What am I up to today.
Reinstalling the very latest openatv 6.3 after I bricked my box :)
It always amazes me the number of people who rely on pre made backup builds to use their enigma2 boxes.
Use one to learn the basics. Then learn to do it yourself. The best thing you will learn to do.
One of the very first things I learnt to do with my box was set up a fresh image of how I wanted it.
So as I am bored. And maybe it will help people in fear of doing this themselves and actually highlight how easy it is from start to finish.
This is I how I set up my box with openatv for 28.2e single satellite.
Once you have done this a few times, it should only take about 15-20mins to reflash and setup your box with barebones plugins and the settings how you personally like them. No unneeded plugins and settings you will find in pre made backup images that are trying to cater for everyone rather than just YOU.
*note before you start a new flash - a reflash clears most things off your box. Make sure you have copies of all important information before continueing.
clines, nlines, iptv details, config files, crons, even picons if you don't want to download them all again. etc. Never rely on the box backing things up. Copy them to a computer first. You have been warned.
I recommend you have 2 newly formatted USB flash sticks for this process.
