Thanks for the various answers. I wouldn't describe myself as a newbie with DreamBox, I also have had a
DM800 before, and several other Linux sat boxes...
Those asking to see the Configs of oscam... Newnigma2 ships with oscam modern, for which there is no real config to be found. It's all automatic. When I use old-style oscam, then indeed the configs are in /etc/tuxbox/config but then not really relevant to this discussion.
HD+ is working fine with my card in the card-slot.
I think it's generally been good advice to keep away from the OpenXXX (PLI, ATV, HDF...) images, as they do indeed seem to be worse at supporting the hardware, crash more, and a couple don't even boot.
So I've gone back to Newnigma2, installed the latest image (9th April 2023) and I have to say it's
mostly working...
HD+ channels clear perfectly fine (the only one that really interests me, being a non-German speaker, is Deluxe Music HD
). Recording one channel and watching another seems to work fine (this was broken in some of the Open... images). The clock is showing the right time. The only bugbear I still have is that the EPG is not complete. It still shows only "now and next" but not for all channels!! I've discovered that, for example, on Deluxe Music I get the full EPG for the next several days. For BBC, ITV, and many other channels I still just see the frustratingly few "now and next" EPG entries. All channels are in the same Favourites bouquet and I'm using EPG-Refresh. If I set it to use PiP (picture in picture) I see it visits all the channels in the Favourties .. someone has an idea how to diagnose the problem? Log files? Some extra config I can check (I have ssh access to the box, of course...)
Thanks again already for all the advice, general and specific.
Edit:
The problem with the incomplete EPG appears to only affect channels on the satellite at 28.2E. I get the full EPG list for channels on 19.2E.
I have found some references to the fact the satellite position is wrongly coded in satellites.xml in /etc/tuxbox. The suggested fix was to change this line:
<sat flags="1" name="Astra/Eurobird (28.2E)" position="284">
to:
<sat flags="1" name="Astra/Eurobird (28.2E)" position="282">
However, even after correcting that, and re-scanning, I still have trouble with the EPG on 28.2. Anyone has any new ideas for me? Is it possible to install CrossEPG under Newnigma2?
Thanks and regards,
