Edited channels revert to previous name

Cable? Sat? IPTV? Box? Which Image?

Edit your channel names via the channel select screen then.

Press TV button on your remote.

Enter a bouquet

Press Menu

(2) Rename Entry

Note if you have autobouquetmaker running this will probably override any name changes when it does an update.

Recommend turning off auotbouquetmaker and doing a manual scan periodically.

And curious? if using sat tv, why do you need to rename the channels.

Hi ferez,

I have an sf8008, what you need to do is go into menu:

Menu/Setup/User interface/Customize

then scroll down to:

Disable background scanning

Change/Set this to yes

This should stop the sf8008 from reverting your rename back to the original name

GOOD LUCK...!!!!

a box stopping at 49% is usually a skin error.

Go into menu... system..log settings

enable debug logs... yes

handle python crashes... no

crash at skin error for debug reasons? no

Then next time your box gets stuck

ftp into your box (ask if you don't know how to do that)

and your last debug/crash logs live in

/home/root/logs

from the last log, you should be able to see what caused the boot loop.

Fix the error or delete the skin and you will come out of the bootloop. No need to reflash.

Cheers voomvoom, I have done that, many thanks.

I have had my SF8008 for about 6 weeks now but innthe last week it has stopped booting up at 49% and I have had to reinstall everything again. Have you had this problem?

I have been using enigma2 receivers for a few years and had the name change happen often in the past. Some time back someone shared with me what to do about it, and it worked. So now if I can help someone by passing that info along, then here is my chance.

I have not had any boot problem (yet) with the sf8008. I have had boot problems with other enigma2 receivers (AZBoxMe and Icecrypt 3750). I have always just installed a new image to fix it. Now, thanks to what Kiddac has posted, I have something new to try, if I run into a similar problem. I should say, the next time I get a similar problem. I'm sure it's just around the corner?

Thanks!

Al

If you don't crash your box at least once a week, you are watching too much tv. Play and experiment a little :)
