  • Tenda W150M disconnecting from router/reconnects every 30minutes....?

    I'm hitting a snag with my Tenda W150M and Eaglebox HD800, it's all rigged up correctly, well at-least I believe it is, but it keeps disconnecting to the SuperhHub Router every 30 minutes, then reconnects. It's like something is causing a timeout every 30 minutes. Iv'e been watching when it drops and it's always every 29-30 minute mark according to my router when i watch connected device list in superhub info. It's definitely not a signal issue though, it's a clear path.



    I'll connect the Tenda upto the laptop later to check logs for it, if it shows any, Virgin SuperHub is useless for logs. It's all fine and dandy via ethernet with cable from reciever direct to hub. I haven't checked what firmware the Tenda is, so i'll upgrade to the latest when I connect it up (If it isn't already the latest).



    What do you guys recon it could be?


    In my SuperHubs device list info, when the Tenda disconnects/reconnects it creates a new Ip each time too.


    Any help would be appreciated, thanx.

  • Eaglebox HD800 Will not save my settings like Newcamd server details/SPDIF/time etc.

    Hi, got my Eaglebox HD800 all set up, but it will not save anything, when iv'e inputted the newcamd server details, everything is successful.
    I also change S/PDIF to Bitstream and change the time clock, but if I power off to standby or at the wall, it boots back up with card sharing to disables and lsoes all my settings, WTF!!! I cant live with that. Wtf is wrong with it. Iv'e patched it to the latest patch, super settings don't stay enabled too.


    It's like the receiver has no memory!


    HELP please, thanx.

  • Audio output on Eaglebox HD800 - Can this this receiver output 5.1?

    I haven't set up the receiver yet, wont be doing that till the weekend. Just opened it up to read the manual and it says:
    Audio Mode: Left, Right, Stereo
    SPDIF: Set to Bitstream, Mute, PCM


    This is bugging me as from my understanding;
    Bitstream - will send the raw digital audio without processing out of the receiver to the Amplifier to process/convert.
    PCM - the player will convert all audio and output as 2 channel PCM.


    Or have I got this wrong? why isn't it Linear Multi Chanel PCM etc?


    So to my question, does this receiver definitely output 5.1 from the Digital Coax 1xRCA? As i definitely require 5.1 output. Do any of you know the answer, have you tried it?
    If the receiver sends raw Multi channel digital audio through the digital coax, then it's upto the Amplifier to decode it on the fly. If this is the case then my Amp will only accept DD/DTS/AC3 as it cannot decode AAC.
    Do any channels even broadcast in AC3? or is it all AAC? :(


    Also how come the USB port is at the back, i'm sure most Eagle HD800 (non Mini) are at the front under the flap with the Card slot.


    Please reply thanx.

  • Ok, got a Eaglebox HD800, what to do first? in what order?

    Just opened the box of my Eagle HD800, and the USB port is at the back, hmm. The Box and the manual seems all legitimate, there doesn't appear to be any false advertisements like there originally was with the lan share etc. Regarding favorites etc, it mentions that you can create favorites, move channels in order of preference and rename channels etc. I guess i'll see if this is a lie or not :) .... In the hardware section of the manual i'm sure it said it has a 300mhz processor and 2x ddr2 512mb ram, uhmm. I'll do a lil recording of the unboxing later today. The manual does mention about the decoding of video H.264 codec and AAC audio codec etc, but in the file formats, it doesn't mention MKV etc, just Avi, VOB, MPG, Dat. And regarding the digital coax rca ouput, instead of mentioning you can gain a 5.1 audio experience from that it just says "use for a better stereo experience" lol.


    [Edit] Yeah in Main system specifications in the manual it says:
    CPU - 300Mhz, BGA.
    Flash - 64M Byte
    S-Dram - DDR2 2X512M,Byte


    And i'm a bit worried with the Audio Mode: Left, Right, Stereo
    And SPDIF: Set to Bitstream, Mute, PCM


    So Bitstream - will send the raw digital audio without processing out of the receiver to the Amplifier to process/convert


    PCM - the player will convert everything to and output as 2 channel PCM

    Quote from seamouse

    let me know if in fact you can really rearrange the favs, as on 4 sites they say u cant and i just binned the mini one of the eagle, as yes, it gets channels, yes u can move things into favs,


    BUT you cant then arrange inside


    ie, bbc1 bbc2 itv etc , as they didnt bring out a channel editor on their site ( posted in dec last year ) as well as you have to restart cccam each time u reboot

    Ok I will do when me and my brother connect it all up hopefully Friday Night.
    I also read what you have just mentioned, I read that (if you cannot move the channels in the order you want) the only way to do it is create your favorite channel list in the order like you said, it will take a while yes, but bit by bit, should be worth it.


