Is the A3 gonna be a flop?

The latest firmware doesn't seem to have fixed the glitching problem, I think this is one to avoid and definateley harms Amiko's reputation. But saying that ok for FTA and streaming.

Overall a good android box but as sat box ...:53_002: Oscam has been a problem from day 1. You would think there would be a stable release by now but nothing. So to say disappointed in understatement. Hopefully soon - has to be affecting sales.

plus the sponsor here should look into it or rattle a few cages and get a push on with regard to any fixes.

Why should the sponsor concern him self to chase after bug fixes for a receiver he does not even stock ?.

Again another car crash of a receiver from Amiko, it makes you wonder why they bother. You would have thought they would have learned from the Alien 2. I was hoping this box would be OK but if its main purpose for being isn't been fulfilled then its bit pointless. I'm glad i held off from buying one now.

pretty much nothing wrong with the Alien 2 now, mine works like a dream.

The Oscam glitch on the A3 is frankly ridiculous as is the lack of an EPG, you would have thought that these too areas were pretty much a priority but hey ho.

Not a flop as it is the best received I had so far after Dreambox, Cuberevo, Vu+ Duo and Qviart Undro.....with the right oscam.server settings the emu is working well and stable and a new version has been published today :)

If the measure of 'success' is a stable emulator then it's really a bit too early to say the A3 is a flop. The remote on this thing seems wonderful and if you've used XBMC it represents a welcome stride beyond Linux.

XBMC based satellite receivers have a lot going in their favour and I would suspect it's only a matter of time. The price to performance ratio amongst other things will probably be one of the hard to beat areas.

link? Also what settings need tweaking?

Edit: found link. Still no different to me currently.

1) Use your internet browser and go to yourboxip:8888
2) Login using "oscam" and "oscam" for user and password
3) Go to "Files" and select "oscam.server" from the menu

Copy/paste the text below using your values:

Sample Ccam line :

C: test.dummy.org 12005 1ZnKhp75 o76yddkfrr

"Oscam.server" must be :

[reader]
label = Dummy
protocol = cccam
device = test.dummy.org,12005
account = 1ZnKhp75, o76yddkfrr = 1ZnKhp75
password = o76yddkfrr
inactivitytimeout = 30
keepalive = 1
group = 1
cccversion = 2.1.1

Save and restart Oscam using the web interface of Oscam. Login again and go to Oscam/Config/Loadbalancer. Form the drop down select " 1- Fastet Reader First". Save and restart Oscam.
This is how I did and I'm using the latest Oscam.apk ( 0.5.4, build 1.25 )

For me Works Fine Oscam is set up like you posted before. I use good server lines without any problem at all. Maybe one cut in the picture in an hour. So I cannot be dissapointed with the box. I put developer firmware *57. I think .59 is still a bit buggy.
For me OScam no works very well anyway. I come from dreambox and always was atruoble emu. I prefer cccam because is more stable a fast.
Unfortunately Is not been written for Android.

I had a bit of spare cash in my PayPal account and have since purchased another Alien 2 to see if it has actually got any better. I'm not holding my breath if i'm totally honest. Don't think i'll be going anywhere near the Alien 3 for a good while though.

Run it with OpenA TV image, get a crash maybe once or twice a month and usually only when I'm messing around with the EPG. Other than that it works as it should with no problems for me.
