The rf out may need enabling from the menu. Try connecting via hdmi or scart

[pipeman1]

I have plugged scart into the tv and when i power the box on and it states that its booting,the open source logo appears on screen,but then when the TM TWIN OE shows up on the screen on the box i cant then get the box to show any menu or anything at all on my tv screen,,,,does the box need to be connected to a sat dish or anything for the likes of the menu to show up on tv,,i wouldnt of thought so ,but im not a engineer..haha.does it need flashing or software replacing,because i have fitted a new power supply board to the inside,,was wondering if it has lost something when the power supply went pop.

Have you tried to load a new image on it? That might cure it

[pipeman1]

havent yet,,,but dont know how to as ive just got it,,and that would be my next question,,,how too...

[gilvey]

Download the image you want, ie openvix, openpli, openatv etc it's your choice. Put the file on a usb stick then put into the rear usb port and basically follow on screen instructions

you download from the tm download center just add www. to this link and make sure
you use a image for your tm model, http://***.downloadtmsw.com/bbs/main.php
i have a tm twin and i find the 4D image very good image.
when you download the image you choose, open the zip folder there should be a folder named update. take it out and put it on your desktop, dont open this folder just send it to the usb stick, then
Stick the usb stick in the front on the machine in the usb slot next to the card slot. Turn the box off at the back and then turn on. The box should detect the stick and come up with a message on the screen saying update found and press ok. Press ok button on the box [not on the remote] and it will flash the image to the box, when done it will tell you its finished and then turn the box off at the back and then turn back on. I then personally keep pressing exit on the front of the box as it was supposed to do something about partitioning the drive but lots of people no longer do this. The box will then load the image you have choosen and start with the normal wizard screen that all other e2 boxes start with.

first try a new image and see if that clears the box
and then you need to set the menu's up and either
oad a channel list or scan the sats and channels
you will also need a dreambox edit and a DCC on your computer
to connect and communicate with your box

[pipeman1]

thanx again,dont laugh,,you say i need a dreambox edit,,is that compatabile with my tm twin?

********************************************
yes i use both the dreambox edit for sorting channels
and sending and uploading chn lists to and from the box
the DCC also works first class, what you need to understand
is that all makes and models of linux boxes work more or less the same
way, the menus and set up is basically the same on all makes of linux box

[pipeman1]

Thanx benny9,,,,last couple of things,,,where is the best place to get the programs what you said,,,,and is it okj if i get back to you if i need anymore advice?

[digicon]

you could always try VUCC as well which is a much simpler version of DCC especially for newbies and has everything built in that you need to access the receiver: Vu Control Centre Version 0.8 - Downloads - Digital Kaos
