just found some more information

Hopefully ViX will change their mind. In other words, hopefully WoF finds this box usefull :)

It's not a question of vix supporting the box it's also manufacturer making test Box available to Andy.
His extremely good but he cab hardly write for a box he does not posses.
His a genius but.....

iam about to buy another box in the next few days and i am torn between this and the new gigablue hd quad plus :confused:
Hello
I was recently in contact with Golden Interstar and they have told me the OpenVix will support and release images for their latest hi-end receiver Xpeed LX3 soon.
Can you please confirm or deny that?
Thanks
I'm looking to buy another box soon and this one is interesting me.
Can anyone tell me if the hdmi in port would allow me to capture video from another device?
Hi,
On behalf of forum users- please let me know whether by now - other e2 images can be installed on LX3. Linux os.
Thanks for your reply..

we are in the process of testing the receiver and are awaiting a driver fix for an issue before we decide.
The driver issue will be solved sooner or later, this is a good receiver at a good price in need of a good image with English support like vix so please give it the support it needs and deserves.
Driver will be fixed soon.
It will be very nice to have the best e2 image on the LX3 board from VIX Team.Please VIX developers,make a image for this receiver.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Driver will be fixed soon.
Or not.. :)
Or not.. :)
If your referring to the menu button problem, a driver fix was posted for that several days ago.

New beta drivers attached. Letīs see what happen.

But as the box won't support HDCP many devices can't be connected at all.

Well this message has probably made my mind up as to what Receiver to get next :D it was a choice between the Duo2 or the Xtrend ET10x
But now :smiley_yup:

Not yet, as there is a driver issue that has to be fixed first.
Are there any plans to create a section in the forum for golden interstar xpeed receivers like you have for all the others manufacturers you are creating images for?
Like I said,don't have any issues with ATV or HDF.It's very good and powerful receiver:thumbsup: I hope VIX image comes soon:thumbsup:

After spending weeks deciding that the Gigablue Quad Plus was the route forward, being cheaper than the Vue+ Duo2, I have only just learned about the Golden Interstar LX3.
There was earlier mention of some problems with the menu button & the OK button. have these problems been sorted, does anyone know?
I am very ignorant in the use of such machines.

Many thanks. " further questions occur to me: Firstly, am I correct in assuming that all the instructions will be in German, or is there an English version? Secondly, I was thinking of buying the machine without a hard drive & fitting my own. Is this pretty easy?

English manual, but bit pointless when using a 3rd party image such as ViX.
Yes HDD easy to install, cradle is self explanatory. 3.5" will use whole cradle, if using 2.5" just fix to one side of cradle.
Moved to correct section.
Well I Bit the Bullet and ordered the LX3 with 3 DVB-S2 & 1 DVB-C/T2 Tuners from the sponsor and it is arriving tomorrow I can not wait :thumbsup:
the only thing that I am Disappointed about is it looks like it uses the same Crappy Remote as the Miraclebox
just as well I have bought a Harmony 650 remote
would the New Duo 2 remote work with the LX3 as I would probably buy one of them as I love the Solo2's remote and would not get to Confused :roflmao:

You will be a lot more disapointed when you realize how awful response LX3 do have for IR :)

I actually really like the remote.

No issues here, I find it actually responds and goes through menu's/bouquets faster than Duo2.

