    Depending on the image normally via the blue button or the green-green button or menu-plugins-green button.


    If you are trying this on a stock image you will need to install either the Linuxsatsupport plugin or TSPANEL first or better still reflash with a adpted image first (ATV, BH, ViX or VTi). Not in any preferential order BTW.

    £350 for a £500 setup is a give away! :snicker:


    Had mine almost a year and itching for new horizions now. So it too may be up for grabs soon.


    Currently playing with ATV which is rapidly becoming my new image of choice.............................just can't stop fiddling but then isn't that what this hobby is all about?

    OE2 does not currently support multiboot (BA/Meo).


    Only way to run an OE2 image is in flash but you will need to use flashexpander or similar (depending on image of choice) to expand your universe especially if you intend to run a lot of plugins etc.


    Be warned that if you do this you will no longer be able to run your 'old' images currently on the USB unless you flash back to an OE1.6 image.

    It's £25 for a FTV card from Sty. Is this the only option, if one does not have or want to have a Sty sub, for viewing using a card in a sat box?


    PS: It will probably also cost you another £25 to call the b'stards to order one and then, even worse, you'll then be known to them opening yourself up to eternal harrassment from their marketting team.

    He means you can get a Freeview card from Sty TV if you do not already have a subsciption and add BT to it but it will still cost money. You can find out more on their website if you google 'FTV card'.


    How it done is posted here by Master G.

    Like anything that is released these days, there are teething problems which are improved as time goes on via the development and release of firmware updates. Seems we are the proof testers in this modern age. :)


    Be nice to read your findings & feelings now that you have the mighty Solo2 in your possession und wir bedanken uns bei dir im voraus. :snicker:

    Can't login as anonymous. You have to login with 'root' as the username.


    No need to specify port 21.
    Password can be blank using F'zilla but not using DCC or VUCC. There you also need to use root and a password (default is usually still 'dreambox' even on VU boxes).
    Also need a password if using other FTP clients like CuteFTP.

    If, like me, you want a dedicated IP, then DHCP is not the best option unless you have a router that allows you to set reservations.


    What often happend with some E2 images is that after you set them up and do a restart they forget the DNS settings which gives the error you describe. I am still at a loss as to why this happens. I bet if you went into the settings both DNS settings would be wrong or even 0.0.0.0


    You can either put the DNS addresses in, in full or just enter your router IP address as the first entry so the STB uses the router's settting. I normally use the router IP coz I'm too lazy to input both addresses. lol


    In the /etc folder there is a file called resolv.conf. The entry in the existing one looks like this "resolv_conf=/var/run/resolv.conf". This leads one via a link to an area which is lost after a restart so may be the reason why it forgets the settings. In effect it will mean readding every time you do a restart.


    I delete the file from /etc and replace it with one that contains my nameservers which looks like this "nameserver 192.168.1.1"

    I enjoy boxing but I can be asked to watch it live nor on TV.


    Tickles me that they are now rolling out 4K TV's when the world hasn't even had HD implemented properly yet! Most channels are still in Sh*t Definition and watching these on HD LED/LCD boxes is an insult to the eyes. Now they want £2 extra and one has to wonder if this will become a trend per channel that moves to or adds HD. At that sort of rate the average Joe will end up needing to work a second job so as to be able to afford to maintain his Pay TV addiction.

    Should work OK. This looks more like a network issue to me. You do have networking setup on your STB don't you? I have seen this happen when an STB does not pick up DNS settings but if you have set the network adaptor to use DHCP then this should not be relevant. Worth checking your network settings and running the test via menu-setup-system-network. If using WLAN make sure it's connected to the right AP and has the required configuration.

    Steve is right on the money, it's not card sharing. Hobbyists Card Share. PayServers sell stolen goods which are quite often reshares of hobbyists cards and another major reason why they are hated so much.


    While watching the program I could not help feeling that Sty might have paid good money to sponsor it because it came over staged and enacted. It was also not completely factually correct either. Either way the cat is most definately out of the bag now. So it's over to Alixp to order a shed load of F5S's! NOT.


    Stypox/Openpox. Who in their right mind would do that to themselves let alone their worst enemies? :snicker:

    Not sure about 75W but from what you have written it should just work and yes, you should just be able to select a sat in your channel list pick a channel and off it should go to it.
    Setup up on '0' I assume?
    Can you see the dish from where the STB is? If so why not change channel to Film4 and see if it kicks into life?

    OK Let's step back.
    Do you get any TV from it at all at the moment?
    Maybe a stupid question but your STB is not connected directly to the LNB is it? Should got to motor in and then from motor out to lnb.
    How did you set the dish (which reference sat did you use)?
    Have you tried GOTO '0'?
    Are any of the LED's on the motor illuminated?
    Can you move the motor using the buttons on the motor itself (if it has any of course)

    What STB are you using?
    Does your dish sit on a motor?
    What type of motor is it?


    If you want to use USALS you need to tell it where you are by entering your lon & lat.


    Menu-Setup-Service Searching-Tuner Configuration
    Simple
    Positioner
    Latitude
    Longditude


    OK
