EB has one right now and is testing it and will post on it when he has time..I should have one early next week.

[ViP3R]

Now we know why the Triplex is faster than the Alien 2 and at much lower cost... 540MHz based CPU - Compared to only 450MHz on the A2!

Just a short post to clear up the clock speed on the Golden Media Triplex.. I was wrong when I stated that the Golden Media Triplex had a 540MHz based CPU - Compared to only 450MHz on the A2!

I do Like to admit when I have made a mistake, but in my defense there were conflicting reports.

I have received an email from the Manufacturer ( Golden Media) clearing up any confusion.

The fact is that the Golden Media boasts a 600Mhz clock speed and this does explain why the blind scan is far superior in speed to it's little more expensive brother the A2..

There is also a new working Enigma 2 image for the Triplex that even A2 users can take advantage of, thanks to the Triplex Dev Team.

"Fulan" who codes and issues the software for Spark will be releasing a new file I'm told next week, The Golden Media Online Spark Service will have the latest software Update and also a nice update for users of the Golden Media Triplex here in North America!

Does the GM Triplex have manual PID entry capabilities?

Thanks,
mengram

[Costactc]

Does the GM Triplex have manual PID entry capabilities?

Thanks,
mengram

Not that I have seen in either the scan, tp menu or info bar.

[el bandido]

You can manually add a channel in the tp menu.

[Costactc]

You can manually add a channel in the tp menu.

I have added many in the tp menu EB but pid numbers?

[el bandido]

Select a tp then press the red remote button for scan. A menu pops up allowing for manual channel entry. Try it and see if it works for you.

[Costactc]

Got it EB, thanks:

[el bandido]

You are welcome! We need to test and see if it works for hidden PIDs too.

[Costactc]

You are welcome! We need to test and see if it works for hidden PIDs too.

Any example on ku band and I'll give it a shot.

[Jim S.]

I never got PID entry to work on my Alien2, although it probably doesn't help that I was trying to enter a hidden radio station so I had no idea what to enter for the video PID (different receivers usually want different things, even though they shouldn't need anything...)

[rrob311]

IDK of any channels right now that require manual pid to work or else I would like to try it. I have a couple boxes I need to check but haven't seen anything since the CW channels.

[vicentium]

Beware that the last generation GM Spark Triplex has T2 instead T tuner (mine is T2 for example); that leads to lack of finding of the cable channels when SW designed for T models are used in T2 models. Even E2 images are to be selected upon the above consideration.