How far you are from the LX3?
Iīm approx 4 meters from it and vertical up/down need to be 0-26 degrees from the box to get IR command to go thru.
Ordered IR-repeater from Ebay so it will hopefully solve this issue.
I have had two LX3 boxes and both have exactly same poor reseption and same thing with orginal and Harmony 700.
and mainly i do have feeling that Solo2 runs much more "smoothly" than Lx3, including timeshift etc overall things.
I should have no problem then as I am only about 5 foot away from where the receiver will be
as it will be in my Back room with my HI-FI & Computer, our lass has the Virgin Box in the front room :D
I found a potential driver issue when testing my new LX3 receiver. I have only one tuner using Thor. I made a timer recording for a Thor channel, and then I started to watch and timeshift another Thor channel from a different transponder. When the time came for the recording, LX3 became unresponsive, and there was a symbol on the TV screen to indicate it's waiting.. but the channel never changed to the one that should have been recorded. The selected channel was showing ok but there was no response for any of the remote buttons. I had to power reset the box. The timer recording was started only after restarting the box.
This has happened twice, at least the second time was with timeshifting, not sure about the first time. It doesn't happen every time. When it works ok, the box informs that the channel needs to be changed (and it changes automatically) because of timer recording.
I wonder if this is a known issue. The driver version is from the middle of May.
I think they fixed the Driver problems with Vix Apollo 3
@ Rassi, sit around 3 meters away, not had any issues. Found it comparable to VU+ Ultimo and Duo2 in remote response and they are both very directional.
@ MPele, not had any timeshift issues here, I've got Timeshift enabled.
New drivers due in next few days fixing OSD position setup, currently being tested by manufacturer. For the time being best to turn off overscan on TV.
I have only one tuner using Thor. .
logical error, you are looking for, only one tuner.....
1 which envisions.
2 timer recording
3 timeshift
I have ordered this box, looking forward to receiving it to replace my Vu+ Duo. The "HDMI IN" looks interesting, does this mean I could connect my Apple TV directly into the receiver and not have to change channel to AirPlay etc?
Just received my LX3 very nice :smiley_yup: fitted a 1TB HHD in it easy peasy now just scanning the cable channels then I will do the sat ones
I was wondering if I could loop through from one of the LX's tuners to feed my Solo2 :confused:
if you can loop perfectly lx3 port below (loop)-> solo2
Cheers mate I will try that
should I do a Loop from Tuner A to B on the LX3 then use the loop through from tuner B to feed the Solo2
I have never used a loop through option before so still learning lol
How does it feel speed wise compared to your solo2?
You need to loop from just one of the tuners (pick a or b), don't link tuner a and b together. So loop from A goes into A on the solo2

Hello brownvim it feels about the same it's a very nice receiver but I have not had much time to check it out as it's my Grandson's Birthday and he has kept me busy
I am just about to try looping it from A to A I tried with the loop cable A/B connected and only got 300 channels on the Solo2 scanning now and already got 700+ at 70% so it looks like i have connected it correctly thanks for the advice :thumbsup:
Well I have had mixed results with the loop through I even did a few Scans and got 960 channels all working except certain HD ones :rolleyes:
but sometimes if I change the channel on the LX3 the Solo2 locks up, I presume that it is to do with the transponder that the looped channel is on :confused:
and one thing that I have noticed is that Tuner 3 DVB-S gets extremely hot and it is not connected to anything yet
tuner 4 DVB-C/T2 is warm with Cable feed connected but I think that is more to do with the heat being produced by tuner 3
Both tuners 1&2 are normal I think that I will remove tuner 3 for the time being and see about fitting an Extra Fan near to the Tuners to keep them cool
I remember reading some ware about certain tuners getting hot,but not sure if it was on this site I will do a search later
But apart from the tuner getting hot I am very pleased with the LX3 it's a nice Receiver on par with and probably Better than my Solo2
and I can imagine it taking a lot of sales away from the Duo2 & Gigablue Quad Plus, I am even getting used to the Remote probably to do with it being more responsive with the Superior processor on the LX3 compared to the Miraclebox, seeing as they are Exactly the same Remote as the one for the MBP operated the LX3 perfectly, :rolleyes: one final point any body who orders one don't expect to receive the so called free 2 pin to 3 pin adapter plug I never received one with either the Miraclebox or the LX3, good job I had a few spare Power leads that fit them from a couple of OLD Starview cable boxes :eek::nono:

We wrap the 2pin to 3pin plug in cardboard and place in the main carton, please double check that you never threw it away as packaging.
Your saying changing channel on your LX3 locks up the solo2, I thought loop only works with the receiver off.
If using loopthru, receiver connected to loopthru will not be able to view all transponders if main receiver is not in standby.

Exactly where mine was :thumbsup:

My Sincerest Apologies they where wrapped up in cardboard I thought it was just Extra packaging in the outer Box :o
really sorry about that I should have checked all the packaging
If using loopthru, receiver connected to loopthru will not be able to view all transponders if main receiver is not in standby.
I Realise that now Sicilian I thought that I could connect the 2 sat feeds to the LX3 and still get all the Channels on the Solo2 if I looped to it :nono:
Looks like I will have to get the ladders out and run a couple of extra leads tomorrow as I will not trust my luck on a Friday the 13th
But as the box won't support HDCP many devices can't be connected at all.
Hdcp can be ripped out using $5 splitters ...if you already use a hdmi splitter chances are it will allow hdcp content to be fed through anyway.
Also with two cable tuners is it possible just to use a y splitter type coax cable to feed both cable tuners?

