Hello,
I've messed up my DM800HD.
The box dropped its EPG and I attempted toupdate it through the Software Manager menu following advice from another thread. Some where here I managed to install an Italian EPG which wouldn't connect to anything.
I restored my backup file, yet am still unable to get the progs. Enigma 2 locks up during boot procedure.
When I input a channel number I get the onscreen message 'Service Unavailable' 'Check Tuner Configuration'
I notice in the reception settings, I can now only see Hotbird satellite where before I had Astra.

Please can anyone help?

Have you checked your tuner config m8?
 
Thanks for suggestion.
After spending what seems like ages, I think I'm beginning to get there.
The satellites.xml is only showing Hotbird, so I'm going to try deleting this and installing astra 28.2 instead.
Do you reckon this will wok, or am I likely to mess up further?
If it does, I then just need a reliable epg as satmate isn't onnecting at present.
Thanks for your help.
 
Can't you just go into the tuner config and select the correct tuner and sat?
 
I'd only got Hotbird showing, which I deleted and replaced with Astra. I've now got the channels back so am up and viewing again, only trouble is I can't get Satmate epg to download. I get a ' Sorry connection failed message' if I try manually. I could do with an alterenative as I've never had problems with the epg before. What are the best options please?
Thanks in advance
 
I would recommend CrossEPG m8,its rock solid
 
Is there a link and install instructions handy?

You dont say what image you are using but there should be an Addon's or Plugins menu were you can install it from,
once thats done then its just a matter of configuring it,bear in mind you really need either a usb stick or HDD installed to save the EPG to :)
 
Thanks for helping me with this.
I'm using blackhole and enigma2 on a clone 800hd with 250g HD
I don't see any epgs at all in the plugins and there's none available for download.
What might I try next?

OK I'm not at my PC right now but if you search for crossepg you should find the ipk file on here,FTP it to the /tmp folder on your box and use the boxes file installer option to install it,

Will be back on PC tomorrow if you get stuck :)

I've read your previous posts on this and already downloaded the file.
It'a currently sitting in the tmp folder, but I'm not familiar with the file installer.
Where can I locate this please?
Thanks again
 
download and run Tspanel mate, it's got every thing you ever needed on it.......from there you can install all this stuff and it'll do it for you if your not familiar with installing package files mate.
 
As Dibbers says if you have TSPanel addon available in your plugins then that would allow you to then download and install crossepg, but if not there is a telnet command for manually install of ipk files,but I can't remember it oops,

I think it may be ipkg install /tmp exact name of ipk file :)

I don't have the TSPanel available in plugin downloads.
There are two options.....system and extensions, neither show TSPanel or Cross epg.
I have direct connection to the box via my wireless network and can drag n drop files as needed.
If you know the location the file belongs in I can add it directly.
Cheers
 
yeah mate the tspanel plugin can be downloaded form here here and then install it using dreambox connect, or manual install it like your thinking of doing with cross epg.....once you have tspanel on mate you won't look back i promise ya!...

i don't have the commands handy for the manual installing of it how ever here is the ipkg file link to it mate here

Then for an easier option go grab your self dreambox connect and then from there you can install it, it's quite straight forard, change a few ip address and let it connect and then just install the pre-downloaded pkg file and away you go mate.

few of the pros put it in there tmp folder but i always take the easir option out....lololol boot up lap top, load dreambox connect, load tspanl.ipkg and then restart and you'll then see tspanel in your menu happy days!

Do you know how to use either DCC or telnet?
 
I was walking along quite nicely here.....the speeds suddenly increased to a run and I've tripped up.
DCC; telnet ????

lol sorry about that m8 :)

Try the following for telnet and see how far we get

On your pc
Start-Run and type in cmd, press enter
This should open up a command terminal,

then type in the terminal-telnet 192.168.x.x replace the x's with your actual box's ip address,
it should then ask you for a login first and then a password,these should be the same as your ftp login and password,be aware as you enter the password nothing will happen on screen til you press the enter key ;)

Lets know if you can get that far first m8 :)
 
Doodo mate, honest if i was starting out like you (like i done many moons ago) I'd wish I'd found DCC (dream box control center) and the Ts panel as a plug in ages and ages ago. You really would be doing your self a favor for now learning DCC and getting the Tspanel.....DCC will allow you to connect to the dream (the FTP option is there under DCC) and play with all the settings in a nice GUI, then go download the Ts Panel pluggin it's rich with every thing + every plug in (just about) that you can possibly want for your dream...then you can come back and learn how to manual install package files and the like.....honest guv i think it's the way forward for you and "new" folk to the dreams mate.

here is an example to the dream box connect and as you can see on the left hand side there's loads of options etc. this picture is for reference only to show you a quick glance at it.
