Giga blue quad plus worth a look?

[RuberDuck]

I'm having a mare with mine . When is VIX ready RD. 3 minutes to boot from deep standby using openatv open mips was ok but kept losing mounts when using both internal hdd and usb. Hdfreaks tonight for me then westkill

As far as i'm aware were just waiting on a problem with the LCD not displaying after boot up to be fixed, cant really say any more than that as i have not even seen a GB Quad plus yet, I do have it's little brother the GB quad though.

Loosing mounts ?, you dont have that TSpanel muck installed do you ?.

Ts panel was already installed when box arrived with mips on it. So it may have been that but tbh no cams would install on it either except what was already on it. I would prefer if folks would just send me a clean box especially when they don't tell me they will be messing with image. Doesn't explain the shockingly long boot time on atv but the again atv is notoriously unstable it may be ok of I Flash today's build

The reason I asked is because on Pli / OE-A images TSpanel is notorious for hacking it way through and replacing numerous system files as part of it's install process, this in turn affects ALL mount points and makes a full removal of TSpanel impossible without reflashing the image (plus other issues). not sure whats up with ATV but if you used their v4.1 image which is built from the OE-A v2.2, remember it's a beta build and the first build so it will have bugs, we have been building our own version (Apollo) for a few weeks and working our way through the bugs hence the delayed release.

settings backups are not cross image compatible, they will only work on the image they were created from.

cheers rd mate thats part of why i kept the enigma2 folder from the image and put it into new image and done a scan

Buy a cable tuner all you will get is the few free channels and no you wont get any catch up service

Ah thats a shame was worth asking i guess Cheers

Found the issue RD the hdd appears to be bolloxed even though it is brand new. It won't initialize with any image and Windows don't even see the thing. Phone call to the supplier me thinks

Have you tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard that has Revived a few dead hard drives for me it's worth a try mate

Yes m8 I've tried loads. I've now managed to get it to a raw drive using diskpart command in dos so it can now be seen but I can't format it. There is a program by western digital that should be able to rebuild the partition table by writing zeros to the whole drive but we shall see later today

[nsw9154]

I think that MiniTtool partition wizard allows you to fill it with zeros or ones or both

I'd say it is goosed m8. I can see it now in using win xp, mini tool and easus but can't format it in any of them. It won't format with gparted under Linux either. It's been sitting at 95% initialization in my uno for the last 3 hours so it will either fail or uno will time out