With cable you can use loop out from one tuner and loop into other.

Got my LX3 today, happy with it so far, very fast box, does time shift with ease whilst recording other channels too. Just a little lost with some things.
How do you view the HDMI IN input? I have my Apple TV connected to it but don't know how to enable it to view on screen.
search menu HDMI IN, for I am with other software testing and works well, try home cinema, bluray ....

Indeed, I have just learned that to be the case. Strange to see a protection being 'hacked' that simple.
Furthermore: the Xtrend ET10000 looks very similar to the LX3 and will shortly fully support the HDMI-in, also for recording and transcoding. So I wouldn't be surprised to see the same happening for this box.

Noted, thanks. Will be reported to XPEED dev's.
Another bug I think I have found is the "Inadyn setup" you can't change any settings and when you access it it's always asking to install.
Without this I can't stream over the internet from another IP.
HDMI IN should be in next build.

Can anyone advise on how to download plugins using this receiver/openvix image? When I try it says that the feeds are unstable? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance.

Its been set to an unstable state because of some issues with the latest builds. You can still use the feeds tho.
Need to go into software update menu and enable allow unstable - it wont downlaod unless you decide to but will give you access to the feeds
and as soon as you get the plugin that you want turn it off again :thumbsup: has temp control 2 been taken out I can not seem to find it in the plugins :confused:

I only have mine 4-5 days but seems a very good receiver.. I have two S2 and two T2 tuners in it and working great.
It is a good step up from my Duo anyway :thumbsup:
Same here, upgraded from a Vu+ Duo, with 2 sat and 2 cable tuners. Most things work as they should, the updates have been coming in steadily which was my only concern.
Vix runs faster, I had a random reboot today, 1st one for 4 days.
The build quality is good, I like the remote better than the Duo which was already a very remote.
Think I may have found a bug, the PIP button, when pressed it works as it should, but when I want to quit the PIP mode I get a black screen with audio. Only way around this has been turning off the receiver from the back which isn't something I want to do all the time.
I would recommend this box, even though it has these early niggles which will be sorted no doubt.
Edit: pip was working fine in the 003 firmware, so something broke it in 008. To be honest it's not something I use, just been getting to know the box more.

The PIP issue has been caused by the recent changes to the PIP modes. It is being worked on.
I noticed the same thing with PIP but I thought that I might have overloaded the Tuners as I was Recording a few things while watching the Footy
I have 3 S2 & 1 T2 Tuners all Connected so I was testing them out,and like you when I went to switch it off I got a black screen but the sound was still on
but instead of switching off at the back I just restarted enigma and my recording's started recording again, I tried it 3 times and the same thing happened :confused:
How long will the plugin feeds be down for? I tried going into the VIX software update settings today and i keep getting a "background update check" message.
Is there a reason for them being down?

Yes, some testing still happening.
If you are still getting "background update check", have you tried rebooting the box?
Yes I have tried rebooting, it's been the same since I flashed the image.
In the plugins feed I only have picons and settings available
In that case, I'd try a fresh flash.
Build 008 currently available on http://www.openvix.co.uk
Reflash fixed it thanks, I have turned off background update check too. I can now see plugins etc.
I have another question, in the open web interface, I want authentication switched on as I can connect to my box from an external network.
What is the default password it sets? Is there any way to change it?
Ok figured it out, have to telnet into the box and enter passwd to change it.
Transcode working great on my iPhone :)

Hardware based, same CPU as Duo2.

Solo2's transcoding is also done in hardware (hence the CPU load during transcoding is only around 3%), but options are far less than DUO2.
Yep defo hardware, can change the quality/bitrate so it works nicely over 3G
Does someone know whats new on 9/7/2014 LX3 drivers?

