    Make a backup of /lib/modules/3.5.3/extra/bcmlinuxdvb.ko

    Fresh flash build 715 & overwrite the backed up driver if it is different.

    nice one guys thanks for the info

    As pheonix says, the TM2T is a great box, if only TM could get a kernel/driver combo correct.




    The drivers started flaking out when they finally got various media playback working, since those updates there have been various live TV & recording issues.
    The current drivers are a bit better on the recording issues, but re-introduce old media play back issues (not as bad though) & live TV sound sync issues.

    However, not everyone is experiencing these problems & they seem to happen randomly which makes it harder to fix.
    nice one guys thanks for the info

    I to have this box and I have to agree when its working right its a blinding box but and after flashing to the newest image I was left with no chose but to revert back to a older image. Just a thought but is there anything us TM users can do to speed this new driver/kernel update through i.e email TM and moan like hell or something along those lines ?

    TM are well aware of the issues, but by all means do feel free to contact them & let them know your expierences.
    Unfortunately for us, we're still playing a waiting game.

    I'm currently using VIX image 715 on my 2T. All is well and dandy apart from recording!

    What the hell is wrong with TM, ffs!

    The recording (I record HD) causes the channels to stutter. I have a 750gb seagate SATA hard drive which runs at 7200rpm. I have formatted it etc but still get the same issues.

    Is this a confirmed issue and can anyone help with this, please?

    I just upgraded to the latest image and all is fine except that all my recordings are blank. They show the correct playback time and the recording is playing but there is no picture or sound. So I guess its back to 684 image for me...

    I find that my 2t behaves reasonably well when you actually flash it with the new image, the drivers seem to work better that what they do with downloading. I have had only one blank recording in the past three weeks, no stutter whatsoever on HD channels and Lip sync is fixed when a system restart, and this is sorted for a few days at a time.

    I am using build 717 (built in driver set) downloaded straight from vix.

    This was a complete fresh flash and did not use the wizard to restore settings, this was done manually.

    The only other thing I did was to delete crossepg when enigma was stopped using a telnet session.

    Box has been pretty stable, all autotimer recordings functioning properly from both the 2t upstairs and downstairs

    I don`t want to keep banging on about the fact build 385 from technomate is near perfect with no issues at all to mention, for me if there is nothing wrong with that build then why keep changing it, I do realise they may have to do some changes but on the whole why mess about with it as much as they do, just going on the build count they`ve messed around with it more than 400 times since 385, thats why I have tried using some of the latest but always revert back to 385 for the most stable version that they have offered, rant over and if anyone wants to try it pm me and I`ll send it you

    Technomate have nothing at all to do with the ViX builds other than the drivers and kernel they supply us with, if you want to know what each new build provides over the previous read the changelog.

    This is getting ridiculous. I am trying the 4D image latest one dated 19.07.13 and even that has issues.

    I paid over £200 for this bloody box. What a joke.

    I think I want to sell this one and use the proceeds and more to get a VU+DUO. Can someone advise me the quickest way to do so? Thanks.

    you could advertise it in the for sale section on the forum or ebay may be the better option.

    The driver developers are activly working on all the issues we've let them know about again, so hopefully soon, we might have decent working drivers.

    Couldn't see 684 in the download section, so plumped for 683 which seems stable atm.
