No images are available for this receiver, so no support offered. Sorry.

My thoughts as a technician is that most of the equipment sold without little or no support !
Very quite out there when you ask a question . Plenty of information on the sales side but never the true about it future requirements!
I have a problem at the present, after carrying out instructed reboot its the same if not worse.
My thoughts is that the hard drive is faulty !
Comes down to my type of work and faulty drives !
Good luck in you with you new equipment!

Just to be clear guys and try and avoid any confusion, there are two Amiko models mentioned in here which are both very different things in terms of hardware and type of support that goes with it...
Amiko Viper Combo HDD - This was Broadcom based MIPS CPU designed and made for use with Enigma2. The hardware manufacture and I think WoS stock have both gone by now i.e. no longer available but the support in terms of E2 firmware updates is still very much available. All the usual groups still produce firmware build for this including OpenViX which you can find HERE
Amiko A5 Combo - This was Amlogic based ARM CPU designed and made for use as Android but with it's own custom interface. Essentially on the face of it did not look like many generic Android boxes do, but underneath it all that's what it was and with combo tuners that actually worked extremely well, better than most anything else I have seen that's Android based using tuners. This did and still does rely on manufacturer firmware updates, it's not open and therefore not for groups to be able to build and support.
There was experimental support for dual boot to Enigma2 on this BUT it's important to note this was never manufacturer advertised or supported, it was experimental and it was something I worked closely on with the manufacturer to allow us to try and get drivers right etc., it came very, very close to being right but at the time we just never quite got there fully, being AML, 64 bit and entering into the unknown in a lot of respects we were right up against it with drivers and plugin support for E2, from what I remember in actual fact the only thing that didn't exactly work by the end was the likes of CrossEPG mainly (thinking of things from a more UK point of view that would be required), the irony is now this would probably work well now with other things that have since come around, different ways of gaining EPG data etc. but we'd spent over a year on it to get to this stage, pressure for new products was mounting and it become unrealistic to keep the guys in the far east on a project that was only ever intended to be experimental and was over a year old by then so afraid that's largely where it ended.... If I still had the hardware here whilst I'm stuck in lock down like most of the rest of the country then I'd happily give this another go right now just for something to occupy my time but afraid I don't have the hardware here right now, I might do at the office but can't make a journey there to check to easily right now, if and when I can and if the lock down continues (as it probably will be for some time yet from the looks of things) then I may well try this out just for fun.

We have no plans to cease support for any of the Amiko models currently supported. In actual fact support for Amiko e2 boxes is likely to grow rather than shrink.
Currently support Amiko boxes:
Amiko Viper 4K, nice looking great spec combo box. Supports QT Stalker, Kodi, Blindscan.
Amiko 4K51, great spec broadcom based 4K receiver.
Amiko Viper Combo HDD, end of life to purchase but still well supported.
