    Boot back into spark and do it from there. I can remember the exact process but it's pretty simple.

    Boot into spark and in the E2 upgrade plugin there will be an option for a back up under the green button

    Guys, I've tried installing Fresh Pot's image for the first time, and once I go to reboot back into Enigma, nothing is happening, it has been stuck on boot for the past half hour, any suggestions. This is my first time using Hyperion, I've used championc's image's fine in the past

    I had the same issue, flashing the image according to the method in this post worked for me.

    Hi,

    Just got this box today. Have been experimenting with some of the images uploaded here.

    Can anyone tell me how to re-scan the saorview channels and merge them back into the existing EPG wiothout a new EPG being spawned. For the life of me I cannot fine how to do this.

    Also, does anyone have a channel list for just the FTA/Freesat channels with saorview. All the images I have tried include all pay channels also.

    Edit: Ok, I found DreamBoxEdit, cheers.

    Menu-setup-service searching-manual scan. Then select the DVB-T runner, single transponder , enter the freq you need for MUX 1 in your area,8mhz, and clear before scan(others may advise on clearing) . Repeat for MUX 2

    Are you sorted for your FTA list now?

    Hi,

    Yeah, I'm using DreamBoxEdit to create a custom list to include Saorview and FTA. It's painful, but I want to only have the channels that are watchable in the list.

    If your image has autobouquets installed, just go to Menu/Servicesearhing/Autobouquets and press menu again and set "Scan free to air only" to yes.

    I got this once when the box did not recognise the USB stick - try another one (I use Kingston)
    Or try the method in post 2 of this thread (the Championc "fool proof" way)

    I have downloaded and installed Enigma2 and using the OpenATV skin. I've searched and read through most of the threads on here about Enigma but I'm struggling with setting up the channels list to be easy to find the most important channels (to me) at the top of the list.

    How can I mix and match the Sky Channels with the Terrestrial channels on the channels menu and sort them in the favourites list?

    When I select RTE 1 now (RTE is not tuning in) the menu performance slows down to where I cannot select or even move the selection bar on the menus. It almost prevents moving off the channel as the response is upwards of 1 minute to select or exit. Why does this slow down happen when a channel is selected that is not tuned correctly?

    T TO means the box cant find or read the correct folder for the upgrade. Make sure there is no spaces or strange characters in the file/folder names. Safest thing is just have the two files ("e2jffs2.img" and "uImage") in the root of the USB.

    The saorview coverage checker will tell you your local frequencies for a manual scan. Set it to clear the list the first time you scan terrestrial so you aren't trying to watch the wrong channels. Don't clear for the second frequency scan.

    cheers, tried a differant usb stick and it did the trick using spark plugin method. Fresh Pots image is nice, the only thing which has bugged me so far is the scrolling through menu's and EPG, it takes a few seconds initially to recognise the first command, then works fine, then freezes again. This is on all menu's , would anybody know what this might be, or is it purely a preference change I need to make somewhere?

    No, it's only for satellite, it reads sky's EPG. Saorview does not need it, it had it's own EPG, just click on a Saorview channel and it should populate

    How do you enter the frequency? My mast is Kippure which is 53 and 58 on the Saorview link you posted. When I go to manual scan I pick single transponder and type in 53000000 and nothing comes in. same for 58000000. If I do complete scan it finds about 10 TV channels.

    And set it to 8mhz? ( but since you did a complete scan, there is no further need for a manual scan, as long as you have all the channels, including rte 1 HD and tv3 (MUX 1 and 2))

    And then view one of the soarview channels (at least 30secs, but give it a 2 minutes) and the info/guide should populate

    No had it on the default which was 7mhz. Seem to have them all, just have to get epg working for them, nothing populates for them.

    This has come up a few times recently. I wonder is there more to it ?(eg transmitter fault, signal drop, network issues, weather)

    However, I have had something similar happen before. I live in an area that can pick up signal from different transmitters . one stronger than the other. If I do an automatic scan, the box will see both signals, and I may end up using one of the weaker signals, especially when I use dreamboxedit to arrange the channels (as I grab a terrestrial RTE from the list , and stick it in a bouquet, without checking its freq.) And sometimes the channel (future)info isnt always present. Bear in mind, that this is only a theory.
    A manual scan of a freq that you know is correct should ensure things are right. (Are you getting any pixilation on your soarview channels?)
    Anyway , try the following http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=94151285&postcount=2606

    And as Gerry said, there is no need to clear when scanning the second MUX (however, I'm not sure that you do any harm, if you did, but I stand to be corrected)

    Then , flick to RTE 1 HD or RTE 1 +1 (only available via soarview) for a few minutes. Others have reported this issue on this thread only a few pages back, and have noted that things rectified after a day or so.

