Copy the IPK to maybe the /TMP directory on the box, using Filezilla or some other FTP program. Telnet to the box using PUTTY or some other telnet client and type sudo su cd /tmp ipkg install xxxxxxxx.ipk

I'm using Zardoz new 4.5 hyperion image. All is well for 5 minutes then channels tune out. Fta are still ok along with bt $ channels. Tried the box downstairs where my alien 2 works perfectly and same thing happens using different lnb's. Curiously when I boot into spark the sky $ channels stay ok but it won't pick up some Fta channels like bbchd, itvhd. neither image working correctly. What I don't get is if it was a new quad lnb that was needed why would my alien 2 and skybox f5s be ok on the same upstairs feed that the alien mini is failing on. I've also used a vix4sh4 image and the same thing is happening. Tried all different softcams. Tried everything. I just cannot work this one out. Any help appreciated. It's driving me insane.

Had been toying with the idea of an upgrade, but completely agree with you that pq is the key criteria _ function of a stb. Would like a box with a bit more umph , but not at the expense of pq. (Can live with the aa2 - what you don't have you don't miss and all that). Having said that, and in relation to your previous post , is there any box that you would think is worth considering upgrading to?

liverpoolee wrote: » what I don't understand is that the channels are fine for 4/5 minutes then they pixelate. If it was a week signal surely I wouldn't get anything. And the channels stay on fine on the spark side of the box but the interface is terrible on spark. The whole business is doing my nugget in now.
Zardoz wrote: » Yes I have loads of remotes. I really should start selling off some of my receivers to be honest . I think if someone is going to upgrade from an Alien 2 ,the Xtrend 8000 is probably the best option. The Xtrends have the best picture quality of the Mips receivers (Vu+ are probably the worst) and the 8000 is a very powerful receiver that ticks all the boxes.

I've reinstalled the image but still no joy. I've been running a stable Enigma 2 image since July and only started having issues last week

Zardoz wrote: » When they pixelate does the signal strength drop ? Alan Higgy had some issues with Hyperion not picking up certain channels on his Alien 1 a while back ,I think they worked on Openatv. Although you had the same issue with the Miraclebox and the vu+duo so its probably a hardware issue. It could be an lnb issue,sometimes the vertical polarity channels can not work . They need 18v to operate the lnb properly whereas horizontal channels require only 13v. Perhaps switch the lnb outputs around or get a new lnb. The Aliens might be able to supply a more stable voltage than the other receivers .
