Android and Enigma/Linux Based STB Discussion

No Video on my Edision OS Mio+ 4k

invalid@example.com (Doorguru) — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 14:21:03 +0000

I have not used my Edision Mio 4K+ in quite a while. I had boxed it up to take to a different location.

When I boot it up, I get the splash screen and then I get "no HDMI signal" on my TV.

I have checked the setup on the Edision's setup screen. Everything is in order.

I have also reflashed a different image using a usb stick (openvix-6.4.002.release-osmio4kplus) .

Still "No HDMI signal".

Is my STB toast?

TNAP 6.0. Beta-test images

Load at your own risk, but these are from El Bandido, though are untested.

EDIT. I removed the link, best to not load these until they are ready.

Here's the thread at Legit:

invalid@example.com (mikekohl) — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 16:05:29 +0000

Jeff Schumann of Manhattan-Digital tells me that he hopes to have a new set top box by early Fall.
Tentative retail should be around $129.00 (an approximation based on no surprises between now and then),
and will provide a receiver that includes ATSC 3.0 and 1.0 terrestrial TV reception as well as an S2 type DVB satellite receiver with dual (2) tuners.
Goal is to produce here in the United States, in order to have control of production, delivery and software.

Mio 4K File System

invalid@example.com (Martyn) — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 13:30:49 +0000

Can anyone tell me what file system the Edison Mio 4K uses or should be using. It rejected an EXFAT formatted drive I plugged in, so I did the "initialize" process in the STB. It has been recording daily but now my Windows 11 PC won't recognize the file system it's been using. I haven't used it for a few years, but I'm sure I didn't have an issue in the past.

Streaming from OSmio4K to TV

invalid@example.com (Alan Rovner) — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 20:08:39 +0000

Hi guys, quick question. What Android app do you use to stream 4:2:2 video from an Osmio4K (or other rcvr) to your TV? On my PC I can use VLC and that works OK. I'd like to stream from my Android phone or tablet to my TV. On the PC I go to the Mio's web page and can stream from there. I tried the same on my phone but whatever app is being used to stream doesn't work. I don't know how to change the default streaming app to VLC.

Also assuming it works OK on your phone do you use...

Edision OS Mio 4k, What's the largest size external drive it can handle?

invalid@example.com (primestar31) — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 03:34:45 +0000

My 5 year old WD 2TB external drive on my single tuner OS Mio is going bad. I finally managed to get back into it, and am copying off everything. However, since I have to buy a new one, what's the largest drive somebody has been able to use on one of these? I suspect 2TB is the largest, but I don't know for sure.

It's not so easy to find NEW 2TB drives anymore, as they are considered pretty small.

Octagon SF8008 - any good?

invalid@example.com (Brct203) — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 14:58:02 +0000

i have an opportunity to buy a used Octagon SF8008 combo. Does anyone here have any experience with it and is it good? I already have an OSMIO4K, i like the gigabit LAN on the Octagon, but not sure how the rest of the performance and useability comp[ared to the MIO4K

thoughts?

STB or fanless PC with Linux distro and DVB-S tuner?

invalid@example.com (Etaoin Shrdlu Jr.) — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 19:33:59 +0000

I've got an old OpenBox DVB-S STB I'd like to replace. I'm looking at a few suitable STB's, but it occurred to me that I might also be able to use a small "real" computer running a full Linux, a DVB-S tuner, and ... some apps TBD.

An all-in-one STB is sure to provide a better out-of-the-box experience, but I'm an experienced Linux user/hacker and would be comfortable building my own system. But is that even practical?
Can anyone recommend...

Edision Mio+ with Hauppague 950Q OTA

invalid@example.com (cyberham) — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 19:53:40 +0000

Today I connected a Hauppauge 950Q to my Edision Mio+ receiver. I can only receive two OTA stations at my remote location. Both of these scan into my Sony TV with a total of 8 channels. I know that their signals are not strong since the transmitters are 63 (CHEK Victoria, BC) and 77 miles (KVOS Bellingham, WA) away respectively. I am using a Clearstream 2V TV antenna and Channel Master CM-7777 30 dB amplifier.

When i ran a scan using the Hauppauge 950Q, it picked up CHEK immediately. That...

Enigma2 skins

invalid@example.com (Brct203) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 02:35:00 +0000

I'm playing a bit with various Enigma2 images, just out of curiosity. I'm otherwise using TNAP 4.2 with the Glamour Aura skin (the default skin, if I remember correctly)

One thing that I find challenging is the user interface... While I'm very much used to TNAP since version 3.1, I find the user interfaces of all the other images to be significantly different, particularly the mapping of the buttons.

I was wondering if I could just copy the GlamourAura skin from /usr/share/enigma2 and...