Yes, HD capable.
Can you put the LX3 in Deep Standby mode with Timers set?
Does it come out of Deep Standby for Timer Recording?
Yes, it should work. Although when I first tried this at the beginning of June (with older drivers), it failed, and the box had to be power reseted until I restored control over it. But now I started to use the Deep Standby mode again, and so far it has worked every time (3-4 times). However, after the timer recording, the box doesn't go back to Deep Standby or not even to standby, it remains switched on. I hope this bug will be fixed later on.
Is the fan, temperature controlled or just on or off like on the Duo?
These are the options: Automatic, off, on.
I noticed that the device used to be warm even after being hours in the standby mode. I had the fan control set to Automatic. I changed the setting to On, and now it's much cooler. In fact, now that I tested this.. if it's set to Automatic, the fan will stop in standby mode. If it's set to On, the fan will not stop in standby mode but will stop in Deep Standby mode. In Deep Standby mode, the tv signal is also cut (if looped to tv, for example).
I guess it's better to have the fan always running (if not using Deep Standby) than have LX3 too warm.. when thinking about the life expectancy of components.

Mpele; Nice to know there's some one in the same boat.
Re: The timer from deep standby. I have discovered Rather than leave the after event on Auto in timer settings, change it deep standby or standby, then it does go to deep standby or standby after the event.
It would be nice if the vix guys fix this Auto should be Auto, not stay On. Didn't have this problem on the Duo with vix.
As for the fan, I preferred the setting on Duo where you could adjust the fan timer to come on for X mins then go off for X mins in standby.
I know it goes off in deep standby then the box gets even warmer.
To cure this I going to blue tack rubber door stops under box so the natural air flow will keep it cool.
If you want to put the box in deep standby, rather then loop through the box's Ariel tuners, use a splitter they use for cable boxes.
This hasn't had any noticeable affect on the TV signal.
I checked the Temp today with a meat thermometer between the 2 Fixed tuners and and the 2 plug in tuners and it was 48.5c, I noticed that the fan was set to Auto even though I had changed it to ON, but I forgot to back up my settings so when I upgraded to 23 my back up set it back to Auto so I turned it back to on and checked it again after 30 mins and it was still about 47.3c so no real difference :rolleyes: and my Duo2 is running at a Cool 32c with proper Fan Control
I think that I will get one of them LapTop Coolers that pheonix mentioned :D

Steve.
Am i alone with above issues:
1. Many times when trying to open record listing when recording is on, spinners comes and wonīt go a away -> Box stuckd until power cycle or "reboot -f" -f needed otherwise it wont reboot.
2. Jumping with number buttons backwards do not work flawlessly when viewing recordings. Using default OpenViX durations for jumps. No issues when jumping forward.
Using SSD for timeshift and NAS via NFS for recordings.

New bootloader.
I have no clue whats new or anything else about this nor havenīt tested it.
Bootloader 3.45, little faster boot, especially in the very beginning, display of percentage of booting process, other than these two obvious observations no clue what else is new.
New drivers too, no clue what's new either.
Good this isn't it? You got to like mysteries and surprises if you own a Xpeed LX3...

Youīre right, this is what i found as change log:
- Speed up 9 seconds
- changed display text after power on
New drivers too, no clue what's new either.
There is? Could you point where to download?

This is so true :D
Drivers came bundled with an openvix update not so long ago. If you have the latest vix you have the latest drivers. If you check menu>info>about you should see the latest drivers 08-10-2014. As for the changes?.?.?.
Mine havenīt updated, i do have Apollo 059 and drivers says "2014-08-29", but maybe itīs just text in the box info and drivers are up to date..?
Personally mostly waiting support for up to 6 tuners, so i could use 4 internal and two external USB-tuners with the box.

Not sure, mine just appeared there after flashing not so long ago, maybe do a clean upgrade?

The TM Nano 3t combo has a single switchable tuner in addition to the twin sat tuners. You can use for cable or terrestrial.

Im really alone with this? :)
Tested again with fresh install and with NFS and Samba and same thing will happen, itīll get stuck, spinners spin very often if i even open channel list
when recording, but almost everytime when I open recordins while recording.
Then tested with OpenATV, same setup and no issues at all with NFS.

