Ouch, apologies, I never realised that might be the case, or that it could be such a touchy subject.

It does say clearly 'SH4 Duckbox Project' alright.

    Cheers, Brian

Alien2+ *DOES* support OpenPLi courtesy of the PKTeam Hyperion V4 distribution, see: http://www.pkteam.pl...hp?f=111&t=6273

A really nice piece of work, really works well with the Alien2+, pity the website is mostly in Polish.

The above webpage says PKT SVN-2860 HYPERION v4 Image SH4 Duckbox Project GIT-5580.

But I have the later SVN-2874 installed (Enigma2 2013-11-13, with kernel 2.1.32.59_stm24_0211).

All the menus say "OpenPli".

You say "Dib0700 amongst others is in the OpenPli feed"

What are the URLs of the OpenPLi feeds ?    Tell me that, and I'll add them to /etc/opkg/official-feed.conf  (so I can try to install the dib0700 drivers).

  Cheers, Brian

The Sony PlayTV is not a stick, it's an optional extra for the Sony PS3, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayTV  Yes, it is USB2 compatible, and the Amiko Alien2+ box does recognize the hardware is connected (The PlayTV is listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices). And the PlayTV works fine as a dual-DVB-T2 tuner on the PS3, and also on MythTV and OpenElec.

You say, 'easily installed from the feed' -- the PKT feeds defined in /etc/opkg/official-feed.conf do not include the dib0700 drivers or module-init-tools.ipk.

Can you give me the URL for a feed that does include these packages?  [they would need to be as compiled for the ST7162]

Hello, please allow a novice to query: In Ireland DVB-T2 is transmitted from two multiplexes, so viewing and recording of programs that are on different multiplexes is impossible. I have a PlayTV connected to an Alien2+ with PKT Hyperion V4 image 0270201209300000. This is great software, everyone is to be thorroughly complimented, but there is a very evident absence of a user manual (I have been writing one and might post it), and guidance to break in novices like me.

I have been trying without success to install dib0700 drivers (for the PlayTV tuners) for some time. Firstly it is difficult to find the dib0700 package. The latest I have found is usbtuner_0.7.3_all.ipk  Then an 'opkg install' fails on dependency issues: first that module-init-tools is not installed, then that enigma2 is not from 2.6git20091014. 'opkg --force-depends install' fails too for the same reasons. Then it is nearly impossible to find a module-init-tools.ipk, and the only one I could find fails to install. The forums are very vague and even ambiguous about the status of support for dib0700 drivers and their dependencies.

Can someone *please please* give a step-by-step guide to installing the latest dib0700 drivers and their dependencies ?
