You think this Info:

no, no ulterior motive or advertisement just a honest typo.

Hi ...

great Image again Thanks for the work.
But how can I start the hbbtv? Have I to install a plugin?
The long red button won't work now.

Now I'll try the ne skin ... cu no.trace

[Rob van der Does]

HbbTV is embedded in the image, started by long-red and skin independant.
But the channel you are watching should support it (as can be seen by the HbbTV icon in the infobar), and of course an internet connection is required.

[copex]

is it possable to backup then restore the autotimers?

[Larry-G]

is it possable to backup then restore the autotimers?

yes just FTP into etc/enigma2 and copy the autotimer.xml file to your pc, then once reflashed copy it back.
