Zardoz,
I have the problem on my triplex.Both tuners not picking up channels.I mean when i scan Spark or Enigma the channels show but are greyed out.I have been on to GM and they reckon its the mainboard.
Waiting on them to come back to me about replacing it myself!!

I read on another forum that a few guys had faulty tuners in their receivers.
On Tuner 2 only half the channels come up as the 22Khz tone isn't being generated by the tuner.
Tuner 2 would be used when you record one satellite channel and watch another.
Only solution would be to return the receiver under warranty in this case..
It could also just be a faulty lnb mind you.

As I previously said HDMU often gave tune failed or the pat thing when recording one channel and switching back and forth between Saorview ,the only solution was to pull the power .It was a software issue.
I never had this issue with Hyperion .

so what u reckon i should do then..all i channels work but when i record and change channel its all blank with tune failed.

I just set up my box running open atv 4.2
When I loaded it the only channels working were bbc 1 and 2 and more 7 from what i could tell. I did a full rescan and now get all the uk free channels but the lists include sky etc that i cant get. It shows the info of whats on them but displays nothing on screen and the same thing happens for all our Irish channels.
Id like to remove sky etc from epg but have the Irish channels.

There is usually an option to scan FTA ( free to air ) a toggle on or off which should skip $ or pay channels

Scan for the saorview seperately

i did all that and i still have loads of channels with blank screens many which shouldnt though i do now have at least some of the rte's though their in the 2800's in the channel list. This is more dificult then i expected.:rolleyes:

Anyone have a channel list for open atv 4.2 that will work in the south of the country including all the free channels and domestic ones that i could ftp over?

Also using easeus my 500gb drive keeps stalling at 73% when trying to format to ext3? any ideas?

cheers for all and any help

Go to Menu/and in search menu, go to autobouquets. When you select autobouquets press menu again. You get screen below. Change "scan free to air only" to yes. Then press green and green again. Wait a minute and all should be fine.

Edit; I see you are using the ATV image. Autobouquets does not function correctly with atv. The FREE TO AIR only option and Swaps option do not work on ATV. Best change image. Try this one. HDD must be EXT3

Format the hdd to ext3 after flashing the receiver.

Just wanted to say thanks to those that shared materials here and gave me help as I was trying to get my Amiko Alien 2 setup the way I wanted. I decided to call it a day with it as it just wasn't working as flawlessly as I was hoping and having been used to the Windows Media Center UI, found it a big step backwards.

I've now managed to get Media Portal running with my existing TV tuner card (which had an issue with Media Center). Can't speak highly enough about it and it was very easy to setup and gives me all the same channels as with the Amiko but in an incredibly slick interface. Not trying to dis the Amiko, just wanted to flag it to others as it may be a suitable option for some to consider as the price of getting a HTPC setup has reduced drastically so once you add a TV tuner card for about €100 the functionality it offers is excellent.

You do have an aerial connected? The Irish channels are free via saorview not satellite. I suspect the blank screens are the satellite version or saorview from a transmitter not in your area. You need to retune the 3rd tuner.

yeah and they work on spark. just the atv one was messed up and others either stall immediately or wont tune in from that line

alanhiggyno1 · 31-10-2014 6:06pm

any new images coming out soon that are worth trying

RTE 1 is the default startup channel
Did the sat stations work
and did you try retune to your local saorview transmitter ?

Try the same thing in Spark and see if the same thing happens .
If it does then the box is likely faulty.

Why did you reinstall Hyperion 4 with no plugins btw ,you were using my backup initially ,was the issue apparent then ?
