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 -...
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...
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...
Yes, I was. I now shut the box down before removing the stick and I see the files I was hoping for (maybe I had been removing the stick before the data had been flushed, I dont know). Anyway, the ps output. There seems to be two telnetd processes, one of which is a zombie
186 root...
Thanks Raydon. I have done as you suggested, and judging by the amount of led flashing on the USB sticks (I tried a FAT32 and an ext3 formatted stick) the box is at least trying to mount them., but you have guessed it, no .out files (I just shut down the box by pressing the standby button on the...
I need to find out whats going on. Has the telnet daemon actually started? I came up with the idea of mounting a USB stick and dumping some data to it to try and work out what happens during boot. I included the following in the firmware and uploaded it to the hummy. Then, before I restarted it...
