    Hi All,

    New problem today with an Amiko mini combo extra. I have 4 sat feeds via a diseqc switch running no problem . I changed one of my sat feeds from 30w to Thor .8w and scanned in all the channels on Thor ok. However now when I press the OK button followed by the red (group) button, the box locks up at this point and will not respond to any button. If I copy the channel plan to another new box via usb stick I get the same problem. For some reason adding Thor seems to have caused the problem. All versions of firmware have been tried with no success. If I replace Thor with Hispassat all is OK.

    Any ideas.

    Hi All,

    I supplied and fitted a Zegemma H7 with Vix for a friend about 3 years ago. I use a Tiviar and have had zero issues with it for the past 5 years, however they are no longer available so the Zegemma H7 was a suggested alternative.

    Recently my friend is having trouble with the Epg guide not being displayed properly. It appears as there is only now and next displayed. I had him try a force epg download but he is getting a fail error notice. The box is not online . I used cross epg and open TV providers as this never fails on my Tiviar. Both are running the same Vix image.

    Any ideas.

    I am confused as to the difference between Eleven Sports and Eleven 1, which seems to be advertising the premiership football.

    Eleven 1 seems OK where as Eleven Sports freezes.

    I have been having problems with my 1810 card recently and came across this article on this site.


    Can some explain if this is an addon or where to put it in my oscam.

    Thanks zilizila,

    Followed your advise and now have new file called oscam_checker placed in cron.d with the following contents */5 * * * * root /var/script/OscamCheck.sh

    I suppose if I send a command to stop oscam for testing it should restart in 5 mins if I am correct.


    Thanks again.

    I moved from older post location.

    I want to check if my ubuntu server has a check in place to restart oscam every 5 mins or so should things go wrong. The shell script is present in the var/script location ok, however I am confused as I don't have a single crontab file. I have hourly, daily, weekly and monthly crontab folders in etc/. In the hourly folder there is an empty file called .placeholder. Do I need to rename this and insert */5 * * * * root /var/script/OscamCheck.sh


    Any help appreciated.
