  • Amiko Channel List editor ..


    I also purchased the setedit tool for the opticum and amiko boxes. Worked great for about a year and then all went pear shaped. As the other post mentioned some sort of problem with FAV editing. No support what so ever from the supplier of setedit. Maybe it's designed to give you a years service.

  • Amiko editor that works

    Hi All,
    I always had a problem when trying to edit channels on both Opticum and Amiko boxes using my PC. About 18 months ago I came across setedit mini and decided to purchase it and give it a try. All Ok for about a year or so but now I have all sorts of things going wrong with it such as not displaying my Fav's etc,etc. I tried on several occassions contacting the vendor but never got any reply. My friend purchased the same tool on my advise and is having similar problems. My question is, is there a tool out there that actually works. I also tried the Ali editor tools but found these crap. I need to setup favourites, moove channels around, rename etc,etc.
    I realize that these boxes are not linux based but surely it's not rocket science to get an edit tool to work correctly, or is it ????.


    Thanks in advance.

  • debian server fault finding

    Thanks for your response.
    I may have confused you on the ecm figurers. They vary between .200 and .313's. I am running CCCam 213. The problem seems intermittent. It's fine today with the same ecm times. What should I look for in the logs. I never looked at them before but am willing to learn.

  • debian server fault finding

    Hi All,
    The debian server that I built a few years ago thanks to the help I received from this site, may now be running a little bit suspect. I am trying to narrow the fault down to (A). Server problem, (B). Internet problem or (C), other issue.
    Problem is that some channels will 'glitch' for a short while and then run fine for say 2 or 3 minutes. The ecm's all seem to be in the .200 to .3130 region. I have 2 X smargo's installed and have tried the server with one smargo at a time and compared results. Removing one smargo appears to make no difference to the problem.
    What is the best way to check out the internet connection to the server. Is using VE network catcher the right approach for checking the internet service or should I be looking at log's etc to help find my problem.
    Any advise is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Vu+ duo image advise

    Update,
    I reflashed with 2.0.7 and now all is OK. Booting takes about 2 minutes or so.
    P.S. The replacement U801 costs less than one euro. Thats why I ordered and received 20 of them for 21USD.

  • Vu+ duo image advise

    Hi Master G.
    This is what I get from telnet.
    root@bm750:~# free
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 138492 120740 17752 0 172 42640
    -/+ buffers/cache: 77928 60564
    Swap: 0 0 0


    To clarify. The slow booting issue was present long before U801 went faulty. I think that it gradually got slower over time. After a reflash, booting time was fine.
    Also, I just noticed that the HD seems to be running during the long booting process. Don't know if this is normall.

  • Vu+ duo image advise

    Thanks pheonix,
    I have a feeling that your option 1 suggestion may be worth investigating. How do I create a boot log and post on this forum for further advise.
    This problem is present for the past year. Receiver operates ok just as long as I don't power cycle it. The IC U801 was faulty so I replaced it and the associated 220uf capacitor. The voltages on the 3 reg ic's all seem fine. I can now confirm that I am running BH 2.0.7.

  • Vu+ duo image advise

    Hi All,
    Just repaired my Vu+ duo which had a faulty IC 802. All working again. However the box for quiet a while takes a long time to boot. I often have time to go for a pint and when I return home all will be OK. I am running BH 2.0.1 ? (cannot check exactly version as it is booting at the moment). When I first installed this image it only took a few minutes. I have un-ticked as many addons as possible such as auto resolution, DVD player etc but this has had no effect. Any Ideas other than install a newer version of BH.
    Thanks in advance.

  • opticum X7 canal plus problem

    Hi All,
    I have been trying different emu sw on an opticum X7 and have been getting different results with a problem when watching Canal+ sport on Astra 19e. With the older sw version amstar 1.3.81 the picture freezes and takes all sorts of messing around to restore a picture. Versions amstar 1.4.80 and 1.5.05 are a great improvement with the picture freezing once every 10 - 15 minutes but returning after 5-10 seconds. Does anyone have any idea of what steps to take.

  • Canal+ question

    Hi All,
    Just wondering what Canal+ France card on 19e is the best for sharing. I understand that there is a problem with BeIn sport on this pack.

  • X7 HD boot problem

    Quote from hs5424

    Hi szprot
    Tried the Ariva 200 loader.
    Looked good at first as it now went to 100%. When finished I got a notice 'sdram fail'.


    Eureka,
    Tried older sw first with the loader you suggested and all worked 100%. I will try some of the other boxes that I was having similar problems with.
    Thanks again sdprot5

  • X7 HD boot problem

    Yet again I have a problem with an X7 during boot. This receiver will display 'BOOT' and then 'ON' and thats it.
    I tried to reflash it with sw 1.3.81 but it goes to 87% of the process and stops. I tried 1.3.41 and got a notice on my PC about wrong boot loader. This problem during a full Auto scan installation. I am using the rs232 cable option.
    Any Ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

  • X7 HD boot problem

    Hi All,
    I have an Opticum X7 that when powered up just displays the lcd time 0000. It will not boot at all. I checked all psu voltages and all appear ok.
    Any suggestions.
