Known issues: -

• USB Tuners not currently supported.
  
• OpenWebif screenshots not functioning 100%.
• Please be aware that using the front power button on the TM-Twin was designed with the original factory firmware in mind and not Enigma 2 images. It will not place the receiver into standby, but shut the receiver down in the same was as the rear power switch, This is set in the hardware and not a image thing so we have no control over this function. DO NOT press the front power button while flashing images or bootloaders.

I cant get them to download?

 

[sargie]

Well ive already had one crash while setting up epg.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

I must apologise, you have to have an account at $shared to download those. Sorry.

There is a cams pack on the download for better site. I have compared two cams and the md5 checksums match with those from the link I posted.

Mod edit...External link removed.

 

[gsmtech]

I've removed external links, you guys can use the downloads section on the forum for any uploads.

Identified possibly another bug. I was scanning a sat and decided to exit half way through as ti was taking ages. I then went back to watching tv and my dish is stuck on the sat it moved to when i was scanning and now wont move back. I have checked the tuner config which is ok. Ive powered off and on from the back of the box waiting for over 90 seconds before switching back on.

Im stuck on the splash screen with the dish icon flashing away saying from:28.2e goto:28.2e and the timer is upto 4 mins now and the dish is not moving?

Guys, you need to understand there are new builds virtually on a daily basis, these are available from

If there is a thread created here, then technically the thread should also be updated as releases are made, in theory anyway

 

[digidude]

on other forums, the OP has nearly identical threads for duo, solo, ultimo, etc, and keeps them updated when a new build is available. i notice that these threads, while on a LOT of other forums, are not on DW, i also notice that the pettiness in trying to 'sneak' links into the TM section is unbelievable, and wouldnt be tolerated on WoS or the majority of other forums (i think i know of about 3 forums that dont care about posting links to other forums)

like you said, EVERYONE that uses the image will see your url anyway, wether its in the splash screen, the boot screen, the about screen, while downloading a plugin, or while running one of numerous plugins that now also direct people to WoS as part of the console output

the rules everyone agreed to while signing up, and continue to agree to by posting, state something along the lines of not posting links to, or advertising forums of a similar nature, anyone who doesnt agree with these rules (especially when they expect others to follow similar rules themselfs) is completley free to log out and not come back

 

[ellie1998]

Pot and kettle comes to mind
You have shamelessly promoted your technomate software site which is an advert for a commercial concern, even it's url is an advert.
Last year you even started your own forum you cannot be bothered to upload files to here but instead link elsewhere but you expect others to upload their files here.

You had a post edited by a mod yesterday because you had put in an external link

https://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/index.php?threads/291960/#post2147722

I get the impression that that is something personnal rather than you having a problem with links considering you cannot seem to stop using links yourself ?.

What a marvelous long winded statement from someone who respects ethics :grayyawn:

The links posted where the download centre only, so wouldn't be a direct link to our forum.

Whats the point of posting changelogs here if images cant be linked too?

To staff here, you guys decide what you would like, not really fussed tbh. Not after starting a battle or anything. Like I've already stated I only popped over to help Sargie in that thread as somebody asked me to, then got drawn into this, but if posting here is going to cause so much controversy I wont bother posting and I'll ask my team to refrain from posting any help here.

Jesus what a fooking joke this thread has turned out to be. So let me get this straight if i want support on the image or indeed updates i have to join yet another forum. FFS.
