[ET8500] Is it possibly for the STB to turn itself on - and why?

You could end up deleting your epg by mistake on the hard drive when you are deleting old recordings,If the epg is stored on its own usb stick then that cant really happen

That's not really going to happen though. EPG data is live data in that it's held in the flash while the box is running. It is only saved to or read from its storage media on startup shutdown or when updating.

How do I transfer picons from my file into Flash Memory ?

Thanks,

I can't remember the exact location on the flash you have to ftp them to but some one will.

Thanks,

Put your folder(ftp) named picon into the root folder.

 

[Ashley69]

And for anyone downloading picons from the plugins it will give you the option as to where to install them.

Do I treat SNP and LCD picons the same or put in a different folder? They cant be in the same folder as it asks if it needs overwriting?

THanks,

James.

I have only one folder in root with the SNP Picons. These picons show on my LCD and on the epg/banners etc.

To the OP, without a power timer set, if his ABM is last thing to update then his box won't go back to sleep will it?

Why's that then?

That's what I'm asking/trying to clarify. Maybe a setting I missed but if box in standby before you go to your pit, is there not one of them, CrossEPG or ABM, that will update but not put box back to sleep? I set a standby timer in case after them.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

No timer needed on both. I have ABM to scan first n CrossEPG 15 mins after and all my boxes are in standby.

Do you have Openwebif or streaming ports open? If so, check your Internet router logs. I had a similar issue a while ago and it turned out that some rat was connecting and streaming from my box. This could trigger the standby on / off.

FYI - the default for streaming authentication on Vix images is set to off (not sure why, I think it should be default on).