    I'm having an issue with OpenATV 4.2 where I get a black screen on FTA channels after recording Saorview and vice versa. I can see a good SNR when I zap to the channels but no audio/video. Rebooting the box solves the issue. Has anyone experienced this and do you know how to fix? Really happy with Enigma2 otherwise.

    Why not set your box to shutdown on short press of the remote rather than enter into standby
    takes about 3 mins to start up from scratch on openatv so I would imagine hyper 4 to be similar
    I have always set mine to do a full shutdown

    This seems to be a fairly common complaint it can be replicated by stopping a recording mid way
    So if you were recording RTE and stopped the recording manually the other stations would be blank but if you just let it finish recording the stations would be ok
    unfortunately I did find this to be happening more and more with openatv even if you let it finish recording the stations would still go blank
    I found the only way to cure it was to restore a backup that I had done
    It would work normally for a few weeks then start going wiggy again

    I have since reflashed openatv ( dont try the software update in openatv ) with the latest nightly build and at the moment its fine but you do have to set it back up from scratch

    So if you have a backup reflash that

    Just thinking out loud here and haven't done much googling yet! I've 2 of these tuners now an AA2 and an AA2 +. Is there anyway to store the crossepg data on an external db and update it there? I've already got a Pi running 24/7 running MySQL for my XBMC library and OSCam for the AA2's and that works very well. So it would be nice to offload the epg too.

    The AA2 box flashes an icon on the VFD for each remote key press anyone know of a way to do that on the AA2+? I find the remote a bit poor and end up with multiple key presses a visual cue the key press had been received would be great on the AA2 +.

    Hi

    Apologies but COMPLETELY new to these boxes. Have some IT background (Alpha mainframes - I know - very old !) but hardly any Unix/Linux.

    Saying that, I can follow instructions pretty well, regularly flash my S5 phone etc

    Anyway, I've a SAB Unix Triple HD box and was working fine. But, was playing with channels, scanning etc and just wanted to get back to the original image it came with, as the EPG was all set up nicely. So, done factory reset and don't know if I didn't let it finish (seemed to be going for ages) but it is now stuck in a boot loop.

    I get the splash screen from Freetv.ie where I got it, and it disappears, come back again, off again etc

    I tried to download a Spark Image on a USB drive. Also tried Enigma2 image. Both times, I put them on the usb (16Gb) key on their own, formatted to fat32. started box with OK held down, went to FORC, pressed Vol Up to go to FACT, then it went to T and then TO (or T"zero") comes up. It didn't go to "U LD", as I had read in a few threads.

    Can anyone help ? I really need a dummies guide to sorting this.

    TIA
    Rob

    T TO means the box cant find or read the correct folder for the upgrade. Make sure there is no spaces or strange characters in the file/folder names. Safest thing is just have the two files ("e2jffs2.img" and "uImage") in the root of the USB.


    EDIT: guide here

    Another total newbie here. Have installed Champions OpenATV image and by and large it works great. However I have a couple of questions, some of which are probably incredibly stupid.

    1. I set a timer to record something last night. It says it worked. How do I play it back? I've tried pressing the play button but there's nothing listed under recordings.

    2. I can't pause live tv. I get this error - Creating hardlink to timeshift failed. Filesystem does not support hard links.

    3. There's a plugin called TS Media but no matter what I select I get the same error - No returned data.

    All help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Gerry. I actually had the whole Enigma2 folder on the USB drive.

    Then I thought to try booting into Spark and that worked. So, from there, I went to the Plugin folder and tried to select the Enigma2 upgrade, selected my USB drive and it worked.

    So, I have some version of Enigma2 now : )

    Very lost as to all the versions - the Enigma2 image I had from Freetv.ie is very different from the one I downloaded (from Open ATV nightly downloads). Once channel scan finished, I got to go figure out how I can install Cool TV Guide, which was on my other Enigma2 image.

    i'll keep muddling along !
