems going back to default skin then, the stb hung when trying to. I read of a similar incident over at sattvhelp.

    Reflashed the image again. I'll try the blue hd skin again later, software updates applied, hopefully better luck this time.

    Not so bad, you're nearly there so!

    Yeah, drive's mounted and i can access and play all recordings but just no PTS. Will have a look again Monday or so when i get the tele to myself. I'm sure it's just something small causing the issue.

    I've everything working which I had previously in OpenAR-P except HDMI-CEC. I might just have to concede defeat on this one small item - which I know is not a biggie at all. The only thing I haven't tried was putting the box in Standby for hours and hours and for the TV to then take it out of Standby and to hope the box continued to work correctly. But other than this, i'm quite happy with this, it seems quite stable all round.

    I also never tested the scanning or Terrestrial channels on an AA2+ so I'm not sure if it's working okay on for the DVB-T2

    so my big question is do you recommend this over your ARP? i have had feck all issues from yours except for some very minor crashing issues when doing multiple recordings and playback which im sure is a hard drive or box issue rather than the image? i dont use any plugins really, just samba and oscam at the mo

    I'd stick with ARP for now. Open ATV is still a bit glitchy. Hold off another while and wait for a release canditate. That would be my advice anyway.

    Flashed the latest Open Atv today and reverted again to my Hyperion backup, it's better than it was last time, Oscam and CrossEPG worked but it's still a bit off being a daily runner. I'll try again next week

    That's a tough one. The main issue is that they could end up breaking something which works now. But right now, it's doing everything I want it to do, it's unleashed on the family, and they haven't turned on me yet :)

    The one thing I am really most pleased about is that I have the volume of SD and HD both equal. I could never do this in AR-P

    If mymetrix is the default skin, then yes

    To add Rats picons to skin just FTP usr folder in zip to usr folder in image and reboot, then go to plugins and download rats picons.

    Yeah I know that, it's just the mymetrix skin doesn't display them right

    It seems strange that OpenATV have such a bloated and demanding skin as MyMetrix as the default skin.
    I stopped using it on the Dm800 as it was crippling the receiver ,its a very demanding skin as its essentially more than a skin.

    Hi

    Tried to ftp rats picons and saorview picons to openatv image. No problem connecting and transferring files to usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions.

    Also tried to transfer to system plugins but the files won't stay when I reboot. Is openatv image not compatible with files?

    The picons folder needs to be in usr/share/enigma2 on open ATV.

    Gave OpenATV another go today and this time it's a keeper. I'm still using the mymetrix skin for now although it makes the box a little sluggish and the small picon looks out of place. Anyone have any nice colour tweaks for it? It's great the way this skin contains so many plugins, CrossEPG, Autotimer, I've even spotted a auto bouquet maker though givecredit has autobouquets installed. Gonna back up oscam now and see if there any updates for it today.

    I find that autobouquetmaker interferes with my saorview channels. Also with the swap and supplemental options in autobouquets my preferred option is autobouquets.

    Auto bouquet maker also is missing a couple of channels. One of them being setanta Ireland. Never had a problem with AB e2 so I'll stick with that .
