Is my screen supposed to blank out while cross is running

[robti]

Hi sorry for what is probably as stupid question, I have been running cross for over a year now and always wondered about the above, if I have a free tuner why it doesn't use that and let me continue to watch what is on the other tuner ?

Thanks

Robert

It should use free tuner. Post your logs so someone can look for you.

[robti]

Thanks for the quick reply it has never did it for well over a year including all the updates most of them done with no restore of settings, I am out at the moment and will post some logs tomorrow

Thanks

could be a number of things, such as incorrectly setup tuners. ABM always uses a free tuner on my receivers, barring those receivers that are only single tuners that is.

Also details of tuner setup and settings for crossepg downloader.

First tell us which image you use please. This is required as different images use different versions of Cross.

Then please update to Helios (build 16/17), as some functions have been updated.

Can you also confrm that you have a motorised sytem with twin LNB?

Just so you are aware, you can take screen shots using the following in your web browser, roght click and save the picture. Repalce the x so it matches your receiver's IP

And when the screen 'blacks out': were you then watching a channel on 28.2E?

[robti]

Hi rob yes I only do cross epg on bbc1 hd every morning when i say the screen goes blank I still have the cross epg window at the bottom as it updates only with a blank background

[Rob van der Does]

It is possible that Cross isn't 'smart' enough to understand your tuner setup.
For experimental purposes: could you set 'preferred tuner' in 'Customise' to tuner B and see if the issue is still the same? And make sure live-tv indeed uses tuner B before starting Cross?

[abu baniaz]

What channel were you on before you run crossepg downloader? I can find this servcie refernce, whch does not seem to be 28.2. I may be wrong. 1_0_19_22C5_80D_2_11A2B10_0_0_0

Edit: Ignore please. Previous post mentions BBC HD.

Ok update, on a clean flash with Helios with no back up before I instal any channel lists if I run crossepg the splash screen stays while I download the data so I assume this is working okay, then when I have installed my channel list (catseye motor) and run crossepg it reverts back to a blank screen.

Also if I am recording something on tuner A and run crossepg it blanks the screen till it's loading the data
