Hi, I have the same problem with an empty EPG appearing on the portal. I have read everything I can find on the issue here but nothing helps. I have a Foxsat-HDR and many of the suggestions seem to apply only to the HDR-FOX e.g. references to a diagnostics package accessed from the WebIf -...

Yes, thanks Gomezz. I have seen this (and used it), just curious if it was possible

fingers crossed!

I recently noticed the Android Freesat App which allows you to set a recording from your phone/tablet when you have a Freetime box. Looks handy and I will keep it just for the EPG functionality, but is there any possibility that the App can be tricked into working with a Foxsat-HDR (with custom...

You do need a reasonably accurately positioned dish to get through the postcode check. You probably need a signal quality better than 70%. You dont have to use your own postcode; it is used just to decide on which region should be used for the BBC and ITV. You can enter any postcode; e.g. if...

This is a difficult one, because most of the time they work out of the box. No one else seems to have had this problem I assume you have a tv connected (on HDMI?) and the dish is connected before you switch the foxsat on. (to be sure only plug the foxsat in after you have made the connections)...

I want to use the opkg-tools package created for the Foxsat HDR on the HD. When I first ran opkg-unpack I got an error because it couldn't find 'basename'. First thought was simply to make a link just like all the other commands, but as they are on a readonly file system, my work around was to...

ftp binary mode. I was sitting on a train and the penny dropped. I checked as soon as I got home. ftp was defaulting to ascii mode and was transforming the \n\n to \r\n as it uploaded the files. I should have spotted that one myself. Its amazing how much you forget if you dont use it for...

@xyz321 This may be something. I can see \r\n combinations in the unpack script. Odd, as far as I know this hasn't been anywhere near windows. I'll look at this more carefully this evening. @raydon Yes, I do that always (I actually set it to 777) @af123 Thanks for putting the flash layout on the...

Yes, I had considered that because I had problems when I uploaded another script I wrote on a windows machine. I now work exclusively in my ubuntu VM to eliminate the risk. The script to unpack packages comes straight out of the opkg-tools package so I assume that shouldnt have any ^M 's...

I'm back again, with another problem although I think this is more of a (busybox) linux problem. The HD does not have/use a /opt directory. What I want to do is to maximise the reuse of any packages already available for the HDR (at least those that make sense; perhaps the channel editor and...

Life's boring if it's too easy!!

Thanks af123. For those who are interested: FOXSAT-HD Internal Flash Layout Name Address + Size 0: cfe 0x00000000 + 0x00100000 (1.0 MiB) 1: vmlinux 0x00100000 + 0x00200000 (2.0 MiB) 2: rootfs 0x00300000 + 0x00100000 (1.0 MiB) 3: lib...

Of course I couldn't resist trying it out immediately! It works perfectly! Thanks a lot, I wouldn't have been able to compile the kernel myself. Do you know how I can see how much space the firmware is occupying, and how much is available? I guess this will very quickly become and issue. What I...

Hey, thanks!I'll try it out as soon as I can. I just logged on to let anyone following this thread know that the tinyftp works fine. I had a look at the link about creating the device nodes manually. Perhaps I didn't read carelfully enough or far enough but it is mainly concerned with...
