Hey all...

There seems to be a shortage of updated X5 (.bin ) channel lists available...
so please find attached one I managed to create.

Please "like" the post if it works for you.

For the Greater Good!

Hi, just to update on this

I have uploaded this and it has only 22 channels.

It is possible because I never factory reset my box that, that is the problem though I doubt it because if I upload others I saved, they go back in fine.

Anyone have any thoughts?

If I do manage to get db_tool working I will amend my list and post up

obviously I appreciate the o/p for making the effort to help.

Got it now

There's a drop down list when you hit ^ (next to like)

Caught me that did

cheers

As title, no thanks button, though I did post a reply also

anyone help please as I could do with the file that is hidden

cheers

I have posted "elsewhere" a couple of days or so ago about my problem and, as yet no one has been able to assist so I am hoping I can get advice here please.

I do the usual and all is fine until I reboot.

Once rebooted I ask it to getepg and it takes a second and stops then at that point it is solidly locked.
This obviously means there is no way of getting full epg.

There was similar thing that the "init" file cured in 14.6

Strangely this happens ALMOST but not every time (9 out of 10) despite doing exactly the same thing each time.

I am hoping I can resolve this because this image is by far the best image (imho) available, so thanks to all who helped it happen
and continue to support it.

So to recap:
Flash, getepg all is fine
reboot, getepg box is locked solid

Thanks for reading.

Hi mate (bit puzzled)

have upped the 3 files in zip to correct place but I notice this ipk installer

sorry to be dumb but what do I do with it and how is it used.

I assume I copy to tmp

appreciate help thanks

IPK installer, tested and working on ViX image..

Can not seem to get a fix for this so appreciate help please.

A friend was missing some asian channels so I told them to do a scan & set location etc which they did.

They told me there was no epg so I went over & pressed get rtepg and it immediately showed 0.0.0 etc, loading complete 0 minutes 0 seconds

No amount of reboots or re copying over "init" helps.

I then brought it back and re-flashed the box, now it works fine after copying said "init" fix over.

Which means that if I get someone to do a "set_my_location" it will corrupt and will need a box swap

So to recap:

1. A new scan for channels is done (bouquets messed up)
2. Do a set my location (bouquets are fine)
3. No epg so pressing "get rtepg" takes a split second and finds nothing)

The only thing I can do is fetch every box back and reflash or tell them not to scan
This is a major problem as some live VERY far away and can only be posted.

Appreciate knowing why it is happening please

thanks very much

Sorry for slow response

I popped it (14.6) on another box and apart from the odd "appearing to lock problem" it's been fine.

I have all sorts of boxes "on test" and have both motorised and static dishes to switch between.
I realise that when I have an issue it usually is the image or the box as opposed to my broadband.

I suspect just an iffy flash on first box, hence original "why is my box locking" bleat.

This image is way better than any pli image I have used on a 500 though I do like the openpli image on a vu+ box

Thanks for your help, as always I really do appreciate feedback.

ps (via edit)

thanks, I realised later the part you mention (quoted below) about auto bouquet, but as it was still locking did not post to say I had that bit sorted.

After selecting your regions you need to run the next item on the menu (auto bouquets)

Hi firstly I can't even guess how much hard work has gone into this release.
I realise it's a beta version also.

So thanks for your hard work.

I am not a great fan of the pli jade image mainly due to epg issues, so have jumped at trying 14.6
after being of advised of it's improvements over 14.5.
=====================================================================

I have tried it over the last few days in between testing other images including commando 14.5 which are ok and do not freeze.

Example:
I am trying to set my BBC & ITV region.

I select BBc2 England then ITV Midlands, it then gives a choice of east & west, it then saves it.
On going back it shows London areas and not Midlands, it then freezes solid requiring hard reset and has done it a few times.

As I say, I know it's beta.

I would also be happy to test such images for them and provide feedback if they wanted as I have spare boxes and time on my hands.
