Nemesis start up challange

Does the Atemio have blind scan?

Get comfortable transferring files because I have several that should work such as on-board channel, sat and pid editors.
I think diseqc 1.2 positions will go way over 100 positions in Enigma 2. You will need to enter all your antenna settings one time, then you can copy and save them to transfer to future images. The antenna settings can be transferred to a different image or even a different receiver as long as it is running an Enigma 2 image. I think you will really enjoy the receiver and the operating system once you become familiar with it.
 
Yes it has blind scan. So far I have only used manual scan for one TP. It did it in a few seconds. I will start working on clearing the Euro stuff and loading your N.A. sat list. Later I will want to try your other files as I get to know the system.Wife went to bed, I'm back up after a short nap and ready to try a few things. I'm still recovering from my knee transplant (gets a little better each day) so everything is happening in slo mo.
 
Take your time. You have been through quite an ordeal.

There is not much of a risk of bricking the receiver by transferring or changing files in the receiver's operating system. About the worst that can happen is you have to reload the image and start over. So make backups often so you will have a restore point!

The antenna settings reside in etc/enigma2. The name of the file is settings. You have a large antenna system, so you will want to copy and keep the settings file in etc/enigma2 once you have correctly entered all of the satellites. The Engima 2 operating system allows you to use a multitude of antenna settings, so I doubt you have any problems like you experienced trying to set up the Optibox Raptor.
 
Always remember to place enigma into sleep mode before transferring live files as they are very sensitive and prone to corruption when transferred while enigma is live.
 
That is a good idea but it I rarely if ever do that. All I do is let the box idle. Don't try to change channels or do anything else with the box while transferring files has worked fine for me. Zero problems so far.

Anyway, Aren't the telnet commands init3 to sleep & init4 to wake?

Other way around.

Init 4 places enigma to sleep.
Init 3 reboots enigma.
Init 6 reboots the receiver akin to a full reboot rather than the above which is just a GUI reboot.
 
Thanks for the info PALE-RIDER, good to know.

PixL - here is a program that I use for enigma and transferring files, I use Filezilla in the past, I don't like it to many windows.

Well I'm stuck in a boot up loop now. I had done a factory reset, removed the existing satelites.xml and replaced it with EB's file. Looked thru the Nemesis menus and still see the Euro stuff. Reboot and reinstall 4.2 again, now keeps loading from 51% to 100% over about 5 times, then sits there for several minutes, then loadong again 51-100%. Can't change any screen.
 
Did the receiver display what is described in step 11 when you reloaded the image?

1) - Turn off the decoder;

2) - Disconnect any peripherals connected to the USB port on the front and rear;

3) - Format a USB memory stick from your PC in fat32;

4) - Download the latest version of firmware available;

5) - Unzip the zip or rar file;

6) - Copy the folder "atemio" on the USB stick;

7) - Insert the memory stick into the front USB port of the decoder (open the flap that covers cam / card);

8) - Turn on the decoder by rear panel;

9) - The display will show "VOL + to upgrade" for a few seconds;

10) - Press the arrow up in the front panel of the decoder;

11) - You will see step by step in the display: "Flashing SPLASH", then "Flashing KERNEL", then "Flashing ROOTFS" (this takes a couple of minutes), and then "Complete! Reboot!" and restart: Wait until it reappears "VOL + to upgrade";

12) - The procedure is completed; turn off the decoder by rear panel;

13) - Remove the pen from the front USB port;

14) - Reconnect any peripheral or hub-and-USB port on the rear USB;

15) - Turn on the decoder according to the instructions of the setup wizard.
 
I did those steps exactly as written. When I get to the step 11 displays "flashing rootfs" for several minutes, then goes into a "Loading" rather than a reboot. Loading goes up to 100%, then back to 51%, counting again to 100% over and over.
 
I disconnected the network, box still locked in a loop. I retried installing the OpenATV image with the net unplugged, still the same.
I did find this..
When running the ATV install, at the end of the flashing rootfs I briefly get "complete". At this point I switched off power, pulled the usb stick, and powered up to a normal screen and can navigate the menus. Since the Euro stuff is still in there I ran the factory reset of which at reboot it goes into the loop again. Might have something to do with the auto reboot points in the image install and or the factory reset.
 
OK
We can get rid of the channel information from Europe another way.
See if you can install the satellites.xml file in etc/tuxbox. If yo can do that, we can delete the other stuff manually.
 
I have your satellites.xml file loaded in the box at etc/tuxbox. I don't know my way around the receiver and can't seem to find "home" or some sort of starting place. Here is a screen shot I took showing just Euro sats still.

A factory default Should get rid of that stuff. All those satellites being pre-programmed is great if you can see those satellites, but useless if you cannot. Seems the factory default is broken for the moment.

Channel information resides in the lamedb file that is in the enigma2 folder located at: etc/enigma2.
We can change or replace the lamedb file and get rid of all of those channels. Favorite folders which stores your favorite channels for a particular satellite are also stored in the etc/enigma2 folder. We will look at doing some cleanup in a bit.

First, what about the antenna settings? Can you navigate to them and set up a test satellite or two? How many tuners are you using, and how many tuners do you have?
Antenna settings should be from the main menu--->Setup--->Service Searching--->Tuner configuration. Set the configuration mode of the selected tuner to Advanced for your antenna system.

Setup a couple of satellites and we will see if we can show you around a bit. The E2 operating system is not hard but it has to be learned...
 
Hey you're almost there Pixl! Keep on pushing and once you get the tuner config going the rest will be a piece of cake. :bigthumbup:

You can also use Dreamboxedit to get rid of those useless sats and channels.
 
Attached is my lamedb file. Load this file in the receiver and it will give you the same channels as I am currently using. It should be compatible with your receiver, but save your current lamedb file just in case.

As mentioned earlier, The lamedb file is located at: etc/emigma2.
You may transfer this file just like you did the satellites.xml file but with a twist. Once the file has been transferred, either unplug the receiver or use the rocker switch on the back to turn the receiver OFF, then restart. Doing it this way will force the receiver to swap the lamedb files.

I have no favorites or anything at this point, so we can burn anything burnable for now.

I have two tuners installed, working with just one for now. I can see the path you gave me, so things are begining to match up. In the tuner configuration area I can now see and select the N.A. sats you sent me. I'm running a blind scan on 101w right now. Results a little later after my wife vacates the living room.
 
Excellent!
Installing my lamedb file will give you a bunch of channels without scanning. All you would need to do is enter your antenna settings for the satellites.
Either way, you are making progress!