    So you would click BBC1+BBC1 HD Favorited first, BBC 2, BBC3, ITV1 and so on instead of like *** Sports 1 - *** One - Channel 5 etc.


    BTW, in your sig with your speedtest screenie, shouldn't you be on 8-10MB upload or are you waiting for Virgin to fix that? :)

    yes - scan for your channels and arrange them how you want then back up.


    Don't need to be a linux guru for an enigma receiver - although it does help = that is what we are here for, to help when you are stuck and for all the info on here! I am not a linux guru by any means! - I just use the info that is already there and learn along the way.


    as far as I know - radio doesn't work if you patch your box so you would probably want to patch your box and lose the radio - no it doesn't mean music video channels, just radio.

    You have been most helpful, I really appreciate it. Yeah well that's fantastic Radio Channels are so annoying and clutter your receivers up if you don't delete them to begin with, so that's a bonus. There seems to be more and more Radio channels all the time, especially Non English ones!


    This is my first Satelite receiver like this, been a while since the good old NTL/virgin days, lol I even remember the On-Digital dodgy solder looking cards hanging out of them lmao.


    Anyway, As I said, do you know if this Eaglebox works with 3D channels?
    Do you know if it can decode AAC 5.1 via USB?

    of course before you do step 3, backing up your settings - get your channel lists sorted out as this is what you are backing up! - yes the last step can be done last and is only needed if you want to use softcam keys - which you might not need anyway if you have a share. These are very basic boxes - but at the price they are being sold at now are good value. I bought one for twice the current price and when I sold it I only got the price it is being sold at now!

    What do you mean "Get your Chanel lists sorted out"? So your referring/suggesting I should create my favorite list/deleting channels etc? Then backup?:) ... Or must i add something to the machine?


    Yes they are very basic boxes I know, this is one of the reasons I bought it, my brother has a DM800 and it seems so damn complicated but it's nothing for him since he's a silly Linux guru. o.o


    I get a years warranty on it anyway, i'll probably upgrade it to something similar to the DM800pro or something or a VU box at a later date but for now this should certainly make me happy, I only want the Sport/History Channels! :)


    BTW, Do you know if this receiver works with 3D channels?


    On another note, I herd in the last patch, all radio channels are deleted, does that include music video channels like MTV/Viva etc? As my lass would want them for sure! :(

    yep that seems right - the last one 'to load a softcam by usb' is referring to softcam key files - not softcam as such - the softcams are enabled by installing the patch and enabling super settings, which you have already covered.

    Ahh ok, it's kinda confusing different forums mention different things, so I just need to complete steps 1,2 & 3 and all should be bob on?


    I'm also going to be using a Tenda W150M 150Mbps Mini Wireless AP/Router, but if that doesn't perform to well then i'll resort to using a 10m Ethernet cable until I eventually install some Homeplugs which I really could do with.

  • Ok, got a Eaglebox HD800, what to do first? in what order?

    Hello all, got a brand new Eaglebox HD800 and will be rigging it up either Friday/Saturday.


    What do I need to do first?


    Is it in this order?... Please help, thanx.


    1st) Install latest patch:

    Quote

    Download (aquila april 2012 patch) and put on a usb stick and uploaded to the box.
    (To patch by USB):
    Extract the bin file to a USB stick and insert it in your Eaglebox HD
    Go to; Menu - Setting - Upgrade - USB/Card Upgrade - /udska1
    Select the file
    Press OK and wait.. the receiver will reboot.


    2nd) Turn on Super Settings and manually input my (Cccam or Newcamd) line and test to see if it is successful.


    3rd) Backup/Restore Eaglebox HD Settings


    Have I got this order correct? Or must I also install a Softcam???

    (EagleboxHD Softcam
    (To load a softcam by USB):

  • HELP on what WiFi Dongle Bridge to get for my Eaglebox HD800

    Hi all, does anyone have any experience with using a wifi dongle bridge with a receiver like the ***box F3/Eagle/Openbox's etc.



    Can anyone point me in the direction of what dongle to use and if anyone has had any success with one, if so which?


    Don't come out with, just use a wired connection. Yes I could do that if i wanted even more cables running through everywhere along with a massive HDMI/Optical cable etc which comes from my PC.


    Thanx!