I'll try and repo the issue on my LX3 tonight...
Golden Interstar LX3
OpenVix Apollo 088
skin: Magic HD Night
I've got a problem on my new GI LX-3 (OpenVix Apollo 088) with twin DVB-T tuner (Media-Tech Navigator Duo MT4168) which is USB dongle based on it9135. Both tuners are visible but both auto and manual scans show "scanning completed, 0 channels found".
I also have Vu+ Uno with the same image installed (Apollo 088) and there is no problem with this DVB-T dongle. Scanning is OK and both tuners can be used simultanuosly for recording two different DVB-T multiplexes. Linux kernel used in Vu+ Uno is 3.9.6.
Anyone can help?

Just curious, how many internal tuners you do have in your LX3?
Havent tested lately, but in the begining USB tuners didnt came visible when 4 internal tuners were in use. It was 4 tuners max with the LX3, hopefully itīs fixed and i could utilize my Sundtek sticks again.
PS. Have you tried to copy terrestial.xml from Vu+ uno to Lx3 and tested scan again?
Or just use DreamboxEdit and take channel lists from Uno to LX3

There was a limitation of 4 tuners within E2. That has been increased to 8.

Surely that must have been a driver limitation then, as E2 has no and never had a limitation on the number of drivers.

Awesome, why i havent noticed this earlier!
Oh well, itīs always huge hunt to find newest drivers and change log :)

uh oh wait.. Now reading Abuīs post again and he talks about E2 and not LX3. Need to test it again, but iīm afraid that itīs still 4 tuners :(
Tested it with Sundtek USB-stick and not working when all Internal tuners are in use.. So it is still 4 tuners max :(

That sounds like a driver issue. What image and build is the box?

I've got only 2 DVB-S tuners (embedded) in my LX3.
PS. I'll try to copy terrestrial.xml from Vu+ Uno.
PS2. I've found that Vu+ Uno on Apollo.088 has lost its ability to use my additional DVB-T stick (Asus MyCinema based on dib700 chip). It is still visible to the system but automatic scan returns info "0 channels found". Asus stick was working perfectly on Vu+ with Apollo.064. Asus MyCinema is not visible on LX3 both Apollo.064 and Apollo.090.

USB tuners are and will always be far less stable than build in tuners. It's a sensitive game with lots of variables involved; not all of which are under control.
It's always a good idea to have working image-backups before updating, but especially when using external hardware.
That sounds like a driver issue. What image and build is the box?
Yeah it must be driver issue. At the moment using ~week old OpenATV (reason is here (http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?41718-Favourites-list-spinning-ViX-when-recording-in-progress-after-upgrading-Apollo) why not using OpenVix :) )
Tested few driver version a go same setup with ViX without an luck.
Used "years" those 2x Sundtek sticks with Vu+ Duo and with Solo2 and those works like a charm.

What bootloader are you using?
Using 3.45 at the moment. 3.46 only fix "Multiple USB devices", but now i got flash to my mind again, could it be the reason. Hopefully yes, but im afraid not :)
As i do have USB stick for picons & backups in use...
No luck with 3.46 bootloader :(
Screenshots when 3 installed internal tuners + Sundtek and 4 internal + Sundtek, only ABCD visible.

Yeah, you should hold up little bit your order.. :)
I do have two of them waiting. Older C/T models, but anyway.
Anyone have a clue how reach LX3 driver devs to get request for their sight?

This is _maybe_ finally solved. Needs more tests tho. I changed OOB skin to Rossi2000īs VixBMC_1080 skin and i think i havenīt seen this issue anymore. At this point Iīll assume skin based issue. Maybe.
Anyone know change log of 13.1.2015 LX3 drivers?
Waiting possibility to use more than 4 tuners fix badly :)
Has it gone even worse with OpenViX 4.1 as there is a mention "USB tuners not working INI (GI LX3 etc) brand receivers". Are USB tuners completely useless or does that mean that USB tuners wonīt work if 4 internal tuners
are in use, like before?
Not sure about the tuners but you may be affected by this too:
http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?51073-Vertical-lines-on-SD-content-seems-like
Basically you can improve SD quality on the LX3 after a reboot just by running two commands.
I'm on 4.1.001 and it needs those commands still.

That has been the same in all releases. Lx3 will not support more than 4 tuners combined.
Has this box been discontinued? I cant find a place to buy them anymore, I currently have one and its been great.
