I do like a tinker myself and running simultaneous recordings while watching a third, online updates, trying different skins hasn't given me any issues.

It crashes every couple of weeks but a power cycle is enough to start it again. I'm guessing it is the CrossEPG but I can live with it! We just got rid of another box on the unit that always showed the time of day on the display. Now she is complaining there is no time visible! Any idea if it is possible to edit the display format to show time as well as program on the OS3. It's not obvious in the settings to me. Cheers

I have tried retuning, full scans and single transponder but nothing is working. I've also reran Auroboquets. SNR % is showing as 0 in infobar too so it is like there is no signal. Anyone having similar problem? Anyone got a resolution? Strangely they do sometimes work in The evening... Pretty sure my sat is ok, although just noticed having trouble also with CH4+1 and More 4 too!!!

I can't find anywhere which supplies it, even the google search for it returning freetvDOTie actually links to the OS2+ even though the link says OS3+ Looking to replace Amiko Alien 2, and possibly a Ferguson Ariva in the mothers place too

On same item what backups can we get for the edison is there hyperion 4.5 available or is it just open atv?? Looking at the freetv add further it looks like its just the os2 with a usb tuner they are selling with it for the third tuner.
kenmc wrote: » Yeah there's something wierd going on there, it says OS3 and has a pic of OS3 on the front but the back shows 2 SAT inputs and a USB dongle for terrestrial which matches the text of OS2, whereas the OS3 is supposed to have a built in tuner with loopthrough for terrestrial, and 2 SAT inputs as well. I won't bother emailing the same question so, will see what answer if any you get, perhaps you'd be so good as to summarize here?

When you remove the cloth the signal strength should increase significantly, but you'll know the dish is spot on no matter what the gods throw your direction.
