You`re correct alimac. I think the situation now puts all Sky subscribers in a good position to negotiate discounts on their subscriptions. I had a chuckle where the Sky statement says " Our commitment to our customers is this: We will spend every penny that we were going to pay to Discovery on more and better content that our customers value. This will come from sources around the globe and home grown shows and documentaries from the UK. We will continue to offer customers a huge range of content including hundreds of shows from The History Channel, National Geographic, PBS, Sky Arts and Sky Atlantic, along with more amazing sport on Sky Sports Mix, available to all our customers. " Oh yeah, what have you been doing over the last 5 / 10 years? You keep repeating everything. I think we`re lucky to get new content every 3 / 6 months.

This is turning into a catch 22 situation. Let me start by saying I like the discovery channels!! Now I think both parties are in a dilemma here. Firstly sky, for me, all they have to offer now is sport and documentaries, they`ve lost out to the streaming sites when it comes to movies. No one in there right mind would subscribe to movie channels now. So they rely heavily on the sports and documentaries. When you analyse the Discovery channels, they are good but Sky like everything else they broadcast, they repeat over and over again, day in day out for months on end. There have been times over the last couple of years I`ve wanted to cancel my subscription. Sky have this great tactic of advertising a "new" show. They say " new to the History Channel ", yeah new to that channel but it was on a different channel 3 months ago with a slightly different title. Then you have the Discovery provider who is threatening to take it from the Sky platform. Where will they broadcast these channels? Because I for one, for the very reasons I just stated, I wouldn`t subscribe to them. I`m happy to have them in my Sky package but I wouldn`t pay a premium for them. I think both parties need each other or else they will both lose big time.

I've got a 1.25 gibertini using a diseqc motor. It cost £230 new without the motor. But a great dish any how.

Bargain!!

Before you do a fresh install of the plugin, you have to make sure you have deleted all files related to remedial. I found a couple of files I didn't know were there. Unfortunately I can't remember where they were. You'll have to go through the folders on your box.

I really don`t know why you cannot get 1channel working again. I hadn`t had it working for months yet when I used the domain name you posted it worked. I can only suggest you do the procedure I did. Firstly I did exactly as Desmond Tutu suggested in post 20. Then I deleted the default skin in the TSmedia desktop settings and now all is well.

bo.

Thanx nitro and mafaraj. 1channel is working for me again for the first time in months.

Strange thing I tried that link in my browser like many times in the past and it's not blocked. But 1channel never works for me.

I finally found the problem in my setup. Everytime I opened the TSmedia plugin after a fresh install, it would go straight to downloading an HD skin, after it reboots itself then I would have the problems. So after the last time this happened, I went to the skin setup in the TSmedia plugin. There, there is only one skin(default) listed. So I deleted it to see what would happen. It worked, everything is setup correctly, no more out of place curser or half a main screen.

Movies 123 and afdah work fine for me.

Well they worked ok when the plugin was stable for me. But now no matter what I do, the plugin just seems all over the place. Even though I add the afdah plugin, it doesn`t show anywhere. I did as enigma said in post 22 and I`m still getting the same problems. The curser going past the category I choose, half the main screen showing and green screens when I select a category. Only movies 123 works for me.

If you`re in the UK, I think you can only get this working if you use a vpn. I may be wrong, but I`ve haven`t had this working for months.

bo.

Thanx bud. I will do it tonight after work.

bo.

I spoke too soon. The plugin has updated itself as it should, and all the problems have come back. The cursor goes past the category I'm choosing. Also I get the green screen when I select certain categories. The only solution is to reinstall the plugin but then it updates itself at some point and I'm back to square one.

bo.

Thanx for clearing that up mfaraj57. I was also having these issues after doing updates. I updated the other day and tsmedia was all over the place, so I did a fresh install of the latest full version and I haven`t tried any updates and it has been fine ever since.
Thanx for your great work bud.

Yes,just install the original package of tsmedia,tsmedia will manage new updates without any action from user

just do this and do not install anything else
send this command from telnet window and restart e2

Code

opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-tsmedia && opkg update && opkg install -force-overwrite http://www.tunisia-dreambox.info/TSmedia/software_official/enigma2-plugin-extensions-tsmedia_11.5_all.ipk

i am sure 99% of VU box owners would not agree........

So you are saying 99% of vu owners are using payservers? I would find that very hard to believe. I don`t doubt some are but I would think the majority of us are on friends / family servers.

Seems greed strikes again!

Free IPTV services are a waste of time when it comes to football.The only way you would get decent football viewing on IPTV is if you paid for it. But even if you bought an IPTV service you`d still only get the match you wanted if it was being broadcast one of the IPTV channels. To get your foot on the CS ladder you should have something to share back. Some share a cheap XXX card. But you can sometimes hit lucky with free CS exchanges.

bo.

Maybe IPTV is the way to go. I've played about with it over the last year and found it unreliable. I know a few friends who pay for it and say it's good. Fair enough but using satellite is a hobby and I'm not willing to pay people who fleece you. As I say it's a hobby and you get fun out of learning. Anyway that's all off topic. I think this thread has ran its course. Mackem79 will get all the help he needs from here when he decides to go for it.
