    if the one cable is fine in both tuners, and the other cable is dead in both tuners, then you have used whats known as the 'split method' process of fault finding, you have shown using one cable that both tuners are fine, the other cable is dead, this points to either that cable, the connections on that cable, or the LNB (if its a twin output lnb)


    assuming you have a single fixed dish outside, plug BOTH cables back in, and take a note of which tuner shows a signal, go to the dish, and swap the connections around on the LNB, if you have a quad LNB, ensure you use the same 2 connections for now


    if tuner1 had a signal, and still has a signal after swapping the cables around, then its a problem with the cable (or the connections on the cable) thats plugged into the input marked tuner2


    if tuner 1 had a signal, and after swapping the cables around tuner2 has a signal, then its a problem with the LNB, if you have a quad LNB, then use the free outputs and youll be back up and running (assuming theyre ok)

    as fraggle says, save for a while and get a proper receiver instead of a clone, if you spend your max £90 on a clone that dies after 6 weeks, then you have nothing, save for a few months and get an original receiver


    the Alien2 triple tuner receivers are around £160, and these run enigma2 as well as their spark os

    thats like asking 'whats the difference between a bog standard 5 year old ford focus, and a brand new ST ford focus'


    they both do EXACTLY the same thing ( both versions of the focus gets you from A to B, both versions of the Vu+ duo sat receiver allows you to watch TV)


    the 'extras' are just that. extras, improved performance, some little extra bits of hardware and improvements, but the end result is the same


    are the 'extras' worth over £200 to you?

    i use my own, fully paid for card, for my own multiroom use, so if i had said 'i have a line sorted for cccam, but some channels wont clear' would i also get jumped on in the same way? even though im using my own card, on my own LAN, but dont know exactly how cccam works (i dont use cccam myself btw)


    EVERYONE!!! was a newbie once, think back to the first time you flashed a receiver, or installed a plugin that you wasnt too sure about, it can be daunting


    at least find out the full details about the help thats being asked for first


    PS, i wouldnt trust cccam as far as i could throw a caravan

    i install tooway and beyondsl, they have download speeds of up to 20Mb and upload speeds of up to 6Mb, but, you do have limits of monthly bandwidth, and this changes depending on how much per month you pay. tooway fees are as low as £20 a month, and when you think about it, you dont have to pay line rental, so it is actually cheaper, especially if you dont do a lot of downloading, but, some packages have 'unmetered' downloads between 23:00 - 06:00


    for CS and online gaming, the ping is too slow, but, for general internet use, including iplayer etc, its perfect


    i live in wales, and my home BB line is 2MB download and 100kb upload, which i pay (including line rental) about £25 a month for, so have thought about binning the phone line, and going for the sat BB myself

    enter the MAC of the PC into the routers reserved IP page m8, i have a HP linux ubuntu Pc, that has its IP set by the router, a raspberry Pi, and all my sat receivers, their IP never changes, no matter what i change on the software side of things, as the IP is issued to the individual MAC addresses, everything else (xbox, Wii, PS3, smartphones, tablets and windows laptop) is all DCHP enabled so they get whatever IP is available

    in your router settings you should be able to 'reserve' an IP address for a specific MAC, this is how i have all my stuff set up, so even after reflashing a receiver with a different image etc, itll always have the same IP address as the router issues that address to that MAC

    You have to be in it, to win it.

    its not my guide :)


    im simply editing the skin i found that abell431 has been playing with, and cleaned up a few bits and started editing to my own taste, and at the same time learning quite a lot about how skins work etc :) (all via notepad and a million enigma restarts lol) i kept the miniTV on the right, as thats also how it is on an official sly hd receiver. i know ive not got time over the next few days to sit and play again, so ill strt again on the weekend, i have a slyhd receiver setup and ill 'tweak' things a little bit more


    EDIT, this is in reply to post #94, thatll teach me to leave it so long between loading a page and replying lol

    i couldnt get yours to go onto my box using the directions, it kept leaving me in a state with NO cooltvguide at all, then someone posted me a screenie of your one, and i noticed some cooltv code at the bottom of abells skin file, so started playing with that, and thats what i ended up with


    the full xml will be given to abell, and he will then decide if he wants to use any of it or not, as ive only really edited it for how i like things :)


    EDIT: the sly box skin is nothing to do with me m8, i first saw it on the pli forum, and from there started to play to fix little things that were out of place etc, according to the xml, it originated from the dreambox forum, but afaik, its mainly abells work

    dididue


    if u get time could u try the version v.2.2.2 on that and sort the .pyo use my coolguide v2.2.2 nice sly skin not the oe 2,o skin its not as nice..
    and post it here with instructions for every to install it.
    then put your name and my name to it so the techno lovers will like it.if u need anything from me just ask but I think everything that is needed have already uploaded here...


    ill be trying this out today m8, the files you sent me are all .pyo files already, ive a feeling these will throw errors on the TM800HD after its restarted due to the python version they were compiled under, ill let you know though
