Slevster wrote: » 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

My new box came with a factory installed enigma 2 image which it boots straight into. Also when I'm done in spark will it boot back into enigma next time I turn it on? Finally Is this box supposed to be really slow after first boot? it takes literally 3 seconds after a button press for the thing to actually happen. Thanks in advance.

After a short time you will see forc pop up on the display on the box so release the ok button and press up to go into spark or press down to go into enigma.. Welcome to the land of amiko alien 2
superg wrote: » Cheers Jayo and thanks for the welcome, I might be here a lot in the coming weeks:D. Actually found an old sky box so used that to set up the dish. This image seems to have all the necessary stuff like auto bouquets, picons etc but it's channel list is set up to mimic Sky so loads of blank channels (I'll find out about making that work later;) ). For now need to re arrange stuff for freesat. That's my next task, one of many probably!
albob wrote: » Hi all, New to Enigma and even though I have a technical background, its pretty daunting. Anyway I have most things set up. However I have slight concerns about my saorview reception so I have not invested in hard drive for recording yet. I have the SAB triple tuner box. Right now I just have a flash key plugged in to allow it store the epg off the box. I am seeing an issue whereby whenever I change a channel after about 2 seconds the screen goes black and the pause symbol appears. I need to press stop or play to get the channel back. I have gone through all the timeshift and recording settings I can find and I believe I have them all disabled. Any ideas? Thanks.

The next day when i power the STB back up by using the same button on the remote i get no channels coming through. When i press FAV i get the channel listings and epg data, just no channels coming through (FTA or otherwise). A restart of enigma does not solve the problem but a restart does. The only thing that i think may be causing it is that the homeplug gets switched off at the modem end overnight. Anyone else experiencing this?
albob wrote: » Interesting question. Box bought from freetv with Enigma pre installed. How do I determine the image? I'll have a look around.
Slevster wrote: » Hmmm. For all my messing around with this box, I am struggling to think of a clear , easy and accurate way to pull up info on the installed enigma image from within the image. If you press menu, you will see some clues in the background wallpaper. Or When booting (not just from standby) , you will see a splash screen which will show if its ATV, or Hyperion, or PLi , or ARP or something else (all will have a number after them,eg ATV 4.2 )
