9.9.4931 - telesat® - mod & AZBox4YU



This image is a modifictaion of original 0.9.4931 and it is, in a first
place, for dummies.

The idea is that dummy, which is usng AZBox for a first time, can get
basics for normal use of it,

without any knowledge of linux/stb.



Installing this FW you are getting:

- new skin, which is, by my opinion, more elegant from the original one;

- ch list for the most watched satellites for usals DiseqC motor

- plugins: liveonsat, livefeeds, tevee4yu, WeatherForecast, SudoQ,
tuxchess_0.2, colorbars, PassReset

- CAMs and camreader: Mbox, MGCamd, MultiCAS, CheopsCAS and NewCS
(CardReader)

by default Mbox and Newcs are active, cofigured to work together,

which means that the only thing that you should do is to put your
original card in the slot and the image will appear

You can choose CAMs by pushing '****|' button

You can get ECM info if you push '****' button

- font 'telesat_Uni4AZ.ttf' - subtitles have better visibility (space is
ok)

- Network is set on automatic assigning of network parameters - DHCP

After your first restart, on VFD you will get IP address, which is
assigned to AZBox

- Network services activated: SSH, Telnet, FTP

- SAMBA activated and set right

- Settings for downloading plugins and CAMs - reset



After you install FW and your first restart, you'll get setup menu.

Choose 'TV channel', then 'Tuner A.DVB-S' and 'Antenna Setup', go down
to 'Positioner Setup - USALS', press OK and enter your USALS parameters.

After you go out from the menu, remove your USB stick, reboot your AZBox
pressing POWER button down for 5 seconds.

Your AZBox is now ready to be used.



Gratitude goes out to the AZBox4YU team:

Chemstar - for the preinstalled plugins

iPod - for the idea

Roger Rabbit - moral support

Mickey - testing

Thief - proof-reading

telesat - the one responsible for the existance of this FW



ATTENTION :

IF update with new FW is succesful - you will get SETUP menu, in other
case - pls renew update !

AZBox HD Enigma 2 preAlpha version

New KGD 0.4348

We rushed a bit but finally launch, we have here the new image based on the official 4348, we would have liked to try but we failed due to time so if there is any failure to forgive.
Looking at the requests of the users have tried to get a new firmware to comply with them that are primarily the EPG and multimedia mainly reproductions mkv.
New:
This image brings the main novelty Epg 5 days for Astra and Hispasat Spanish provider

The second new is the sigma TakeControl KGD to 8634 after many tests we have seen that the main problem in multimedia playback azbox is the mismanagement of the resources it contains, because similar equipment, popcorn, wdhd, etc ... having a perfect reproduction in the same chipset sigma 86xx, the difference is that our azbox have built and linked to other aspects that significantly reduce the resources, we managed to optimize takecontrol much better.
Tests with the TC have achieved a perfect reproduction in from internal or external HDD, mainly with high bibrate mkv getting almost the same results as a NMT533 of popcorn.
From PanelKGD you have the following options:
1) General yield figure is activated soon after starting the TKC.
2) Yield TV is activated soon after starting the TKC.
3) Media Optimization is activated when the media starts
4) Optimization rss activates when you start the rss
5) Optimization youtube activates when you start the youtube.
Options 3, 4 and 5 can be used to maximum and is recommended. But in the 1 and 2 is convenient to put a very low minimum value, if the opening of channel emulation is correct and these options should not be touched . You will be able to make several tests but a very high value in options 1 and 2 can cause the system to slow down or problems.
IMPORTANT you can make several changes to the TakeControl and the effects are immediate but if you turn off or restart the computer this configuration is forfeited, so that it will have to keep going to the Settings menu and activate the TCK will be maintained as well when you reboot your configuration.
The takecontrol always know when is activated or deactivated because it showed the display.
Other developments PanelKGD:
The version 1.1 brings separate PanelKGD of takecontrolkgd another popular option for people because of problems with USB devices and HDD and their ext2, ex**, fat, etc. .. You can now format for any device in the format of choice in HDD Extras panel, there is also the possibility of converting a HDD USB or pass this on ext2 to ex** without losing data (not guarantee) the tests were satisfactory but may someone does not go well. And last on this same menu you will have the option of formatting the DOM instead of the next Upgrade to recommend changes before putting the image to this format EYE lost all data and should only be done for a makeover However before doing this format will make a backup of PanelKGD, ddirec, telnet, etc. .. and very important part of your folder so only Openxcas would have to put your data network and download the channel list.
In the channel list we made some changes now can download the channel list of the FTP server and no need to restart, the only thing to do is just have stuck antenna configure your data.
Also we have changed the panel and its webinterface DDirec now in version 2 we have corrected the problems starting from the first version, in webinterface have to

Code:Prioridad="0"

Where there are 4 options available, "0" is off, "alta" is "high", "media" is "medium" and "baja" is "low" you will have to write it as such in lowercase, in future versions we will put it on the panel to configure it from there.

General changes:
Other changes are when you install an internal HDD without the default image format on startup will do it in ext2 and ex** not to now.
There have been more changes in the skin and tucked the new translations for spanish of Ajo.
We have improved some aspects of the boot.
And last and most important thank all who have collaborated and developed the image, mainly Morser which has been the developer of the EPG, the admin of azboxhd.es, Milix, Linarense, Fundidum, Yersi, Mpiero, Macmanolo and I will not forget anyone mas. We also want to thank the web provides the EPG (http://www.rytec.be/)
