To use Kodi, a hard drive should be installed, and a swap file needs to be made A quick test by me shows a functioning Kodi 17.

OpenATV is German a based image and it contains European satellites and channel bouquets in the default image. We cannot receive these satellites in North America, so all default scanned satellites and their channels/boquets should be deleted. I copied this telnet command from an unknown source some time ago. This is the best telnet command, and the best way that I have seen to clear the OpenATV images of these unusable entries.

Here is the command:
init 4 && sleep 10 && rm -rf /etc/defaultsat.tar.gz && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/lamedb* && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.tv && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.radio && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/*.del && init 3

(That is a one line command or single line entry, starting with init 4 and ending with init 3.)

I do not see any major problems being reported with Kodi, and the parts of Kodi I tested over the weekend worked very well.

Blindscan is supposed to be the next Octagon project for the SF4008.

Hello EB
My box is having a hell of a time with these new drivers, there is no audio and not just on one image is in most of them VIX, SATGREAM,ATV,OPENEIGHT,EGAMI, if I go back to the early updates like the beginning of this month or earlier than I get the audio back, I compare the settings from an earlier image with audio to the latest image and there is no difference, I hope nothing got corrupted.
Let me know if you have any Ideas.
Regards.

Have you changed the HDMI cable?
There is a 9-20 online update on SatDreamGr image. Did you install and test it?

[chewie]

I did installed all the update from yesterday and no sound, I haven't change the HDMI cable yet, but like I mentioned it works fine with earlier images, The HDMI is going true a HDMI switch, I am going to bypass it and see if it corrects the problem, I'll let you know.
Regards.

I visit several other forums that have many SF4008 users. I would expect to see a thread or threads on this subject if the sound issues was from the driver or image updates. Check your settings in the receiver and try another HDMI cable.
