Amiko Alien2 / SAB / GM / ST7162 ENIGMA Discussion Thread

championc

This thread is for discussion of the ENIGMA operating system on ST7162 Based Satellite & Terrestrial Combo Receivers

The boxes covered would be the
Amiko Alien2
SAB Unix Tripple
GM Triplex

Enigma is a Linux based alternative to the default Spark operating system on these boxes. Enigma is a more customisable OS and provides the ability to add plugins which can accomplish many tasks enabling users to have a box which might look and perform like a Sky box, giving a 7 day EPG and an alternative to series link

A detailed FAQ type post with most installation instructions is below in Post 2

Does anyone know where I can check the satellite signal strength on Fresh Pots image? And also what % signal strength I should expect for astra 28.2e? The large majority of my channels are great but a handful freeze from time to time.

Imstuck

Yeah I read what I have to do, set static ip on laptop and box connecting them together with Ethernet.
What next though?

So set a static ip for box, then hook up to router as per normal use, turn dhcp off and set up manually using pre set ip? Yes?

Eh ? Where did I mention router ? Go back and read EXACTLY what I said to do.

My epg on saorview would be empty on powering on the box but populates as soon as I turn on a saorview channel, it's not a problem to be honest, not sure why yours isn't filling up tho

I'm having the same problem, but no matter what I do, it won't show info on saorview channels, it just shows now and next with no information.:(

I stand to be corrected on this, but I think the soarview channel info/guide will download only if you actively view the one of the channels( for a few seconds. which you did, I am guessing).
Also, It may be that you are tuned to not the strongest MUX freq in your area .many areas can receive soarview from more than one transmitter, but some may not be very strong, and so not receive the full amount of data. Does any of your channels show any pixialilation? If you originally did an auto scan, your box may have found a few. (When on rte 1, press the OK button, to and get to the list of channels, and then the red button ( labeled as "all") , and see if there are other rate 1's there (from soarview, not satellite) or check via dreamboxedit. If so, select one of the other ones and see what happens. Also flick to TV3 which will be on a different MUX, and wait a few seconds. . but if things were fine before, then...
After that check your .dat files for your epg's (depending on where they are set, most likely in /hdd or /hdd/crossepg) , and see when they were updated . you should see if it was updated very recently ( as in , at the time you were viewing)
after that, you can delete all EPG.dat and crossepg files, reboot, force download of epg ( or wait till it normally downloads) , flick to a soarview, and hopefully, it is back to normal

(Or give it another day, could be an issue with soarview itself. If you have any other TV/ box that can view soarview, check it too)

But as I said, I am open to correction

Sorry Champc I don't understand what your suggesting!?
Apologies but you may have to dumb it down lol!

Get an Ethernet cable. Connect one end to your laptop, the other end to the network port on the box.

Set static IP Addresses on both - maybe Laptop 192.168.1.5, box 192.168.1.6, mask for both 255.255.255.0. No gateway or DNS necessary

I think I have found my problem with my box not connecting to internet, I think the router is blocking somehow and I need to go into the routers settings for port forwarding.
I was wondering what numbers I should put in port and was thinking 8888? As used in open webif?
If anyone could confirm that would be great, would like to be forearmed before I have a bash at it.
Many thanks!

So are you saying that you go both connecting together when connected back to back without a router, as I suggested ?

Nowso

im not familiar with them but seems just an issue with it get the webbridge connected and change a few things from there and you should be ok .

Imstuck

The router is one of those vodafone/Huwaii HG658c. A search throws up a lot of interesting results with a lot of people with similar problems.......
Maybe just disabling firewall would do it?

Nowso

i dint think port forwarding would stop it connecting i do think its your router settings though

log into the router settings via the webbridge and factory reset the router setting would be my 1st thing to do

Just tried to set up a new box with hyp 4.5 everything worked grand for about ten minutes then the on screen graphics would disappear or go blurred then the box would crash or green screen. I reflashed a few times and same thing happened. Any ideas? In the mean time I'm gonna give open atv a go.

Is this after a reboot?

(If you flick to a sorview channel, and leave it for a couple of secs, see does it update/populate the channel EPG/info)

Seems to be working again... cheers
